Canyon Lake finished this last week’s tourney with just one loss to El Paso Franklin and are now working on a 3 game winning streak heading into district play this Tuesday when Fredericksburg comes to town.
Bunk-Haus says Let’s GO HAWKS!!
The Lake found some pitchers that can come in handy as receivers and using that element will add some added depth to a deep staff.
Since the Robstown win at the Sinton Tournament, Canyon Lake has won 5 of their last 6 contests and all but one of those games being decided 3 or less runs.
Good news was using a ‘closer’ that preserved wins four of those battles and holding that lead for a win.
Roman Gonzales was next pitcher up in the final game with El Paso High when CL had a, 1-0 lead when winner Luke Roskin left the game with that one run lead and had Gonzales with a two inning solid finish with striking out 2 and not giving up a hit. In facing 6 batters, only one, had a full-count leaving no doubt of continuing the domination Roskin had started.
In his last two games, Roskin has pitched 11.2 innings and has given up 4 hits- 3 walks while striking out 18 batters.
Way to GO HAWKS!!
John Gulley was recorded a save in that first game and Gonzales went 2 innings with his stint.
“We threw a lot of strikes,” Head Coach Victor Escamilla deduced. “Our defense is getting better but our offense is struggling. We have our first district game Tuesday ready or not!”
District 27-4A’s schedule will have 3 games with each school with the first set as single contests and then the schedule will finish with each week having a team played twice.
Fredericksburg will be that first, out of the box, battle which will be a home game. The Billies have crafted a, 5-4 record and just one of those games was pitted against a team (Elgin 3-5) with a losing record.
Way to Make it Count Hawks!!
Coach Escamilla’s comment on bats not producing has been softened with some solid arms with a team, 1.42 earned run average (era) and those 3 losses to a 6A squad and two from the 4A classification and each of those schools have a combined, 19-0 record.
A team .257 batting average and an improving defense will have a magnifying glass focused on teams when district games are played. CL is playing with fire when one of those 3 elements is working as it is well know that one error at the right time can spell doom in a victory or loss.
Canyon Lake will finish with their Comal Clash Tournament starting on Thursday with a 9:30am start against SA Wagner and then a 7:30 clash with Flour Bluff. Another two games on Friday with a night cap double header when London’s bridge comes falling down at 5:00pm start followed by East Central.
Saturday will have a 12 noon start against a seeded team.
In that final, 1-0 win over El Paso, Canyon Lake scored what would be the winning run when hot hitting Hayden Baker has a one-out double that was followed with a walk for Griffen Williams and then Carter Williams single scoring that run.
A lot of home games for the local folk to take in some baseball CL style as this week starts district and 5 games for more auditioning for with bats for Hawk players to wedge into a role as this season gets ready for finishing out with another chance to Go High Hawks!!
