The Archer City Wildcats dropped both games against the visiting Petrolia Pirates on Tuesday, March 26. Despite a close matchup in the first game, the second game didn’t fare as well for Archer City, as the Pirates exploded in the fourth inning with 11 runs, eventually securing the series sweep.

The Eagles’ coaching staff picked a helluva time for senior pitcher Grant Cox to make his debut on the bump. The Seward College pledge was brought into the game with Holliday (13-5) nursing a 4-2 lead on Iowa Park with two outs in the top of the seventh with the bases loaded.

The Holliday Lady Eagles collected two final wins on its dirt softball field last week, putting a bow on a special place for so many classes of Lady Eagles. “It makes you think about all the players and practices that have been played out here,” Holliday head coach Billy Arbogast said.

The Holliday-Jacksboro series the last few years has turned out some great contests. Tuesday night’s matchup was no exception.
