Marble Falls’ first-year head coach B.J. Brown said Saturday he’s pleased with the early progress of the girls’ softball team.
They went 2-3 in the Liberty Hill tournament over the weekend. They were competitive and showed a lot of resiliency.
On Saturday in their matchup with unbeaten Abilene, the Lady Stangs battled to the end in a 5-4 loss. Abilene won the game on a reversal of an umpires call.
In the sixth inning, Sabrina Tovar hit a shot down the left field line for a sacrifice to score teammate Taylor Dixon.
After originally scoring the run to tie the game, the umpires overturned the call and called Dixon out for leaving third base too soon.
