============================
Wayen Slania-Wertz had 2 doubles & homerun in a Hawk win this week.
Canyon Lake started playing against varsity competition during the 2007-08 year and for that Hawk Baseball team they played very few games.
However, that short season did produce for CLake a record that had stood for 17 years. The Lake outscored San Marcos Academy by 24 runs in a shut-out victory. Well, that minute record is now in the past (pardon the pun) when the Hawks scored 27 runs in a win over Gonzales, 27-4. That 2008 season still has a record winning by 24 runs but the amount of runs now belongs to this year’s squad.
This Spring Break week had 4 consecutive contests starting Monday through Friday’s win as Coach Escamilla said, “I would rather play games than practice.”
CLHS will go into district play this Tuesday at Wimberley with an, 13-4-1 record. Baseball has 3 elements that compose, hitting (offense), fielding (defense), and pitching.
Canyon Lake has done well in two of those 3 elements except for their fielding which showed up in this win by producing 3 errors. To put that in perspective, CL has given up 51 runs and bout half (25 runs) has been earned. The rest came as a result of errors which certainly will play a much more pivotal aspect of wins and losses when competing against district brethren.
Let’s Go Hawks!!
Canyon Lake scored double digit in 3 of the 4 games this week with that one loss to state ranked New Braunfels where 2 runs came across the plate for the Hawks.
Looking at this year’s district opponents on the Standings graph above will show every school with a winning record and that magnifying glass being a tad closer in hopes of having a chance for a post-season season.
Last year, The Lake broke their, no-go to playoff streak, that your Hawks had crafted for 3 seasons during the year after the Wuhan Covid outbreak came right before district and wasting an awesome, 12-2 record collecting cobwebs. (2021-2023 seasons)
Go Lake!
This year, district contests will have 2 games for each school which had been 3 games per school. Another change for the better will have those two games during the same week instead of doing a more traditional round-robin schedule.
In this win over Gonzales, Canyon Lake had 19 hits and 11 of those went extra bases. Carter Williams had two homers a double for 8 rbi and Wayen Slania-Werts had two doubles and a homerun.
In the one run loss to New Braunfels, Williams was on the mound and struck-out 13 Unicorns and gave up 5 hits. The Lake was close to pulling an upset except for those little things that were presented but not being able to increase a lead. It was errors that also contributed to this outcome. Hence, in facing district games for the rest of this season needing to be held to a minimum.
It was a good week of ‘Practice’ and now it will be time to perform with a new purpose that eluded this team last year.
Let’s GO LAKE!
