CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Calallen 'Lady Cats' softball team is getting used to making appearances in state championship games.
Calallen got big days from freshman pitcher Jordyn Thibodeaux and sisters Audryna and Alaunah Almaraz in a 5-1 win over Aubrey in the 4A State Semifinal Thursday at McCombs Field in Austin.
Thibodeaux tossed a complete game on the mound, allowing just the one run in the 7th when the game was out of hand. The Almaraz's combined for all five RBI including a bases-clearing double from the freshman Adryna in a four-run third inning.
Calallen now moves on to its third title game in five years when they take on two-time defending state champion Liberty Saturday at 10 AM. Liberty defeated Calallen for the 2021 state championship.
