Hawks Pound Panthers in Bi-District Best-of-Three Series

Ryan Rena finished with a double & homer in Hawk Pounding of the Panthers.

Canyon Lake run ruled Eastside Memorial, 16-0 with a combined one hitter with starter Carter Williams and Hayes Holladay that finished with 11 total strikeouts during this 5 inning affair.

The Lake had 15 Hawks garnering a hit (17 total) with 7 of those hits doubles (4) or homers (3).

Carter Williams (11) is now one homer away from tying Griffen Williams (12) for a season of taters. Which can be some good talking points at the family dinner table.

Ryan Rena had his 2nd homer this season as he joins Williams as the only two Hawks with multiple round-trippers.

That last homer came off the bat of Gavin Baldera which was his first since little league.

The Lake was held to one run to start the game with an inning ending double play…but that would be the only bad at bat as their next inning had 19 Hawks come to the plate producing 13 runs, 5 singles, 5 doubles, 2 home runs, 2 walks and 1 batter who reached on an error.

Gavin Baldera’s home-run was first since little league as Hawks look to sweep Friday!

Williams took the mound that next frame and struck out the side throwing 9 strikes and 4 balls. Pretty efficient way to squelch any thoughts for these Panthers of staging a comeback. Holladay finished the final two innings striking out 4 in the 4th inning (one player reached base after a passed ball and one in the 5th inning.

The Hawks will continue this best-of-three series tomorrow at Nelson Field in Austin with that first pitch at 5:00pm. A rubber match will start 30 minutes later if the Panthers win that opening contest.

Way to Pound the Ball Hawks!!
