Alvin got things started early on taking a 3-0 lead and went on to a 7 -1 victory in game one of
the best of 3 series. It all started when Alexis Joseph lead off with a triple to left, Jessica Savage
grounded out to first. Amber Anderson singled to center bringing home Joseph for the first run of
the inning. Vanessa Eng doubled to left scoring Amber all the way from first taking a 2-0 lead.
Kelsey Nichols doubled to left leaving runners on 2nd and 3rd. The third run of the inning came
when Meghan Gomez singled in a run. The Bucs lone run came in the 6th inning
How tough is it when you face your district rival four times in one season. That’s what these two
teams had to do.
In game two it took the yellow jackets nine innings to dispose the Bucs, a 1-0 win for the yellow
jackets. It was a pitchers dual between Alvin’s Amber Anderson and Brazoswood’s Lana Jo
Hairston. On a night when offense was kept at bay until Britini Wells RBI single score Vanessa
Eng for the Alvin’s victory.
The yellow Jackets will be making their first state appearance, where they will take on Odessa at
McCombs Softball field Friday evening in Austin.
What a year for the Lady Yellow Jackets making it to Austin for a chance to win a State Title. The
Lady Yellow Jackets are very happy after finishing 4th in their district and winning the regional III
championship.
