sing emotion as the fuel to get the ride going, San Marcos is looking to make a run this season.
Remembering how the season ended last year for the purple and white, it stuck with the players who returned to the team this year. The Rattlers had just defeated Austin Akins 5-0 in the last home game of district play in 2021 but they needed school rival Buda Hays to lose its final game to force a tie in record for fourth in District 26-6A. It was all smiles after the win until the news was shared with the team that they wouldn’t be making a trip to the postseason. Emotions were on full display as players hugged, cried and just enjoyed their final few moments with the seniors who’d played their last game of high school baseball.
“Last season was emotional for us, the way it ended, and it’s fueling us for this year,” junior catcher Sunray Estrada said. “Hopefully we can use that to go far this year.”
