CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas \u2014 #2 Santa Gertrudis Academy was sent home earlier than expected last season, something they haven’t forgotten despite being almost a full year later.<\/p>\n

“I would really want to beat them this year,” said senior catcher K’Lee Bazan. “I think this year our chemistry is way better and it definitely puts some like fire in us and hopefully we get through it.<\/p>\n
“We really want to set the tone with this round and make it through to state again,” said senior pitcher D’Andra Fernandez.<\/p>\n
