When two senators recently got into a spat over whether the Boston Marathon bombings were being politicized, the news was everywhere within minutes. Reams of commentary quickly followed.

SAN ANTONIO — The term “emotional roller coaster” doesn’t even begin to describe the thrilling 13-12, nine-inning victory over the San Antonio-O’Connor Lady Panthers that kept the San Marcos Lady Rattler’s season alive.

The San Marcos jumped out to an early 6-1 lead in the first inning, but O’Connor battled back and took their first lead of the game in the eighth inning.

After the Lady Rattlers tied it up in the eighth to force another extra inning, the Lady Panthers scored two runs to leave SHMS hopes — and their season — hanging in the balance.
