AUSTIN — With nerves frayed by a combination of state championship pressure and a raucous crowd from Crawford, the Stamford Lady Bulldogs were well on their way to losing Wednesday’s Class 2A title game at McCombs Field, trailing 3-1 in the fifth inning.

But a little break in the form of a lightning delay allowed Stamford to collect itself. And after Crawford pushed its lead to 4-1 in the bottom of the frame, the Lady Bulldogs rallied with a four-run sixth en route to a 5-4 win.
