Learning to play with the lead is the next step for the Lady Rattlers.
San Marcos (3-4) extended the lead in the bottom of the third inning during Tuesday's contest against San Antonio Cornerstone Christian (7-3) after senior catcher Courtney Matthews hit an RBI-single, bringing in her teammate, junior shortstop Kaylee Cavazos. The hit brought the Lady Rattlers’ lead to 4-1.
The team did well staying ahead until they started to fall apart mentally — mostly on the defensive side of the ball. The mental lapse began at the top of the fifth, when two miscues by the defense allowed runners to be safe instead of routine outs. The team survived the scare but the inning foreshadowed what was coming later in the game.
