Fastball - Tuesday baseball: Lake Ridge edges Weatherford, more, plus area scores
Welcome to the high school baseball edition of the Fastball, a Star-Telegram series highlighting Fort Worth-area teams. See coverage and results.
Lake Ridge goes extras to beat Weatherford
Mansfield Lake Ridge tied it with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning and then scored on a walk-off error in the eighth to beat Weatherford 2-1 in a District 3-6A game on Tuesday night at Lake Ridge High School. Weatherford (17-9 overall, 5-2 district) scored its only run of the game in the top of the fifth when Brayden Lara led off with a walk, went to second on a ground out, then scored on an rbi single from Logan Chaix.
Kangaroo starting pitcher Cutter Kennedy was working on a 2-hit shutout into the seventh against the district-leading Eagles, but gave up a lead-off double to Ivan Vargas. With one out, Jeremiah Thomas hit a hard grounder to first that resulted in a Weatherford error, scoring courtesy runner Calum Jones that tied the game at 1-1. Lake Ridge (16-7-2, 6-1) walked it off in the bottom of the eighth when Jayde Austin turned a fly ball to left into a Little League home run. Austin led off the inning with a fly to left field that was misplayed by Weatherford into a two-base error. Another error by the pitch on the play allowed Austin to come around to score to end the game.
Joshua takes down Centennial
Tre Everett had a triple and 3 runs batted in to lead Joshua past Burleson Centennial 6-4 in a District 8-5A contest on Tuesday night at Joshua High School. Joshua (17-6-1 overall, 8-1 district) pulls into a second place tie with the Spartans in 8-5A while handing Centennial (15-8, 8-1) its first district loss. Everett singled in Kallin Whisenant to give Joshua a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning and swatted a 2-run triple in the sixth that gave the Owls a 5-4 lead.
Everett scored 1 batter later on a fielder’s choice by Nathaniel Chittum. The Owls added 2 runs in the third on an RBI triple from Alek Aguirre and an RBI single by Hunter Strebeck. All 9 batters came up in the Centennial fourth inning as the Spartans tied the game 3-3. Centennial loaded the bases with 2 singles and an error before the Owls got the next 2 batters to strike out. A wild pitch pulled Centennial within 3-1 and then back-to-back RBI walks tied the game. Fischer Stalberger’s lead-off home run in the sixth gave the Spartans a 4-3 lead.
