Canyon Lake lost a frustrating game to Fredericksburg to open District 27-3A play at the Hawk diamond

Junior Nick Cahill

Wednesday night, 7-4.

Frustrating is the best word to describe this outcome as Fredericksburg turned into an opportunistic team to scratch across enough runs to get separation on the Hawks.

“We did not make plays we needed to make,” Head Coach Trent Dunavant started. “Those little plays were made big plays and we did not keep our foot on the gas on offense.”

Cody Powell was throwing a gem going into the fifth inning when an error on a bunt spelled doom and eventually four runs for the Billies.

the sixth inning losing, 6-5.

The Hawks had forged into a two run lead late in this game to see HP come back and take the win.

Alexis Robinson saw her six game winning streak come to an end with this loss. But in this loss Robinson did not have a walk and that helped keep the game within striking or strikeout distance.

In fact, with her 67 pitches, 51 were strikes.

Hawks setting the table for a breakout year

Hawks took the title from Blanco in their own backyard when Kat Weber singled in Alexis Robinson in the fifth inning which proved to be enough needed to pull off another milestone for this Canyon Lake club.

Winning a tournament will be another bench mark that can be put on their wall for a team that is on a roll. This game also allowed CL to avenge an earlier loss this year when the Hawks gave up 9 runs in the 5th inning helping Blanco to a 14-11 win.

Robinson pitched another gem in this seven inning battle, giving up one walk and striking out four Panthers.

Robinson also was pretty salty from the batter’s box with a double and triple in this contest.

a lot of action. The game was called based on a time limit for this Comal ISD Tournament.

Burnet drew first blood in the top of the second when a misplayed ball resulted in a double to right field resulted in two runs after the Hawks had acquired two outs up to that point.

Canyon Lake put up a six spot in their half of the inning with a two rbi double off the bat of TJ Jones that helped put a catalyst in the second inning.

Burnet had two costly errors in this inning which helped the Hawks bat around on their lineup.

The ‘Fat Lady’ warmed up her voice a few times in this Canyon Lake and Austin Akins game, but was never called on stage as the Hawks had their biggest comeback ever in a win over the Eagles, 15-14.

Canyon Lake had dug a pretty deep hole when they found themselves down 9-0 in the third inning, as Akins had a grand slam in the first inning and another bomb over the center field fence the that five run third stanza.

The Hawks did take a bite out of these Eagles when left-fielder Cody Powell responded with a two run single in the bottom half of the third.

Same song but different verse as Canyon Lake beat Luling for the second time

Kat Weber and Emma Broussard after win over Luling

this year at home, 13-2.

The Hawks piled on the hits and overmatched the Eagles on this night as Freshman Kat Weber (3) led four other players with multiple hits.

“I think we did well tonight and we got aggressive,” Short Stop Weber said. “Our base running has got to get better.”

Coaches have to like players that are not satisfied and that statement speaks volumes for a player that is in her first year.

Is there competition amongst the freshman on this team? “There is always competition but we definitely love each other and are getting more comfortable with our game.”
