The mighty Eagle Pass High School Lady Eagles Softball Team were defeated by the San Benito High School Lady Hounds in Game 1 of the Regional Quarter-Finals Championship best of three series on Friday, May 11, 2018 at St. Mary’s University Softball Stadium in San Antonio, Texas, announced Head Coach Oscar Ruiz.

The Lady Eagles committed five unforced errors in the game that cost them dearly and eventual loss of Game 1 against the San Benito Lady Hounds, while the Lady Hounds pitcher muzzled the Lady Eagles offensive batters by limiting them to only three base hits in seven innings.  The Lady Hounds pounded starting pitcher Kaitlin Galvan, Leenetter Krezdorn, and Alyssa Galvan for ten base hits to score a total of 10 runs versus the Lady Eagles.

The highlight of the game for the Lady Eagles was a two run blast over the left center field fence by standout Co-Captain and Short-Stop Heather Ruiz in the top of the fifth inning to narrow the overall score 5-3 at that moment. The Lady Hounds held on defensively to earn the win and take a 1-0 best of three series lead.

Game 2 of the Regional Quarter-Finals Championship game is on Saturday, May 12th, at 3 P.M. at St. Mary’s University Softball Field, and, if necessary, Game 3 will commence 30 minutes following Game 2. 

All Eagle Pass loyal softball fans are encouraged to attend Game 2 in San Antonio to support and cheer the Lady Eagles to victory and force a decisive Game 3 on Saturday, May 12th, at San Antono, Texas. Go Lady Eagles!
