The talent-laden Eagle Pass High School Eagles smashed the Edinburg North High School Cougars 10-1 in Game One of their best of three Regional Quarterfinals series on Friday, May 16, 2014, at Laredo Veterans Baseball Field in Laredo, Texas, gaining a 1-0 lead in the state baseball playoff series.

Eagles ace right-handed pitcher Tony Galvan hurled a gem of a game against the potent Cougar batters in earning the win.

Eagles Head Coach Reynol Mendoza is without the pitching services of standout senior right-hand pitcher Chris Perez who broke his ankle.

Game Two of the Eagles versus Edinburg North Cougars best of three series is on Saturday, May 17th, at 10:30 A.M. at Veterans Baseball Field at Laredo.

Game Three, if necessary, is scheduled for Saturday, May 17th, at 1:30 P.M. at Veterans Baseball Field in Laredo.

The Eagles will seek to sweep the Edinburg North Cougars on Saturday, May 17th, in Game Two, or, alternatively win the series in Game Three if necessary.

The winner of the Eagles and Cougars Regional Quarterfinals baseball series will play next week the winner between San Antonio O’Connor High School Panthers and Corpus Christi Carroll High School Tigers in the Regional Semifinals.

Last year, the Eagles fell to the San Antonio O’Connor Panthers in the Regional Finals 3-2 in a single game playoff in San Antonio, falling just one key hit shy of advancing to the state championship tournament for the fifth time in Eagles baseball history.
