KEVIN NARRO | Staff Writer

In District 32-6A, it will take the final day of the regular season to decide a champion.

One of those teams in the mix for the crown is San Benito, which took care of business with a 15-0 win in three innings against Brownsville Rivera on Tuesday.

San Benito used a four-run first inning, followed by a 10-run second inning.

The win puts the Lady ’Hounds in a position to win the district title outright tonight when they travel to Los Fresnos tonight at 6:30 p.m.

A San Benito loss and a Harlingen South win would then put both teams in a tie and wind up as co-champions.

Los Fresnos is currently the No. 3 seed, while Brownsville Hanna is locked in as the No. 4 seed.

LADY BOBCATS CHAMPS AGAIN

Rio Hondo rebounded with a 18-3 win over Progreso in three innings on Monday. Savanna Gonzalez led the offense with four hits, Kelsey Pizarro collected three hits and Domo De Jesus finished with two hits.

Port Isabel lost to Zapata 2-0 and settles the top three teams in the standings. With the Rio Hondo win and Port Isabel loss, the Lady ’Cats officially claimed their sixth straight district title.

Zapata will be the No. 2 seed and Port Isabel will be locked in as the No. 3 seed.

Meanwhile, Raymondville and La Feria both won Tuesday night and remain tied for the final playoff spot.

La Feria earned a 17-2 win over Grulla, while Raymondville was fueled by a pair of grand slams from Julissa Guerrero and Rachel Muniz as the Lady Bearkats cruised to a 20-7 win over Hidalgo.

La Feria travels to Rio Hondo, while Raymondville meets Zapata.

La Feria can clinch a playoff spot with a win and Raymondville loss. Raymondville meanwhile can secure a playoff spot with a win and La Feria loss.

Both games are slated for 7 p.m. tonight.

If both teams win or lose, it will result in a play-in game that will take place sometime next week.

THREE-PEAT

The third inning was the big inning, with BVM plating seven runs.
