Maggie Banks is making deposits as this Softball Season continues.

Canyon Lake’s Softball squad had their 2nd Tournament where they finished 2nd as they lost a coin flip with Navarro to break the first place tie.

A tie is what happened in CL’s game with the Panthers, as that game finished knotted up with both teams finishing the Hill Country Tournament with the same amount of points. Wimberley finished 3rd for this completed round robin affair.

“I thought we played very well,’ Head Coach John Gallagher started. “The Navarro game was tough for us to get anything going but we did capitalize on walks and wild pitches to score….a couple of big hits by their bottom of the order got them back in the game and time ran out.”

Saturday had Canyon Lake back in the saddle with a run-a-way win over Luling, 12-0 and a comeback win over John Paul II after scoring 3 runs in the bottom of the 5th inning for that final victory.

  Go Hawks!!

Canyon Lake started their Hill Country Classic Tournament with two wins on Thursday morning as the Hawks continued their hot streak from he batter’s box scoring 15 runs in those two contests.

In the first game, the Hawks, rushed out to a 3-0 lead in the first two innings and road those runs to the finish line beating the Panthers, 3-2.

Bailey Bryan reached base via a walk and stole 2nd base where she was scored when Maddy Puente singled Byran in. Canyon Lake loaded the bases after that run but ran out of outs and left the bases loaded.

Maddy Puente & Bailey Bryan with Home-Run Balls

Canyon Lake left their last day at the Navarro Tournament with a sweep, as the Austin Royals and Yoakum Bulldogs were the victims of the Hawk’s power.

The Hawk’s scored 16 runs in both games, while stroking 28 hits with 7 doubles, 1 triple, and 2 home-runs making up 10 of those 28 hits.

CL finished the Navarro Tourney in 2nd place out of 24 teams for their best finish since they started attending this first of the year set of games.

“With this line-up we are pretty strong from one to nine with our power, bunting, and slapping,” Head Coach John Gallagher stated.

Lauren Mentzer gets even after pitching a 1-hitter against Luling

Hawks Suffer Growing Pains after mixed results on Friday at the Huber Softball Complex Tournament.

Canyon Lake had a rude awakening at 9am on Friday morning as the 7th rated Cuero Gobblers took control of this game early from the circle and the batter’s box.

Both places were lethal for the Hawks as they were able to coax a walk for their only successful ab bat as CL found it hard to get the bat on the ball for the entire contest.

Lauren Mentzer started the game but could not control the strike zone as Cuero took advantage and ran out to an 11-0 final score.

Kat Weber is ready for break out year!!

Canyon Lake accomplished getting that bad taste out of their mouths after starting the season with a loss to Wimberley. On Thursday at Huber Ranch, the Hawks, outscored their two opponents, 35-0 as CL left no prisoners.

Pearsall and Jefferson were the two schools taking the brunt of CL’s bad mood as both games were stopped after the 2nd and 3rd innings respectfully.

Some good signs as Maddy Puente and Lauren Mentzer both had home-runs in the second game and Puente’s had an exclamation point with a grand slam.

Softball’s Coach John Gallagher

The ReSporter: What can you tell us about the team as the time nears?

Coach Gallagher: “Since starting last week everyone has worked very hard and continues to get better and learn. We have some girls working to get noticed and their efforts have been admirable. Our returners are looking good and are getting into a groove both on offense and defense.

The ReSporter: Will you have enough for two teams this year?

Coach Gallagher: “Our numbers right now are good but not everyone is out because of basketball and swimming. We are hoping to get even more out this week.”

The ReSporter: The defense was your achilles heal last season, what can you tell us about that part of your team?

Coach Gallagher: “Defensively I see a stronger and deeper team. We have some options to work with at several positions which is always nice. The outfielders have some strong and accurate arms and I am very happy with their play so far. The infielders are very competitive and showing some very athletic skills.” (more…)
