Southwest Splits Doubleheader with Houston-Victoria, Shows Fight in Both Games

Seminole, TX — The Southwest Lady Mustangs displayed resilience and firepower during Friday's doubleheader against Houston-Victoria, dropping the opener 5–3 but bouncing back for a thrilling 4–3 victory in game two. The win marks Southwest's first conference victory of the season.

Game 1 Recap:

Southwest took the early lead in the first inning thanks to a two-out RBI single by L. Stouder, driving home K. Raulston, who doubled to extend the inning. The Mustangs regained the lead briefly in the third on a sacrifice fly by Y. Rodriduez, scoring M. Andres after a leadoff triple.

However, Houston-Victoria responded with a burst of offense, plating two runs in both the fourth and fifth innings. A. Snedeker led the charge for the Jaguars, collecting two hits including a solo home run in the fifth. F. Hoover added a triple and sacrifice fly, providing key insurance runs.

Southwest's D. Garces made things interesting in the bottom of the seventh with a pinch-hit solo homer, but it wasn't enough to close the gap. Despite a solid start from A. Belen, who struck out six, the Mustangs fell 5–3.

Southwest cut the deficit to 2–1 in the bottom of the first with another RBI from L. Stouder, capitalizing on a single by A. Nettles and an error.

Southwest tied it in the fourth, thanks to a clutch pinch-hit RBI single by H. Hernandez, scoring L. Stouder. Then came the big blow: with a runner on and two outs in the fifth, Stouder smashed a two-run homer to left, giving Southwest a 4–3 lead they wouldn't relinquish.
