SAN ANGELO, TX — The San Angelo Central Lady Cats Softball team hosted the Odessa Permian Lady Panthers for a District 2-6A matchup on Tuesday night, April 18, at the Central Softball Complex at 6:30 p.m. The Lady Cats fell behind early and battled back throughout the game but ultimately fell 9-1.
After a scoreless first inning, the Lady Panthers fired their bats up in the top of the second. The Lady Cats played defense well when the ball came into their vicinity, but Permian did a brilliant job at hitting the ball into the areas the Lady Cats could not reach. With two outs on the board, Permian loaded the bases. Unfortunately for Central, a walk put the Lady Panthers up 1-0 before two singles into shallow left field increased that advantage to 3-0.
