The Eagle Pass Lady Eagles varsity girls’ softball team hit the road on Tuesday, February 20, 2018 for a trip to New Braunfels, Texas to tangle with the always tough New Braunfels Canyon Lady Cougars in a 6:00 PM non-district softball game.

The visiting Lady Eagles took the early lead in this game with a lone run in the top of the first but the lead did not last long as the home standing Lady Cougars countered with a huge five run production in the bottom of the first capitalizing on a few costly Lady Eagles errors and highlighted by their first of three homeruns in this contest.

The Lady Cougars launched a pair of solo homeruns in the bottom of the fifth to take a 7to1 lead in this game and then tacked on two more runs in the bottom of the sixth to extend their lead to 9 to 1 over the Lady Eagles.

The valiant Lady Eagles answered in the top of the seventh with a three run out put with Leslie Martinez leading off the frame with a single, standout catcher Brooke Diaz who continues to blister the ball game after game followed with her second base hit of the game, Heather Ruiz drove both runners in with a triple, Lorelei Morales who has also swung a hot bat followed with a RBI single to bring home Heather Ruiz but that would prove to be all the damage they would muster in this game as the Lady Eagles fell by the final score of 9 to 4.
