Legacy slips past Lake Ridge in battle of top 3-6A teams
Cade Connor tossed a complete game 2-hitter as Mansfield Legacy downed Mansfield Lake Ridge in a battle of top contenders in District 3-6A on Tuesday at Legacy High School.
Legacy (21-7 overall, 8-3 district) got a 1-out single from Ethan Weaver to leadoff the bottom of the seventh inning in a 1-1 tie. Weaver stole second and came home on a walk-off, lined single to center by Lawson Hicks. Connor allowed 1 unearned run while striking out 7 and walking 1.
Jeremiah Thomas had both hits, including a double, for Lake Ridge (17-8-2, 7-2). Preston Willick reached on a 1-out error in the third and scored on another error by the Broncos to give the Eagles a 1-0 lead.
Grant Petersen tied the game in the fourth on a 2-out triple that preceded an RBI single by Eli Dugan.
Lamar shuts out Bowie in key 8-6A tilt
Colton Quesada hit a 2-run home run in the first inning and made it hold up on the mound as the Vikings downed Arlington Bowie 2-0 in an important District 8-6A contest on Tuesday at Lamar High School.
With 2 out in the bottom of the first, Brock Jackson was hit by a pitch for Lamar (10-16-1 overall, 7-4 district). Preston White came on to run for Jackson, but got to jog around the bases as Quesada hit the first pitch he saw over the left field wall for a 2-0 lead.
Quesada, who went 2 for 3 at the plate with the homer and a double, was just as hot on the mound tossing 7 innnings of 3-hit ball while striking out 11 and walking just 1.
Andrew Vega pitched well for Bowie (9-16, 5-6) allowing just 3 hits in 6 innings of work with 5 strikeouts and 2 walks.
Brock edges Mineral Wells to stay atop 6-4A
Brock remained undefeated in District 6-4A play with a 3-1 victory over Mineral Wells on Monday at Brock High School.
Brock (20-3 overall, 8-0 district) scored twice in the bottom of the second when Weston Pickard led off with a triple and scored on a single by Colton Ripple. Hunter Martin lined a single to right to move Ripple to third where he came home on a sacrifice fly by Canon Lightfoot.
A leadoff walk in the sixth by Martin, an infield single by Lightfoot and a sacrifice by Braxon Roberts moved Martin to third where Evan O’Connor drove him home with a sac fly to right. Pickard started on the mound for the Eagles, scattering 4 hits and allowing 1 earned run in 4 1/3 innings of work.
Austin Gallogly tossed the final 2 2/3 no-hit, no-run innings for Brock striking out 6. Newt Schroeder drove in the only run for Mineral Wells (14-9-2, 3-4) on a ground out in the fourth inning that plated Brogan Sims who had led off the inning with a single.
Kennedale completes sweep of Godley
Nathan Arber and Dilon Sandoval drove in 3 runs each as Kennedale finished a sweep of Godley 9-5 in a key District 12-4A contest on Monday at Godley High School.
Kennedale (17-7 overall, 6-4 district) escaped with a 9-8 win in 8 innings on Friday over Godley (16-8, 5-5) to help bolster their chances for a playoff berth. Godley is still very much in the hunt for a post season berth as well.
Arber’s bases-loaded double to right gave Kennedale a 3-0 lead in the top of the first, but Godley answered with 3 of its own in the bottom of the inning highlighted by a pair of sacrifice flies by Tabor Anderson and Brison Loera.
Sandoval doubled in a run in the fourth and drove in 2 with another double in the sixth.
