The thundering C. C. Winn High School Lady Mavericks softball team is playing the District 30-5A Champion Edinburg North High School Lady Cougars in the Bi-District Championship in a best of three game series during April 25-26, 2014 at the San Antonio Northeast Independent School District Softball Complex.
The District 29-5A fourth place Lady Mavericks are playing Game One on Friday, April 25th, at 6 P.M. at the San Antonio Northeast ISD Softball Complex. Game Two is on Saturday, April 26th, at 5 P.M. at the San Antonio Northeast ISD Softball Complex and Game Three, if necessary, will be played 30 minutes following Game Two.
The Lady Mavericks under the direction of Head Coach Gus Varela will rely on standout right-handed pitchers Amberly Garza and Brittany Perez to stifle the potent batters of the Lady Cougars. Reserve freshman southpaw pitcher Marichelo Flores will also be ready if called upon.
The Lady Mavericks offense will rely on standout shortstop Ari Ruiz and standout third-baseman Ronnie Valdez to provide the firepower to score against the stingy Lady Cougars pitching corps. The Lady Mavericks also will count on standout, speedy center fielder Alyssa Lopez, standout catcher Lorena Sanchez, swift left-fielder Natalie Garcia, speedster second-baseman Cassandra Flores, slugger right-fielder Giselle Cerda, and steady first-baseman Lesly Salinas to manufacture runs against the Lady Cougars.
The Lady Mavericks finished the regular season with an overall record of 19-13 and a 6-6 mark in District 29-5A during the 2014 season. The Lady Cougars enter the Bi-District series with a 24-3 record. Once the state softball playoffs begin, the records go out the window as any team can beat another team on any given day and playoff series.
Eagle Pass softball fans are encouraged to attend the Lady Mavericks Bi-District Championship softball series and cheer the Lady Mavericks to victory over the Edinburg North Lady Cougars.
