Monday night the Second Baptist Eagles hosted the Houston Christian Mustangs in a District game.
 
The first three innings belonged to Houston Christian. The Mustangs had hot bats and were able to score two runs going into the fourth inning against the Eagles.

 In the fourth inning Second Baptist landed three quick outs holding Houston Christian to two runs. However with the Mustang's great fielding they stopped all Eagle attempts to score and Houston Christian went into the fifth inning leading 2-0.

In the fifth,  Houston Christian again worked their way around the bases with Nino Leyja playing old school pickle making it from second to third base and Paul Prestera hitting him in adding another run to the scoreboard for the Mustangs. 

The Eagles did not give up. Second Baptist loaded the bases and after two hits and  two runners batted in, the Eagles were within one run of the Mustangs.

The sixth inning remained a stalemate between the two teams with both teams getting hits but unable to convert them into runs. The score remained Houston Christian leading 3-2 entering the seventh inning.

The top of the seventh inning was a big one for the Mustangs. Leyja hit a home run followed by a Prestera hit into right field for a triple. Prestera was hit in by a pop fly that got away.

 Houston Christian held onto the lead and shut down the Eagles for the win with a final score of 5-2.

For the Eagles, the pitcher Ross Seaton had 12 strikeouts and a run for his team and O’Banion Williams was 3-4 and also had a run.

 Mustang Leyja was 2-3 with a homerun and Prestera was 3-4 in the game.

On April 3rd the Mustangs will face off against Lutheran North and on April 5th the Eagles will take on Lutheran South.
