Northeast Eagles take care of Panola Ponies

MLB

Texas (8-9) 6 – Angels (8-6) 4

What are the chances? At the National game, a fan in the center field dropped a home run ball between the seats and fence. Got mad and threw his glove. Then he gets a second chance and makes the snag. One out of two isn’t a bad day.

Northeast Texas Community College Softball made the trip to Poteau, Oklahoma, to take on Carl Albert State College in a non-conference matchup. Carl Albert would get the best of NTCC in an extra-inning affair in game one by a score of 6-5. Game 2 was another thriller with NTCC winning 4-3 with a dramatic game-ending play when Hanna Allen (Hudson HS) threw out a runner trying to tie the game on a Sacrifice fly to left field. Allen’s accurate throw to catcher Lauren Isbell (Burleson HS) would end the rally by Carl Albert for the Eagle win 4-3.

Northeast Texas Community College Baseball and the Panola Ponies finally met up on Sunday for game one of the three-game series after a few days of rainouts. NTCC took down the Ponies 15-7 in a run-ruled shortened game.
