Lady Tigers drop 1-0 heartbreaker to Sweeny

Wharton's Jael Ramirez winds up to throw a pitch in a recent District 24-3A game.

SWEENY - Sweeny's Candice Carter stepped on home plate in the bottom of the seventh inning for a 1-0 win over Wharton in Friday night's District 24- 3A contest.

It was pitching duel for six innings until Wharton's Jael Ramirez ran into a tough time in the final frame.

"It was a very tight game and both teams played well," said Wharton coach Shauna Eller.

Wharton had its chances. The Lady Tigers threatened in the second inning when Heather Reynolds reached on a fielding error and made it to second when Mel'isa Phynon walked. But Sweeny's pitcher got out of the jam.
