Hawks had a walk in the park with two wins in Wimberley on a cold Monday night.

Canyon Lake outhit the Texans by 13, but walking nine players kept this game close as the Hawks completed a double header sweep after a 7-6 win in their first game.

“We won two tight ball games tonight,” Coach Brian Owens said. “It is those little things with the teams enthusiasm and communication on the field that win tight ball games.”

“Nick Kissell, coming in for Austin Headrick in that first game when the game was on the line and holding Wimberley that allowed us to comeback and William Volz doing the same thing in game two.”

Starting pitcher, Hayden Dubois had a no-hitter when Coach Owens went to the mound in the bottom of the fourth after allowing a couple of runs on walks.

Yes, it was a no hitter, but with seven walks Dubois certainly did not have command of the plate on this night.

“I went to get him because he was getting tired,” Coach Owens said. “He played hard in that first game and his legs were dead.”

On if he thought about letting Dubois continued pitching since he had a no hitter, “I did not even know he had a no hitter. But even if I did know, he (Dubois) would not complain because he is a team player.”

This Week in Hawk Country, CL has a Playoff game at home against Boerne Champion who finished second in District 54-4A.

Canyon Lake Girls Soccer earned this right when they tied Wimberley in their regular season final last Friday night.

Canyon Lake has officially checked in to the Heartbreak Hotel after another loss by one run to Navarro last Friday night at the Hawk Diamond.

The offense for both schools was over after a home run in the top of the first inning with two outs.

Both pitchers and their defense were able to wrap this game up in a little over 1:20 minutes.

Two innings of, what ifs, continued this heartbreak season with a bases loaded no outs inning and nothing to show for it.

The other inning had two runners on base and a bullet hit off the bat into Navarro’s third baseman mitt, ending that inning with a double play.

This heartbreak hotel had the tenants taking their own luggage to their room and no one to help.

Logan Felch pitched a masterful game with one pitch he would love to have back.

Kyler Huff had a double for the Hawks only extra base hit and Michael Brady kept his hot streak with two hits.

Another heartbreak game and hopefully this hotel is full now and Canyon Lake can get a room at Hotel Valencia Riverwalk in San Antonio and a new season can begin.

Hawks lost every game played on Tuesday night and so The ReSporter will just do an overall recap for all those games below.

Stats will be for the games that Coaches sent to us.

In Soccer, Canyon Lake Boys continue a season with very few smiley faces to show for their work. As has been mentioned, Soccer has a task of facing larger schools and winning is always a challenge.

That hopes to change in the near future with a new alignment possibility but for now CL is still hoping for a win against Wimberley this Friday as they will close out their season.

Canyon Lake played Dripping Springs tough in their first go around, losing 1-0, but Tuesday night they were outscored 4-0 in the loss.

Girls Soccer has had more success than the boys and will soon have a chance to participate in the postseason after this Friday’s game with Wimberley.

Dripping Springs has a dominant team and once again beat CL, 6-0 which might have been suspected after losing their first game, 8-0. The Springs has clinched first place in District 53-4A play.

Friday is a big day for CL, as a win over Wimberley, will put the Hawks in a game with a second seeded team from District 54-4A.

Canyon Lake JV Baseball team split a double header with Bandera, Monday night at the Hawk Diamond

winning the second game, 8-0 to earn this split.

The Hawks were a different team when they took the field for the nightcap.

“Coach (Brian Owens) challenged our manhood,” Colton Avey said after commenting how bad their first game was played. “That got us fired up!”

The split was a result of good defense and even better pitching.

How good? Try these stats out for size.

Bandera’s pitcher threw 35 pitches in his first inning of work.
Austin Headrick pitched 30 pitches for the entire game.

How about three outs on three pitches in his final inning.

“I have only done that once when I was eight,” Pitcher Headrick recollected. “I was really focused and Coach really wanted us to turn it around after the loss and get some enthusiasm.”

Canyon Lake could not hold onto a two run lead in the seventh inning and end up giving a game to Wimberley in extra innings, 4-3.

The Hawks were progressing through the game with timely double plays and hitting while forging to what seemed to be a comfortable win.

Then two hit batters to start the seventh inning ended up scoring on the Texans only hit of that stanza and tying the game which eventually led to this heartbreaking loss.

Daniel Camarillo started the game with a double in the gap and scored the Hawks opening run when the Texans pitcher wild pitched him home on a bang…bang play at the plate.

Canyon Lake drew blood again in the third when Peyton Sipila singled with one out and advanced to second on catcher’s indifference.

Enter Cody Powell, who proceeded to have a seven pitch at bat and he finally found a pitch to handle scoring Sipila with a single.

That at bat by Powell had six of those seven pitches in the strike zone and speaks well for a great at bat. Powell ended this game with three hits.

The Hawks last score was ln the next inning when CL had two outs that were made on the base paths.

With Camarillo advancing to third with Travis Walker’s hard grounder in the hole, the ball hit Camarillo’s foot resulting in runner’s interference and an automatic out.

Walker’s hit would of scored Camarillo, but all CL had to show for this first out of the inning was two runners on and one out.

The Hawks evened their district record with a walk off single by Michael Brady helping CL overcome a two run deficit in their last at bat.

Canyon Lake had a 3-2 lead starting the third inning but a seventh inning three run rally by the Bulldogs was matched when the Hawks held on for a team that might not have accomplished a game like this in previous seasons.

“Things looked bleak,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant mused. “I don’t know what a come from behind win will do for this club, but last year’s team would not of won this game.

Corey Shedrock who had been injured the past couple of weeks had a pinch hit in that last inning and that was just what the doctored ordered.

That hit was a result of a perfect bunt single on what was set up to be a sacrifice bunt to advance the two runners. This bunt saved an important out and helped lead to the late heroics.

Brady also added a triple to his walk off single resume and has been on a good hitting streak the past few games.

Canyon Lake Baseball team rebounded with two wins in the Llano Tournament last Saturday.

The two wins were a welcome relief after losing their first two games of this tourney.

The Hawks beat Austin St. Michaels for the first time since starting the program, 5-4.

Travis Walker had a strong six innings of work before giving up the mound for Austin Headricks to help end the inning.

Kyler Huff ended up pitching the final inning and getting the win.

Michael Brady continues to have a high on base percentage as he finished with one hit and three walks.

Peyton Sipila and Daniel Camarillo both finished with two hits in this contest.

Canyon Lake had a bad day in Llano tournament on Thursday as they took it on the chin in games with Liberty Hill and Taylor.

In the game with Liberty Hill, CL could not solve their pitcher with a total of 13 strikeouts. When you only need your defense to field eight outs, then many times the end result will be a loss.

The Hawks did have enough base runners to do more damage, but the strikeout pitch would help the pitcher to survive for another inning.
