Canyon Lake Softball team split their two games yesterday in the Marion Tournament, winning against Pearsall but lost in their game with Incarnate Word.

Briana Young went two for two with a double to lead CL in the game with Pearsall as this young lady continues to produce from the plate.

Robinson pitched both games but finally ran out of gas in their game with Incarnate Word after the fifth inning with the score tied at 0-0.

Kelsey Ahrens did have two hits in this loss while Alexis Robinson had nine strikeouts and four walks.

“It was scoreless through five innings, but Robinson just got tired,” Head Coach John Gallagher commented. “But we played a good game.”

Winning a one run affair and showing up well in their loss to Incarnate Word will instill confidence in this young club as District 27-3A play will begin after Spring Break week.

The Hawks will continue their Tournament as long as the inclement weather will cooperate.

CL plays nothing but ‘Ds’ on their schedule to end the Marion Tournament…with Devine at 2pm, DeHarris at 6pm and finishing with Dilley at 8pm.

Good Luck Girls!

A game of inches would be a literal assessment of Tuesday’s night loss to Hyde Park at the CL’s Softball

Complex in their 8-7 outcome.

Two batters reached base on errors with two base hits and a walk that left two runners stranded after a ground out to the Panther third baseman. The inning did have two scores but after Vicky Henderson was called out on a slide at third left the Hawks having to claw to get in scoring position again.

That out on third would of been the tying run.

Hyde Park is a TAPPS IV school and has a good ball club, but now CL wishes they had another chance at this Panther club after getting so close for a game that looked to be a runaway.

The Panthers started the first inning with a three run home run and then added another four spot in the top of the third inning for a 7 run lead.

Canyon Lake finally scored some runs in the third giving a sense vulnerability to this Panther team.

Spark plug, McKenna Beseda started this inning reaching base on a fielding error. The Hawks finished this game with a total of six batters getting on base in this same manner.

Hawks lost their first game on Saturday to the Lytle Pirates, 6-5 ending their tournament chances

of advancing to play more games.

Don’t take this wrong, but winning all your games in a tournament is not the reason why these games are scheduled. Simply put, it is for repetition for these players as they prepare for district games.

Yes, a win would of been even better, but Coach Gallagher is after a bigger goal than winning all these games. Gallagher is in evaluation mode.

CL did have a chance to win this game and might have pulled it out if the ‘time’ limit would not have stopped action. But losing a five inning affair would give the Coaches plenty of data to look at to see what they might want to do when the real season starts.

Case and point was an at bat by Freshman Cameron Berger in the top of the 5th inning.

After Kelsey Ahrens reached base on an error on the Pirate center fielder, Canyon Lake had coaxed a runner (Sharon Alexanders) to third base but two of the next two batters had struck out.

Enter Berger to the plate with two outs and the Hawks needing a run. After two pitches and two strikes, Berger was in a hole.

CL’s Softball team righted their ship Thursday in their opening round of games in the Blanco Tournament.

Canyon Lake won two games and lost one in their seeding part of this tournament. With those two victories to start the day, allowed Coach John Gallagher to rest and play many of their other players in their game with Poth to finish up the day.

Freshman Alexis Robinson threw two no hitters to help put Canyon Lake as the first seed waiting to play the fourth seed todays action of that other bracket.

In Robinson’s first game she had six strikeouts and five walks and no earned runs and then upped the antie in her second game with 10 strikeouts while walking four players.

McKenna Beseda had the batter’s box well in control as she was three for six with two doubles to hang on her wall.

Now the Hawks still have some work to do in getting their stride in order taking on District foes in a few days.

But first taking care of business this Saturday starting at Noon will be next on their docket for Canyon Lake.

Canyon Lake will be baseball central this week as your Hawks will entertain four teams from around the state for the Comal ISD Tournament. There will other games played at the Hawk field so if you want to take in other games, then contact Comal Athletic Department.

The Hawks had a decent week of games with a couple of run ruled games in the Lockhart Tournament and also a good competitive game with Marble Falls on opening night.

This is not the same team that has graced Hawk Field in recent years as both Varsity and JV are having some great results with depth out the wazoo.

The Varsity finished their tournament 3-0 by winning Saturday over Austin Lanier.

CLJV baseball team had a win over Wimberley on Friday night and have several players that deserve some attention.

Girls Soccer also had a significant win this past week taking on and beating Seguin, 4-0. Soccer does not have as many teams as other sports so CL plays in a 4A division with other brought up 3A squads.

Missy Romero has started her career off in grand fashion as Copiah-Lincoln

Community College sports a 9-0-1 record with two of those victories over the No. 5 team in the country.

Romero has a 2-0 pitching record and has also come through in the batter’s box.

In the game against Heartland (IL), Romero tripled and scored their first run and then homered for her first home run that helped extend the Lady Wolves lead to 7-1 two innings later.

In a game with Baton Rouge, Romero collected her second win of her new career when she finished the Lady Bears by allowing 2 runs, while scattering 8 hits, struck out 1 and walked 2 in 5 innings of work.

Romero’s second win was in relief when she helped put out a fire with 2.2 innings and not giving up a run against that same No. 5 rated squad that she helped beat with her bat in the first game.

Congratulations to a fine young lady that is representing Canyon Lake and our community.

One truism you can take from Softball Tournament games when starting out your season is a team does everything they can to see all of their players.

Hence the third place finish in their pool is not a bad circumstance based on when Coaches are searching for that diamond that might come out in game situations.

The Lady Hawks lost their first game with Poteet, 10-5 but rebounded quite well when they squashed Luling for their final contest, 17-2.

Also note that if CL is working on giving pitchers time in the circle, then you have to surmise that other teams are working on finding those same ‘diamonds’ for their clubs.

Kelsey Ahrens and Cameron Berger both got some circle duties on Saturday as Head Coach John Gallagher is searching for some answers there as well as in the field as several players had an opportunity to show off.

Canyon Lake is sprinkled with many Freshman and Sophomores this year, but it might be those Seniors that will supply the leadership needed by word or action.

Canyon Lake Softball team won their first game in the Navarro tournament on Thursday with a No-No, when Alexis Robinson pitched to start her promising career.

A Freshman that can pitch a no-hitter in her first game speaks well for Coach John Gallagher’s sleeping for the next four years.

The game was won 9-0 over Stockdale while CL also showed that they might have some pop in their bats.

Missy Romero started her Sophomore campaign with a Perfect Game on February 18, 2010, over Vandergrift, 5-0. Now, the baton has been passed as Robinson begins this season in like manner.

Last night the Lady Hawks beat Marion 13-7 after being up 10-0 going into the later innings.

More information will be forthcoming as Canyon Lake continues their week-end with two games today at Huber Ranch in the last day of Navarro’s Tournament.

Games today will be played at 12:15 and possibly 3:50 Saturday afternoon.
