The Longhorns managed a lone run in the first when Raul Esquivel reached on a base on balls, went to second on a passed ball and scored on a fielder’s choice by Memo Sauceda. Mendoza would help his own game by singling followed by a sacrifice by Isaac Gonzalez and a hit by Braulio Rodriguez. Victor Perry would also single as did Hector Montoya, then both would come into score on

Orly Garza’s hit to make the score 4-1. The Longhorns would score two more on three hits, buttery Rey would strike out the side to keep his team up 4-3.

Then the Eagles would plate two more in the second on the spikes of Gonzalez and Jacob Ruiz off of hits by Mendoza, Rodriguez and Perry.

United would answer with two more in the top of the third when Memo Sauceda drew a walk, as did Daniel Quiroz both scoring on errors and fielder’s choices Eagles 6, United 5 after three. But the Eagles would seal the deal in the fourth on runs by Gonzalez, Perry and Ruiz. Firer Player Of The Week Victor Perry tripled in this inning and Ruiz would single putting the Burnt Orange and White ahead 9-5 before Checo Lopez would give up one unearned run inthe sixth.
