CL Hawk’s Softball Start Season 4-0
Canyon Lake continued their streak to four wins at the Navarro tournament on Friday as the Hawks beat Amarillo High and John Paul II.
“We are playing together a lot more and our chemistry is very good,” Head Coach John Gallagher said. “Amarillo had good pitching and we got our runs early and just moved people with our hits and bunts.”
The Hawks are hitting .370 as a team as this season is beginning much like last year’s club did with hits and finding ways to win those tight games.
Canyon Lake also had a first when Alexis Robinson relieved Freshman pitcher Lauren Mentzer for two innings for the win and first save by a pitcher for CL since Softball started in 2008 season.
“That is always good to get a first,” Coach Gallagher chimed. “Mentzer looked good and sharp and we hope to get her some more work.”
Robinson not only pitched well but her bat came alive as she finished with a double and home run in her two games.
“Their pitcher threw a fast ball and Robinson made contact with a line drive hit over the fence,” Gallagher explained the HR. “That hit put us up and it proved to be the game winning hit.”
Canyon Lake has nine players batting over .300 while pitcher Robinson has 28 strikeouts on just 20 innings of work.
Other players are stepping up as Sophomore catcher Kat Weber is batting .500 on this young season while also catching for the first time.
“I can see the game much better and my offense is more focused,” Weber said.
Canyon Lake will continue the Navarro Tournament with a game Saturday at 10am and 4pm.
