Canyon Lake’s Baseball shook off the cobwebs as their last 6 games the Lake had been treading water and needed to dry off with a win to get back on track with district season just around the corner.

                          Let’s Go Hawks!!

The Hawks had a 2-3-1 record through this part of their schedule and a contest against another quality opponent needed a complete win which this, 6-0 victory accomplished.

PITCHING: Carter Williams (4-0) pitched another gem allowing one hit while striking out 10 Apache’s. A sparkling 0.26 earned run average with only 7 hits in William’s last 27 innings of work.

FIELDING: One miscue at the end of this game which did not allow an earned run for a clean ending. Of CL’s 34 runs allowed only 19 have been earned.

HITTING: Twelve hits being placed into Left-Center-Right Field giving Antonian’s defense plenty of action. Don’t forget that, ‘couldn’t have been placed at a better place,’  bunt (Gram Simpson) and power coming off the bat of Williams with two screamers that had a triple that led to the only run that would be needed in this conquest that other screamer finished as a double.

It was that Williams triple in the bottom of the 3rd frame that scored Hayes Holladay from first base and with a one out Ryder Hopper single scoring that 2nd run.

                      Way to Go Lake!!

Canyon Lake was not finished tho… with 2 outs a Simpson single set up a first and third steal of home plate for Hopper before that final out on the base paths when Simpson was caught in a rundown and the Hawk’s had a, 3-0 lead.

The top of the 4th inning Antonian’s only hit was stranded when Williams finished this inning striking out the last two batters throwing 11 pitches with 9 of those in the strike zone.

The Lake would coax single run in their last three innings which put those finishing touches for a complete game that will hopefully set up CLHS with a runway for next week’s Spring Break  that will be crafted with chances to get a winning streak and fine tuning of those little things needed for a successful district schedule.

But before next week, The Lake, will be back in action this Friday with a 6:30pm first pitch against Crystal City. Keep it CLEAN Hawks!

Let’s Go Lake!
