Fort Stockton’s success against district opponents continued on Tuesday as the Panthers took an early lead and never looked back in their 10-5 victory over Monahans.

Daren Ureste shifted the tide in the early stages of Tuesday’s homestand, hitting an inside-the-park home run in the second inning. The at-bat turned a 2-1 deficit into a 4-2 lead for his team’s during Tuesday’s homestand against Monahans.

Errors have proven costly for the Fort Stockton softball team this season and that was the case once again on Tuesday in a rematch with Monahans at home.

Fort Stockton committed eight errors on defense – nearly twice their season average (4.2) – in their 21-7 loss.

Fort Stockton softball showed an improvement from their first showing against the Lady Loboes as the Prowlers fell to Monahans in their first meeting 26-1 on March 16.
