Euless Trinity baseball trailed Midland Legacy 4-3 in the bottom of the seventh in Game 1 of the Class 6A Division I area round Thursday when Rylan Alaniz stepped up to the plate.<\/p>\n

The crowd chanted \u201cHome run! Home run!\u201d as if fans knew Alaniz had the power to change everything with one swing, and that\u2019s just what he did. Alaniz hit a walk-off home run and flipped his bat as the crowd at Brownwood High School erupted.<\/p>\n

His teammates, seemingly stunned by the magnitude of the moment, swarmed him at home plate and dumped Gatorade on Alaniz in celebration of the 5-4 victory.<\/p>\n

Game 2 is slated for 7 p.m. Friday at Brownwood. If necessary, Game 3 will be played at 10 a.m. Saturday at Brownwood.<\/p>\n

Euless Trinity (22-11-4) has had a strong season and posted a 12-4 record in District 4-6A, one of the most competitive groups in Texas. The Trojans finished second in district behind Keller, a Class 6A state championship front-runner.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been quite the turnaround for Trinity. The Trojans finished 14-14-2 overall and 2-11 in District 4-6A in 2025 and hadn\u2019t posted a winning district record since the 2019 season.<\/p>\n

Alaniz, who was named the 2025 District 4-6A MVP with a .450 average as a junior, is a Texas State pledge.<\/p>\n
