The first contest of the Region IV‑3A Division I final series unfolded on a crisp evening in London, Texas, where the local baseball team seized a commanding 10‑2 lead over Falfurrias.
Opening Victory Sets Tone
Aiden Salinas powered the offense with two hits, two RBIs and a pair of triples, while Christian Olivares added two hits, a double and two RBIs, helping the team build an early advantage.
On the mound, Dax Williams delivered a solid start, surrendering only two runs while striking out five over four and one‑third innings, though the bullpen eventually gave way to Nathaniel Jaramillo, who absorbed the loss after allowing eight runs in four frames.
Falfurrias managed five hits, with Andre Cisneros driving in both of their runs, but the margin proved too large to overcome. The series now shifts to Game 2, scheduled for 5 p.m. on Friday, May 22 at Steve Castro Field in Robstown, Texas, where a win could force a decisive third match.
If a third game becomes necessary, it will follow immediately after Game 2, setting the stage for a potential showdown that could determine the regional champion.
