Del Rio Rams Edge O'Connor Panthers 5-3 at North East Sports Park

Del Rio High School's varsity baseball team beat the O'Connor Panthers 5-3 at North East Sports Park on Friday, Feb. 27, 2026, extending the Rams' winning streak to three and moving Del Rio to 7-3 on the season, according to a MaxPreps recap. The location is also reported as @ O'Connor on MaxPreps, while an original game summary lists North East Sports Park as the venue.

MaxPreps singled out Nate Mojica for Del Rio, saying, "Nate Mojica was excellent, going a perfect 2-for-2 with one run and one RBI." The recap also noted the Rams "hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts," a stat that would underline Del Rio's recent offensive discipline.

On O'Connor's side, the MaxPreps writeup said, "On O'Connor's side, they saw five different players step up and record at least one hit." Marcus Morales was identified by name: "One of them was Marcus Morales, who went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases and one run." MaxPreps listed O'Connor's season record at 3-5-1 and reported that the Panthers have "lost three of their last four matchups."

The MaxPreps results table places Del Rio's three most recent wins as 02/21/26 at Dobie, 6-2; 02/26/26 at Wagner, 8-0; and 02/27/26 at O'Connor, 5-3. MaxPreps summarized the stretch with the line, "Del Rio extended their winning streak to three on Friday, bumping them up to 7-3." The recap also framed the result against last season, writing, "While the Rams didn't have the best season last year (they finished 4-21), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past."

The MaxPreps text contains an internal inconsistency on strikeouts: one sentence says Del Rio "finished the game with only two strikeouts," while another states, "The team has now struck out at least four batters in four consecutive contests." Those two lines conflict as written; the official box score and pitching lines for the Feb. 27 game will clarify whether the two-strikeout figure or the four-strikeout streak reference is correct. Likewise, venue affiliation requires confirmation because the original summary names North East Sports Park while MaxPreps lists the game as an away contest at O'Connor.

Looking ahead, MaxPreps lists Del Rio as scheduled to "face off against Churchill at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday," and O'Connor as set to "square off against Sotomayor at 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday." If the Rams win at Churchill, the stretch of three straight victories would become four and further distance Del Rio from the 4-21 finish recorded in 2025.
