Despite the Hurricanes best efforts, the Rattlers slammed the door on a Klein Cain comeback and won the second set 25-14 to capture their first win of the season.
San Marcos moved to the second round of pool play and placed in a three team group with the A&M Consolidated Tigers and the Katy Mayde Creek Rams.
The Rattlers opened up pool play with the Rams, and San Marcos won the first set 25-17. The Rattlers once again did not allow their opponents to make a comeback and defeated the Rams once more at 25-18.
