The Eldorado Eagles played a practice game against Winters on Friday, April 26th at the Lakeview High School baseball field in San Angelo where Eldorado posted a 6-2 victory.

The Eagles got their first run in the top of the third inning after Preston Rodriguez walked to reach first base and advanced on a J.P. Galan single and a pair of walks by Edward Hernandez and Jacob Sanchez.

Hector Reyes led off the fourth inning with a single before coming home on a Hagen Porras sacrifice fly.

A four run-tirade in the top of the fifth put the game out of reach as Hernandez, Sanchez, Will Barker and Rico Martinez each crossed the plate for the Warbirds. All four of the players singled before Eldorado tallied its first out in the inning. A Reyes double drove the last of them home before the inning ended on a Galan ground out to second base.
