[Eoscstudents] SOFTBALL RESULTS FROM LAST TUESDAY NIGHT AT PARIS, TEXAS:

[Andy Mace]

Hello:

Eastern Softball dropped a couple of unusual games, played in rain, mud, 
and high winds last Tuesday night at Paris, Texas:

First game: Paris, Texas 10  Eastern 1.   Note: This game was 0-0 in the 
6th. inning!!!!!!
Paris has the best team in their school history in my opinion. They were 
ahead of Wallace, Alabama(LAST YEARS NJCAA NATIONAL CHAMPIONS WITH 
SEVERAL STARTERS BACK) 1-0 with two outs in the bottom of the seventh at 
Cowtown in the semi-final winner's bracket game on Feb. 14th.  They lost 
3-1 on long home run by Wallace's big hitter.
25-35 mph winds blowing straight out caused some unusual things to 
happen in these Tuesday games played in the Paris Festival.
Second game: Connors 19  Eastern 11.   Note: Eastern was ahead 10-2 with 
two outs in the fifth, only one out away from run-ruling Connors 
again(we beat them 9-1 at Cowtown the previous weekend) and Connors 
hitters came alive.
We must have re-engerized Connors softball as they beat Murray at Murray 
this Thursday, 10-0 and 9-1.  Connors had been struggling this spring. 
Did not do well at Cowtown.

NOTE: Due to the Class B High School Regional Basketball Tournament and 
cold winds and wet grounds we moved the NE TEXAS softball games at 
Eastern from Saturday the 21st. of Feb. to Sunday the 22nd. of Feb.  The 
doubleheader will start at 1pm.  This will be Eastern's home opener in 
softball.
