Hit Man says way to get rid of those Pests Hawks!
Canyon Lake got back on a winning streak now at two games this week and will enjoy their Spring Break with 4 consecutive day games starting on the road at SA Cole~~Home Comfort~~Road New Braunfels~~Home Gonzales.
A Unicorn match-up will be a telling game based on making the playoffs and as teams progresses, games become harder. That would put this contest for an idea of how your Hawks might fair against a NB team that has an 11-2 season record and is 2-1 in district outings thus far.
The Lake beat a 6-3 team last Friday scoring in all but one inning while amassing 12 hits beating Crystal City, 12-5.
Ryder Hopper ran his record to 4-0 with this win allowing 2 hits and one unearned run in his 4 innings of work.
Go Hawks!
Hayes Holladay pitched the final 3 innings for a save with 2 unearned runs coming across the plate.
Those unearned runs will be one of the major needs to improve as those mistakes could cost a district victory.
Canyon Lake blew this game wide open in their final at bat scoring 4 runs on 3 hits. Ryan Rena had the big hit with a double that was followed by an rbi single off the bat for Gavin Baldera.
Three hits for Bryce May and Michael Anderson and all the players who made an appearance reached base during this outing.
Let’s Go Lake!
CL’s district has all these schools with a better than .500 record with perennial power Navarro at the top of the list with just one loss along with their 10 wins.
Davenport has played the toughest schedule and should be a major hurdle this year as well as always tough Wimberley.
Fredericksburg is standing in with a stellar, 12-3 record and will coming into district play loaded with a lot of confidence.
Bandera proved last year they could get a district win which happened against Canyon Lake which tells you that taking a day off for any team will not be a recipe for garnering a conquest.
“I think we are set for our first district game for Tuesday,” Head Coach Victor Escamilla stated. “We have to have a line-up for our Friday district ball game…We have to get some action and have someone step up on the mound who wants to become our number two and once we find that person then we will fill in those defensive spots behind him.”
Coach Escamilla continued talking bout CL’s defense and hitting part of the game, “On the fielding part, we have to do a better job and on the hitting part… we are not adjusting to the off speed pitches and we’re trying to yank it and we know better than and we need to learn to go the other way and once we start hitting the right-center gap then we are doing good.”
Four games in four days will play like a tournament week without playing back to back contests.
This week will have a lot riding on the progress as a road game against Wimberley will be here soon and an, all hands on deck, with players assigned being ready for having a productive district results.
Make it Work Hawks!!
