The mighty Eagle Pass Little League Minors (10 Under) Softball All-Stars crushed the visiting Del Rio National All-Stars 28-0 in the District 35 Championship game on Friday, July 4, 2014, at the Eagle Pass Independent School District Softball Complex behind the stellar pitching of Alyssa Duran who dominated the Del Rio All-Stars throughout the whole game and an offensive display to match the fireworks of Independence Day (4th of July).

The high flying Eagle Pass All-Stars exploded like a firecracker in the first inning as each player batted three times before the third out fell in the inning, taking an insurmountable lead against the hapless Del Rio All-Stars.
Leading the fireworks display with inside the park home runs were Shania Dunn, Christabel Martinez, and Jenna Roiz while key hits included leadoff hitter Ariana Benavidez, Alyssa Duran, Mia Uriegas, Chelsea Esquivel, Isabella Garza, Elicia Kidd, Natalie Flores, Isabella Morin, Demi Camarillo, and Bianca Vielma.

The Eagle Pass All-Stars annihilated the District 35 competition going undefeated (3-0) in the tournament. Now the Eagle Pass All-Stars are advancing to the Little League Sectional Championship tournament during July 9-13, 2014 in Fredricksburg, Texas. Eagle Pass is scheduled to battle the Uvalde All-Stars on Wednesday, July 9th, at 6 P.M. to kick-off the Sectional tournament. The Little League tournaments are double-elimination.

Team Manager is Martin Duran and Assistant Coaches are Matt Uriegas and Leroy Dunn.

Little League Texas District 35 Administrator is Gerald “Gerry” McCrary of Del Rio.

The Eagle Pass Business Journal congratulates the Eagle Pass Little League Minors Softball All-Stars for claiming the District 35 Championship and wishes them the very best at the Sectional Tournament in Fredricksburg next week. Go Eagle Pass!
