Lubbock Northwest coach Gilbert Iglesias was confident his team would “load ‘em up and knock em in.”
He was right thanks to Matt Ortega.
In an overwhelming victory, Ortega hits three home runs and Lubbock Northwest beat Floydada all-stars in the five-inning run-rule, 14-2 in the 2014 West Texas Sectional Tournament on Sunday.
Northwest now faces the Childress all-star team Monday at 8 p.m.
