TAKING THE PITCH
Coming up this Saturday, September 25th, the St. Mary's Rattlers will be taking off to Denton, Texas to face the Pioneers of Texas Woman's University. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. Both teams beat their first Lone Star Conference opponents earlier this week, making this match one to watch.
