The District, Bi-District, Area, and Regional Quarterfinals Champion Eagle Pass High School Lady Eagles rally against the potent San Marcos High School Lady Rattlers fell short in Game 2 of their best of three Regional Semifinals series 4-3 on Friday, May 16, 2014 at San Marcos, Texas, ending an outstanding and historic softball season unseen since 1996 in Eagle Pass, Texas. The Lady Eagles played their hearts out this season and against the San Marcos Lady Rattlers in this series.

The Lady Eagles jumped to an early 2-0 lead in the game on a towering signature home run by standout senior center fielder Monica Flores despite playing injured in the series with a sprained knee, but the Lady Rattlers answered back with a two run home run of their own to tie the game and eventually went on to win the game by a narrow score of 4-3 against a valiant and courageous Lady Eagles softball squad.

Lady Eagles standout junior left handed pitcher Krystal De La Cruz hurled another gem of a game against San Marcos Lady Rattler ace right handed pitcher Victoria Vasquez, taking the heart breaking loss for the second consecutive game of the series.

The Eagle Pass Business Journal congratulates the Eagle Pass Lady Eagles on an outstanding and historic softball season in 2014. Best wishes to the seniors on the Lady Eagles team on their future academic and athletic endeavors.
