MAR 11, 2004
Eagle 3rd baseman Daniel Fabian was caught stealing 3rd in the top of the 7th inning. He created a 2-5-6-5 hot box, and in the end, it appears to have required two LBJ players to take him out just short of the bag!

MAR 11, 2004
Casey Castañeda at 2nd base for the Eagles in the bottom of the 7th inning.

MAR 11, 2004
Right hander Jason Rangel came on in relief in the bottom of the 7th. He faced four batters from the top of the Jaguar order and struck out two of them (both looking!) to close the game.

WEBMASTER'S NOTE:
As it turned out, this Thursday afternoon game with LBJ would be the only contest Akins would play in the AISD Tournament. Rain washed out the remainder of the schedule for the Eagles, who can say they were undefeated in the tournament!

MAR 11, 2004
Final score: Akins Eagles 8, LBJ Jaguars 4.
