The mighty Eagle Pass High School Eagles fell in a heartbreaker game against the San Antonio Reagan High School Rattlers 2-1 in the bottom of the seventh inning with bases loaded and one out on a long fly ball single to right field over the Eagles outfielder’s head to score the winning run for the Rattlers after the Eagles had taken a 1-0 lead in the top of the seventh inning. The Eagle Pass Eagles played their hearts out and had a great season representing Eagle Pass High School and the Eagle Pass community.

Eagles standout sophomore right hand pitcher Tony Galvan hurled a great game until the bottom of the seventh inning with one out and standout senior catcher and relief pitcher Diego Gaona relieved Galvan allowing the game winning hit. Reagan ace pitcher Troy Montemayor stifled the potent Eagles batters throughout the game to earn the victory. Reagan now advances to the State Championship Tournament next week. The Eagles came two outs shy of earning a berth to the state tournament, but it was not meant to be on this evening in Laredo, Texas.

The Eagle Pass Business Journal congratulates the Eagle Pass Eagles on their outstanding season and wishes all the seniors the best in their future endeavors.
