The Eagle Pass Lady Eagles varsity softball team who uncharacteristically were coming of a poor showing at the Southwest Tournament this past weekend barely had any time whatsoever to regroup and reload as they returned to the diamond on Monday, March2, 2020 when they hosted their longtime District 29-6A foe the always tough Laredo United Lady Longhorns in a 7:00 PM district opener at the Eagle Pass ISD Student Activity Center softball field.

The home standing Lady Eagles supported by their Loyal Legion of faithful supporters in attendance, broke into the scoring column first with a lone run in the bottom of the second with Kayna Perez reaching on a base on balls, Cristabel Martinez lifted a sacrifice fly to right field to advance Karyna Perez over to second, Karyna then respectfully stole third and home totally the first run of this vital game.

In the bottom of the fourth the Lady Eagles extended their lead with a pair of runs with Natalie Flores stroking a single Karyna Perez laid down a sacrifice bunt to advance Natalie Flores over to second, Cristabel Martinez belted an RBI double to drive in Natalie Flores, Bianca Vielma reached on a fielder’s choice and promptly stole second. Iliana Luna reached on n error enabling Bianca Vielma to score on the play giving the Lady Eagles a 3 to 0 lead over the Lady Longhorns.

The perennially tough and playoff bound Lady Longhorns countered with a three-run output in the top of the fifth to knot up the game at three runs apiece courtesy of a pair of Lady Longhorns hits coupled with a pair of Lady Eagles errors.

In the home half of the sixth the Lady Eagles broke the three all tie with a lone run with Laylynne Ruiz leading off the frame with a single, with one out Cristabel Martinez came through with a RBI single to drive in pinch runner Leslie Gonzalez with what proved to be the game winning run as the Lady Eagles took the hard fought victory by the final score of 4 to 3over the Laredo United Lady Longhorns.
