The never say die Eagle Pass High School Lady Eagles with their backs against the wall after falling in Game One crushed the Edinburg North High School Lady Cougars 15-0 via the 10 run rule after five innings in Game Two of their best of three series for the Regional Quarterfinals softball championship at the Mary Villarreal Softball Field in the San Antonio Independent School District Spring Sports Complex in San Antonio, Texas, on Saturday, May 10, 2014, tying the series at 1-1 each and forcing a pivotal winner take all Game Three -30 minutes after Game Two.

The Lady Eagles potent batters saw enough of Lady Cougar ace pitcher Jacqueline Longoria yesterday that they made adjustments to her pitches and exploded offensively with scoring 15 unanswered runs in Game Two on May 10th, including a home run by standout senior right fielder Vivian Ramirez.

Lady Eagles standout lefty hurler Krystal De La Cruz regrouped after yesterday’s Game One loss to the Lady Cougars and pitched a brilliant shut out in Game Two while the Lady Eagles defense played solidly in contributing to the Game Two victory.

The Lady Eagles will now play the Lady Cougars in a decisive Game Three for all the marbles of the Regional Quarterfinals softball championship and the right to advance to the Sweet 16 (Regional Semi-finals) next week should they prevail.

The winner between the Lady Eagles and Lady Cougars will play the winner between Corpus Christi Carroll Lady Tigers and San Marcos Lady Rattlers next week in the Regional Semi-finals, also known as the Sweet 16.

The Lady Eagles will go with their workhorse pitcher Krystal De La Cruz in Game Three attempting to muzzle the potent Lady Cougars hitters in Game Three as she did the game before.

Go Lady Eagles! Beat the Edinburg North Lady Cougars!
