Lady Eagles lose series to Forsan
 Spring had sprung and summer was supposed to be on its way as the heavily favored Lady Eagles softball team met the Forsan Lady Buffs last week in a three-game series to decide the Area Championship. But, the weather turned cold and so did the Lady Eagles high-powered offense.
Forsan took the first game 10-3 as a blustery cold front chilled the spectators and Eldorado’s bats.
The Lady Eagles took a 2-0 lead last Thursday evening in the first inning of the first game but fell behind 3-2 in the third inning. The Lady Buffs extended their lead by three runs before Taylor Curtis crossed the plate with Eldorado’s second run in the fifth inning. Forsan plated four more runs at the end of the game as they kept the pressure up and refused to let the Lady Eagles back in the game.
Eldorado coaches and fans expected warmer weather on Saturday to usher in a return to the Lady Eagles offensive dominance. Those expectations were dashed early as the Lady Buffs grabbed a 7-1 lead after three innings of play.
The second game was not without its controversy as Miranda Arispe appeared to have hit a single to advance a base runner but the umpire called her out at first despite the fact that she had clearly beaten out the throw (see photo above).
The Lady Eagles rallied for two more runs in the fourth stanza as Kasey Gonzalez and Kiarra Trevino crossed the plate. But, Forsan answered with an eight-run deluge in the fifth to claim the 15-3 mercy rule win.
The loss ended the season for the Lady Eagles who had climbed to #9 in the statewide polls and advanced the Lady Buffs to play Albany in the Regional quarterfinal game.

Eldorado will be the home team in the second game. A third game, if necessary, will begin 30 minutes after the completion of the second game.
The Eldorado Eagles played a practice game against Winters on Friday, April 26th at the Lakeview High School baseball field in San Angelo where Eldorado posted a 6-2 victory.
The Eagles got their first run in the top of the third inning after Preston Rodriguez walked to reach first base and advanced on a J.P. Galan single and a pair of walks by Edward Hernandez and Jacob Sanchez.
Hector Reyes led off the fourth inning with a single before coming home on a Hagen Porras sacrifice fly.
A four run-tirade in the top of the fifth put the game out of reach as Hernandez, Sanchez, Will Barker and Rico Martinez each crossed the plate for the Warbirds. All four of the players singled before Eldorado tallied its first out in the inning. A Reyes double drove the last of them home before the inning ended on a Galan ground out to second base.
