Pace’s softball season ends with runner-up finish at state
Lana Gonzales and her Pace teammates stood in the outfield here in Longwood late Saturday afternoon sharing long embraces. They fought back tears the best that they could as they listened to the coaches talk.
Losing a state championship game is never an easy thing to digest. Losing it when the only run scored was off a bases-loaded walk makes it hurt even more.
