Rattlers snake bit in 5-1 district loss to Austin Westlake

The Rattlers were snakebit against the Chaparrals Tuesday night.

San Marcos fell 5-1 to Austin Westlake to close out its district-opening series against the Chaps. A mix of missed opportunities in the batter’s box and fielding errors with runners on base led to the loss.

“They’re sad and disappointed that they lost, but they competed, they competed hard,” head coach Bryan Webb said. “(The) breaks didn’t go our way, balls didn’t fall where we wanted them and that’s baseball. Until we get them to start doing the little things right they’re going to fall against us. We’re heading in the right direction. (Westlake’s) a good team, they’re 12 and two, they’re a top 15 team and they exploited our weaknesses tonight.”
