The Lady Rattlers couldn’t get going the way they wanted to Friday night.
Pitching difficulties combined with fielding errors in key moments caused the floodgates to open on San Marcos, ultimately leading to an 11-0 run-rule loss in five innings to district-leading Buda Hays (15-5, 9-1 District 26-6A). The purple and white were able to put some runners in scoring position in their final two at-bats to try to extend the game but weren’t able to execute at the plate.
The Lady Hawks were able to get their offense in rhythm early, putting up nine runs in the first three innings. Buda Hays never looked back, continuing to extend its lead in the fourth inning before finally drawing a blank in the fifth while having shutout pitching.
