Eagles Blown Out Lead In Sixth Fall To Weimar Then Sealy

Eagle Lake High School baseball dropped two district games last week, losing 15-7 at Weimar and 4-2 to Sealy. The Weimar game saw a 4-0 Eagle Lake lead vanish in the sixth as wild pitching and errors sparked a seven-run seventh. Joe Berela relieved, but the rally continued. In the Sealy game Eagle Lake managed two early runs but were shut down by a strong pitching effort. Joe Berela had the lone safe hit for the Eagles. The team next travels to Columbus then hosts Sealy in a rescheduled rainout makeup game on May 6.
