The District 32-6A season is heading into extra innings.
Results from the final day of the district season yielded a three-way tie between Brownsville Veterans Memorial, Hanna and Harlingen High.

After Cassie Abrego hit a game-tying home run during the sixth inning, the Lady Eagles scored five runs during an extra-inning battle and picked up a road win to save their season.
The three-team tie will be resolved via a pair of games.
First, Hanna will play host to Harlingen High at 7 p.m. Monday. The winner will advance to play Brownsville Veterans in a game that will decide which squad will be the district’s final representative in the postseason
If Hanna defeats Harlingen High, the Lady Eagles will play host to Brownsville Veterans at 7 p.m. Tuesday. If Harlingen High wins, it will face the Lady Chargers at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Brownsville.
