At least this was not a ‘Heart’ breaker game, but it hurt just the same as Canyon Lake had pitching,

hitting and fielding woes all come to the same party at the same time in their loss to Fredericksburg, 12-6.
The Billies sent nine batters to the plate in that first inning giving CL a taste of what might happen, but then Canyon Lake also responded with five runs in their next two innings to take a one run lead and momentum.
Four of CL’s six hits were in those first two innings as they could only scrape across to more runs in this game.
Some very good defensive gems were also present at this party that turned bad.
JJ Nance had a great play in right field when he fielded a hard hit single and threw the first base runner out at second base.
Kyler Huff in centerfield also threw out a runner trying to advance to third in that first inning resulting in a double play on a fly ball out.
Nick Cahill then pegged a runner trying to score on a single at home plate and Catcher Michael Brady had the honors of tagging a Billie on the ear.
A double play started by SS Peyton Sipila in the second inning kept Fredericksburg at bay by letting Pitcher Ryan Hutcheson facing the minimum.
