My ever growing Eagle Pass, Texas local athletic history record book added yet another milestone chapter this past Thursday, February 21, 2019 when a rare history making feat was accomplish by three year standout Eagle Pass Lady Eagles varsity girls softball pitcher Kaitlin Galvan and Eagle Pass Eagles varsity baseball pitcher Sergio Lopez who both recorded no-hitters on the same day and ironically both of them by the identical final score of 8 to 0.
The three time all-district first team selection pitcher Kaitlin Galvan who is one of the winningest pitchers in the all-time storied history of the Eagle Pass Lady Eagles highly regarded softball program hurled her pitching gem against the San Antonio Edison Lady Golden Bears in the opening round match of the 2019 Annual San Antonio Southwest ISD Invitational Softball Tournament where she issued no walks, recorded 4 strikeouts, allowed only one runner to reach base and that was courtesy of a Lady Eagles error otherwise it would have been a perfect game as she faced only 16 batters in the 8 to 0 victory over the Lady Golden Bears.
The young Eagles right hander Sergio Lopez tossed his pitching gem against the San Antonio Stevens Falcons in the second round of pool play at the 33rd Annual Border Olympics Baseball Tournament by the final score of 8 to 0. Sergio Lopez faced a total of 21 batters in his six complete innings of work on the mound allowing one run to reach on an error and issued two walks but recorded 10 strikeouts on the night.
Special thanks go out to Eagle Pass Lady Eagles’ catcher Lorelei Morales who was pressed to handle the catching chores in place of the injured regular catcher Brooke Diaz and Eagle Pass Eagles catcher Orly Garza for their work behind the plate during this rare feat for as every current and former pitcher know very well a pitcher cannot have success without the solid work of their respective battery mate.
Eagle Pass Sports Central congratulates both Kaitlin Galvan and Sergio Lopez on your magnificent history making accomplishment of pitching a truly rare No-Hitter in your respective sport on the same day we wish each of you continued success. Way to Go Katie! Way to Go Checo!
