Maggie Banks is making her presence known in the circle and 3rd base.

Canyon Lake had a banner day in their Blanco Tourney as the Hawks scored 39 runs in their run-a-way games to start with 3 wins.

The Hawks pounded the ‘soft’Ball again on Thursday in Johnson City and now officials will have to dispose of those balls since those Softballs were actually ‘Soft’ after the Hawks pounded them.

Put in perspective, CL only had one inning in those 3 contests where there was a 0 used after their 3 outs.

Having 40 hits in those three games will give you an idea of how on fire these Hawks were on this break out day.

Lead off batter, Carly Dubois, was 11 for 11 for the day. Take a look at this line score for this hitter. If you go back to her Fredericksburg game then you have a batter that has 14 hits in her last 15 at bats.

Dubois also used one of her hits for an inside the park home-run to go along with her 6 stolen bases for the day.

Hawks Grab 2nd Win over Fredericksburg the last two years

Canyon Lake has a 2 game winning streak over Fredericksburg as Alexis Robinson threw a shutout over the Billies to improve their record to, 9-3-1 as the Hawks prepare for the Blanco tournament this Thursday.

“This game was something that we needed,” Head Coach John Gallagher said. “This is the type of game we will see when we start district.”

Canyon Lake’s schedule is crafted, by helping the team to improve as district starts which is always that end goal in getting players ready for a larger pie.

Senior 2nd Baseman Kirsten Jones

Cows were seen running for the hills after Canyon Lake’s softball game with Seminole ended on a run rule, 12-0 as the Hawks finished the tournament undefeated and one tie.

Canyon Lake hit the cover off the ball with 13 hits as all but one Hawk batter made it to base safely.

With just one game of stats not complete the Hawks can go 8 batters with a .300 batting average or higher.

Carly Dubois who carries a .398 lifetime batting average looks anemic with a .351 so far this season.

The Hawks have found their bat and the result is Cows heading for the hills to protect their hide as CL was busy trying to find some leather to rewrap the balls hit throughout this 3 day tournament.

Junior Carly Dubois is the spark-plug for CL’s offense

Canyon Lake wakes up in time to get a two game winning streak after the second day of games as the Hawks win last games against Harper and Flatonia.

In that first game, the Hawks, had to rally for a tie as a 5-0 lead was reduced to a 2 run deficit as the game’s time limit was starting to close out the affair.

Alexis Robinson started the 5th inning with a double and then Kat Weber would single Robinson home as CL still needed at least one more score to tie this game.

That hit came from the bat of Bailey Bryan and she was left stranded on third base as Canyon Lake just could not close the game out.

Canyon Lake persevered in their first tournament game played on Thursday against Johnson City, 4-3.

“We did not give up and persevered,” Head Softball Coach John Gallagher stated. “We started slow but our pitching was very good and we got it done in the last inning.”

Drama was part of the action as both teams scored in their final at bat as the Hawks pushed across the winning run with 2 outs after a Alexis Robinson walk.

That base on balls had Robinson scooting to second base with a steal and then an error on a throw to second allowed Kirsten Jones to score that winning run.
