   With the win the Javelinas finished their opening weekend with a 3-2 record.

   Sophomore Courtney Rigamonti (Victoria St. Joseph's) evened her record at 2-2 by pitching a complete game eight-hitter.  She allowed only three runs despite the Javelina defense making for errors.

   Ariel Lichtenberger (Alice) singled to drive in a run in the third, but Delta State led 3-1 heading into the top of the fourth.

   Shaun Bryan, who finished the three-day tournament with a team-leading .400 average, doubled to start the fourth and was driven on a single by Kristin Schumann (Corpus Christi Carroll).  Ma-Lia Guerra (Falfurrias) and Jessika Cantu (Tuloso-Midway) both singled to load the bases.  Schumann and Guerra then scored on an error and the fourth run came on a run-scoring single by Lichtenberger.

   "It was a good start for us," said Javelina head coach Blake Miller.  "The biggest thing was that from game one to game five we were a different team.  We made progress every game.  We are scrappy and we play hard.  I can't be more proud of that.  No matter what, we are going to play hard."

   The Javelinas open the home season Wednesday night against Texas A&M-International.
