It was a historic victory for Blackhawks baseball, marking the first time they have ever swept the Aztecs.
LQ improves to 16-3 overall, 12-0 in league with their sights now set on a CIF-SS championship in Division 3.
Also deserving of recognition is the LQ softball team. They are undefeated as well, giving La Quinta two unbeaten programs on the diamond.
Congrats! Wish we could have been there. LQ baseball and softball both undefeated in league play! LQ has the valley on lockdown! @LQBlackhawks @LQHSsoftball https://t.co/iLexOVSupf
