The ‘Hounds came out swinging and scored their runs before the sixth. Jerry Arizpe, Jose Arizpe, Tommy Padilla, and Jacob Puente all came in for the ‘Hounds. Jacob Puente went 3-4 along with Homar Longoria.
Game two of the best-of-three series is set for Saturday at 11 am and will be played at Alice High School.

Some teams let you win the first of 2 out 3 games to get a feel of the other teams comptitiveness. In a situation like this SB must be ready they are no longer just players but captions of their postions and must command a level of play within themselves and an experiance that will take them to the next level of play.
Just got back from the game. The Hounds did an awesome job against a state top ten team. Our fans were awesome. So proud of the team!
Purple Pride! Go Hounds!
