Good pitchers allow opposing teams very little margin for error.
But errors have been the most consistant thing about the Pecos Eagles this year, and in Thursday's matchup agaist Abilene Wylie, that meant trouble. Wylie's Scott Bull allowed only three Pecos hits Thursday, in the opening round of the West Texas March Classic at Christensen Stadium, while the Eagles committed five errors that led to five unearned runs, as the Bulldogs came away with an 8-4 victory in the opening round of the tournament. The loss dropped Pecos into an 10 a.m. consolation quarterfinal game today against Colorado City, and the Eagles ran into the same problems, allowing six unearned runs in the first five innings, while managing just two hits of pitcher Abel Bonilla, as the Wolves routed the Eagles by a 12-0 final score. You can't make that many mistakes against a good team. Colorado City was beaten in their tournament opener by Fort Stockton, 14-9, but had little problem against the Eagles at Greenwood High School.
