The Aubrey Lady Chaparrals softball team’s spectacular run to Austin ended with a 10-1 loss to the Robinson Lady Rockets in the 4-A Division II State Championship on May 30.
The Lady Rockets controlled the game from start to finish, winning the battle in the batter’s box, 10-5, and stifling the Lady Chaps offense en route to Robinson’s first softball state championship in 26 years.
“We knew they were dangerous coming in, so we knew we would have to hit and score,” Aubrey head softball coach James Ramsey said. “No matter how well it went defensively, scoring one run was not going to beat them. … We had opportunities, [but] we just couldn't come up with those timely hits, and that's big in softball.”
