GO HAWKS!!
Canyon Lake clinched a playoff berth with their, 10-5 road win over Navarro last Tuesday.
The Lake used the binary scoring system (using #’s 2 & 1) during those first 4 innings starting with 2 runs then 1 run during those 4 frames. When that math was done, The Lake enjoyed a, 6-1 advantage.
Navarro did not give up holding CLake without a run in the 5th inning and scored their second run drawing within 4 runs with two innings remaining.
The Hawks put across another run but these Panthers responded with a 3-run homer and now going to the final inning needing 2 runs for a tie.
That was when the insurance salesman got involved for Canyon Lake by scoring 3 runs for a needed term policy with a 5 run lead.
Let’s Go Lake!
It was a three up and three down for these Panthers to end the game.
Canyon Lake started with Rianna Gonzales getting her 5th win in the circle this season. Aubrey Long finished the game that finished with both Ladies giving up just one earned run a piece.
Liza Shexnayder used her lead-off spot in the lineup getting on base 5 of her 6 at bats which was productive with a 2-run double that helped increase Hawk’s lead to, 6-1 which would be the winning hit.
The Lake is down to their final 3 games at the Hawk Nest starting with Davenport this Friday. The Hawks have officially clinched since a Navarro 3-0 finish would still leave a tie with CLake but a 2-0 record against Panthers would break that tie in favor of The Hawks!
Still a lot of games to shore-up some defensive shortcomings but a playoff goal has been reached and time to up the next goal for this team.
Canyon Lake’s last play-off was the 2021 season when this group of seniors were in 8th graders and a Bi-District crown would match that 2018 Hawk squad who bowed out in their Area round.
Way to GO Hawks!!
