The mighty Eagle Pass Little League Baseball Majors (12 and Under) All-Stars defeated nemesis Del Rio All-Stars 10-4 on Tuesday, July 2, 2019 at La Pryor Little League Baseball Park in La Pryor, Texas to win its third consecutive tournament game and punch their ticket to the Texas District 35 Championship on Friday, July 5, 2019.
The Eagle Pass All-Stars utilized dominant pitching, hitting, base running, and defense to earn the win over the stingy Del Rio All-Stars, including a solo home run by Luis Alvarado. Eagle Pass is undefeated in District 35 play and advances to the Championship Game on Friday, July 5, 2019 in La Pryor. Eagle Pass will play the winner of the elimination bracket between Del Rio, La Pryor, Crystal City, and Carrizo Springs.
The Eagle Pass Little League Baseball 12 and Under All-Stars are composed of Luis Vicente Alvarado, Hector Eduardo Cavazos, Apolonio Delgado, Anthony Garcia, Raphael Garcia, Earl Michael Herring, Luis Alexander Leos, Matthew Emmanuel Mata, Sebastian Perez, Adrian Rodriguez, Esteban Rodriguez, Joaquin Diego Torres, Isaac Manuel Valenzuela, and Jonathan Isaiah Vasquez. The Head Coach is Omar Rodriguez and Assistant Coaches are Luis Alvarado and Jorge Vasquez.
In their first game of the District 35 Tournament, Eagle Pass shut out the Carrizo Springs All-Stars by a score of 19-0 via the 15 run rule after 3 1/2 innings followed by a second victory over the pesky Crystal City All-Stars by the score of 7-1, setting up the Del Rio game on July 2nd. After defeating arch rival Del Rio 10-4 on July 2nd, Eagle Pass qualifies for the District 35 Tournament Championship. The District 35 Champion advances to the Little League Baseball Sectional Championship Tournament in San Antonio, Texas next week.
The Eagle Pass Business Journal wishes the Eagle Pass American Little League Baseball Majors All-Stars the best of luck in the Texas District 35 Championship Game and the 2019 Little League Baseball Tournament leading to the World Series in Williamsburg, Pennsylvania.
