close at the San Marcos Softball Tournament.

Canyon Lake finished non-district play with a healthy dose of games as they ready for their opening game this coming Tuesday at home against the Fredericksburg Billies.

In the Hawks game with Socorro, CL had 4 triples, scored three runs in three of their innings, and won the third game of this tournament.

The Hawks deviated from their lineup in this game and reaped some benefits when Alexis Robinson responded with three rbi with her two triples while batting third and not lead off.

Tournament.

The four team pod with CL will go into a Gold, Silver, Bronze and based on the first day record, the Hawks will ascertain a third place finish after suffering two losses to Corpus Christi King and Weimer.

The Hawks did start their day on a good note when they jumped into a strong first inning with Houston St. Agnes winning 7-2.

This tournament’s games had a time limit of 50 minutes and going more than three innings would be a stretch.

Canyon Lake came up on the short end in their game with Hyde Park after a three run rally in the bottom of

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.

The ReSporter: When you have a very quick player to lead off and can get on

Head Softball Coach John Gallagher

with a bunt, why do you bat Robinson first, when she has an opportunity to have players on base more and using her bat to knock then in?

Coach Gallagher: “I look at first, a player that can consistency get on and Alexis Robinson has a high percentage of getting a base hit. When you use a player that bunts well and has speed the defense can read that and play in more. With that player (DuBois) in the two hole you have the ability to slap, bunt, hit, and get that runner over without having to give up an out. It also puts more pressure on the defense not knowing how to play that hitter. Your leadoff hitter after the first at bat usually does not lead off more than once more, and we try to put speed in the 9th spot so she can hit in the bottom of the order. We also try to put contact hitters toward the bottom of the lineup to help with getting on base.”

Corey Shedrock is Safe…..

What a wild week at The Lake.

First off, Girl’s Soccer: The game with Wimberley last Tuesday was a great contest.

Jen Crownover sponsors Hawk Sports. As she asks for your vote this Tuesday.

With so many ebbs and flows and a final outcome that could not have been scripted in hollywood.

That win has Canyon Lake in the driver’s seat for a chance to make it two years in a row of playing in the playoffs. The Hawks will play this coming Friday against Seguin a team CL beat 7-0 earlier this year.

Another win and one stop closer.

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.

Alexis Robinson reaches 8 wins in Blanco Tournament

Another old timer, Sophomore Alexis Robinson was also nails in the circle with 11 strikeouts leaving only four outs being recorded in the field.

Hawks Kelsey Ahrens puts the tag on player while Kat Weber comes in for reinforcements.

Canyon Lake finished their first day in the Blanco tournament with a 2-1 record as the Hawks clinched a No. 1 Seed for games on Saturday before play started on the night cap game with Harper.

Comfort was controlled with a shut-out and 10 runs by the good gals.

Other teams in the same bracket beat up on each other which allowed CL to rest players and in their loss to Harper.

In the Johnson City game, the Hawks walked their way to a four run first inning and Alexis Robinson had enough runs to run the table on Johnson City.

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.”
