San Marcos holds off Austin High for 3-2 victory at home

One run can be the difference in San Marcos’ playoff hopes. 

Last year, San Marcos remembered the feeling after the last game of the season against Austin Akins that they would not partake in the 2021 playoffs. After a 5-0 win, it’s usually smiles and joy, but for the purple and white, it was frowns and tears. In that season, the Rattlers had three games decided by one run. In all three, they lost.

This season they have already played three games which have been decided by the same margin — this time, they’ve won all three. Tuesday night’s matchup between San Marcos and Austin High was one of those one-run games and the hosting Rattlers pulled out a 3-2 win — their third consecutive district win by one run.
