LA VERNIA — After playing a game last Wednesday due to inclement weather on Tuesday, the Gonzales Lady Apaches (3-4) traveled to La Vernia for a scheduled District 27-4A game against the Lady Bears (4-2). The Lady Apaches would lose in a tight game, 8-6, dropping back down to fourth place in the district behind Wimberley (5-1), La Vernia (4-2) and Navarro (4-3).

After taking an early two-run lead, La Vernia scored six in the bottom of the second and third innings, forcing the Lady Apaches to play from behind throughout the rest of the game. Down 8-4, Gonzales scored two in the seventh to cut the lead to two, but ultimately lost the game 8-6.
