Tres Barrera's walk-off base hit with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning catapulted the Texas Longhorns to one win away from a berth in the Big XII Championship, what makes this feat all the more amazing is that it came just after the Baylor Bears' Mitch Price hit a three-run homer to tie the game in the top of the ninth.
Tres' teammates absolutely mobbed him when he reached home plate, "I've been in that situation a lot this year. I've been up with the bases loaded against West Virginia to win the game and wasn't successful. Those things stick in your head when you come up. I came up this time telling myself that I've been here before and I'm going to do it right here. If you stay positive, good things will happen."
"Tres was really focused behind the plate. He called most of the game himself and for Ty (Culbreth, the 'Horns' pitcher), they've worked together a lot over the last couple years, stated Head Coach Augie Garrido. About the walk off hit he added, "Then he took a change up and lined for a base hit, the game-winner. A very exciting game."
Garrido called time out in order to talk to Barrera, "Because he swung through a change up and he swung for a home run. He's a very powerful person by personality and by body type. When you have adrenaline rushing like that and your excited and the whole team is relying on you. He knows and feels that."
Kianna Cisneros and Alex Rodriguez, two former Eagle Pass Lady Eagles now at St. Mary's University, will be competing today at the Division II NCAA World Series after winning their Super-Regional last week which included a home run by Rattler catcher Rodriguez who came up one game short last year from reaching the NCAA's ultimate prize.

The Eagle Pass Lady Eagles defeated Edinburgh North 6-0 and 3-0 to advance to the third round of the 2015 State Playoffs behind some outstanding defense, clutch hitting and the stellar pitching of Crystal De La Cruz.
"Overall it was a great defensive battle," said Coach Coca Ruiz, "Our pitching was key as Crystal had an awesome performance allowing only two hits over the course of two games and for a good hitting team, we always say 'Good pitching always stops good hitting.'"
Ruiz added that Melanie Mendoza came through with a 3 for 4 performance at the plate in Game 2, while Dariela Velasquez was 2 for 4 with 2 RBI's and one run scored,"Overall our key players stepped it up and our younger players are taking it all in." Sairah Gonzalez was also 2 for 4 with a run in Game 1.
He expects the same type of defensive battle from this Edinburgh team who is coming into this series with an overall record of 23-6, 10-2 in district play averaging 6.7 runs and 8.9 hits per game hitting .335 with a .423 on base percentage.
The Eagles are coming into the series at 23-9, 10-0 in district play averaging 6.3 runs and 9.5 hits per game hitting .349 with a .443 on base percentage.
If the numbers don't lie, we should be in for a dandy of a series which will be played Friday and Saturday, weather permitting in San Antonio at the Northeast ISD Softball Complex.
