In Wylie’s 11-4 victory over Temple in Game 1 of the area round, she hit two home runs and drove in three runs. Alewine also recorded a three-run home run in the Pirates 12-3 rout of Rockwall-Heath in Game 3 of the bi-district round of the postseason.
Santiago, a Texas A&M-Corpus Christi signee, was named the offensive player of District 9-6A after she helped to lead the Pirates to a co-district championship and appearance in the third round of the playoffs.
