Canyon Lake has served notice that this season there will be no cake walks in District 27-3A and laugher games.

Ten of last years district losses were by four or more runs and this time the Hawks used just two hits and left this game within two runs of staying alive.

Michael Brady had one of those hits in the form of a double and driving in two runs to get the ball rolling.

With a 6-4 lead going into the bottom of the fifth inning, CL had a chance of getting that all important win to start district play.

Four runs later by Fredericksburg had the Hawks in a hole that could not be filled and this eventual loss.

The good news is this district has three games with each school and that should give CL plenty of time to start getting those important wins.

Now it is time to get in front of that line to get some cake and eat it too!

Canyon Lake won another game on Friday night, it just so happens that it was a previous

contest against Marble Falls as the Mustangs were playing with an ineligible player.

However, on the game played on the field tonight, Canyon Lake lost a one run game to St. Michaels as that clutch hit just could not be found.

Recap: Playing in tournaments is tough on many teams based on how deep a pitching staff they might have.

St. Michael’s was playing their second game to CL’s third game, so advantage to St. Michaels in the arms race.

This game last season might have been a laugher when you consider that the Hawks barely had nine players much less enough pitchers to put out on a mound to help give CL a chance for a win.

Canyon Lake (5-2) split their two games to open the Comal Tournament yesterday at Hawk Diamond.

Once again this Hawk team is starting to show that depth might be able to give CL a chance for each game they play.

Logan Felch is the ace of this bullpen and will only see a couple of innings due to a start against Fredericksburg next Tuesday night to open District 27-3A play.

Usually that would mean a drop off for other games due to depth problems on the mound.

Ryan Hutcheson took his first loss with giving up two runs and two hits to Lehman in the first game.

“We had costly error and stranded some runners,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant said. “Did not play badly but we just could not seem to get that timely hit.”

Canyon Lake had three hits but the most glaring number in this loss were those three errors.

It was a different story in CL’s game with El Paso Parkland as they scored in every inning but one and amassed 12 hits in this win.

Take the more important number and you will really make sense with this victory, one error.

Senior Travis Walker pitched a gem in this contest as he scattered six hits while giving up only three runs.

Meanwhile in the other dugout Canyon Lake found their real bats and had several extra base hits to bury the EP Matadors.

“We played really well in this game,” Coach Dunavant commented.

Canyon Lake has a four game winning streak after an ugly win over Lago Vista

Vikings after their 1-day delayed affair at the Hawk Diamond.

The game that was scheduled for Monday night was postponed by wind and CL continued this season by settling in on a four game win streak which has not happened since, since, well it has never happened.

This is now the longest streak of this sort since two three game winning streaks during their 2010 season. A season that was climaxed with a trip to Harlingen and one batter short of a third round opponent.

“We need to work on our mental toughness and we’ve got to focus,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant said. ”

The Vikings opened up their first inning with a towering home run by Mason Ornales who would also finish off this game with another shot over that same left field fence in the seventh inning.

Both home runs were solo shots, but good hits all the same.

The Hawks responded in their bottom of the first when lead off hitter Garrett Winters walked and eventually scored when Logan Felch knocked him in two batters later.

Travis Walker reached base on an error and then with two runner on Michael Brady broke out of a mini slump with a double scoring both runners. Brady would end with two hits.

Hitting machine, Kyler Huff then did likewise with a double scoring the fourth run knocking in Brady.

Huff has been on a tear this season from the plate and does not seem to be letting up.

Canyon Lake has now reached last year’s win total as the Hawks took care of the little things to win big over Austin Lanier Vikings, 7-3.

“Glad we got to three wins,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant dead panned. “Let’s don’t shut down main street for a parade just yet.”

Baseball is won more by doing little things within a game and when a team is successful in that execution, then a win will usually be a result.

“If you don’t hit the ball then your opponent can’t have fielding errors,” Coach Dunavant said eloquently. “We need to get on a roll to get things right and just win.”

Little things like hitting a ball and giving yourself a chance to have your opponent make a mistake. Lanier finished with seven errors in this game.

The Lanier Vikings did have some fielding problems and CL did what good teams are suppose to do when given gifts.

Open them!!

Canyon Lake will be baseball central this week as your Hawks will entertain four teams from around the state for the Comal ISD Tournament. There will other games played at the Hawk field so if you want to take in other games, then contact Comal Athletic Department.

The Hawks had a decent week of games with a couple of run ruled games in the Lockhart Tournament and also a good competitive game with Marble Falls on opening night.

This is not the same team that has graced Hawk Field in recent years as both Varsity and JV are having some great results with depth out the wazoo.

The Varsity finished their tournament 3-0 by winning Saturday over Austin Lanier.

CLJV baseball team had a win over Wimberley on Friday night and have several players that deserve some attention.

Girls Soccer also had a significant win this past week taking on and beating Seguin, 4-0. Soccer does not have as many teams as other sports so CL plays in a 4A division with other brought up 3A squads.

Canyon Lake Junior Varsity took care of Wimberley in their first District 27-3A game giving the Texans a long ride home, winning 6-4.

After a rough start in that first inning, Canyon Lake’s defense buckled down and did not commit another misplay allowing their bats to come alive and their pitchers finish off our neighbors to the north.

William Volz started the first inning having to adjust after some defensive miscues but that learning process is what will pay dividends as this season matures.

“I started pretty good,” Pitcher Volz said. “It kind of makes me think on what I need to work on…I was a little frustrated but then I just let it go and then tried my hardest.”

Volz was commenting on how he approached those first couple of innings while only having a texas leaguer as the biggest hit and no other ball scared the grass in the outfield.

Canyon Lake continues strong run in Lockhart Tournament with another run rule win over Austin Travis, 12-0.

Pitcher Ryan Hutcheson was well in command in this affair without allowing a hit in his four innings of work.

Kyler Huff is on a good hitting pace so far this season as he ripped a triple in this game while driving in two runs.

Canyon Lake started this game on fire scoring five runs and ended up scoring in each inning as the Hawks are over the .500 mark for the first time in three years.

In baseball you need Pitching, Batting, and Fielding and in all three the Hawks got a passing grade.

Ten hits, no errors and a shut out will do wonders for your win-loss column.

Now Canyon Lake will play again in Lockhart at noontime and see about running their streak up to three games.

Wow…there are a lot of threes in this article. Congrats!
