Weekend baseball and softball updates

An early lead gives Hornet Baseball a victory over Victoria St. Joseph 23-1 and the team wins the Consolation Bracket in Weimar. Fifteen runs in the first three innings allowed the Hornets to put the game away early. Winning pitcher, Dylan Drgac had nine strikeouts and only one earned run on six hits. Jake Payonk and Drgac led all hitters with 4 hits each. Tanner Luna and Jake Payonk earned All Tournament honors.

Lady Hornet Softball fell short in their first district match-up against home team Taylor. It was a pitching and defensive duel, with freshman pitcher Casey Kauder facing off with Taylor's senior pitcher Selena Lopez. Lopez kept the Lady Hornets off balance all night in the batter's box. Kauder recorded 14 strikeouts and helped take the 0-0 game into 2 extra innings in the 9 inning contest. Lady Hornets were defensively sound all night until the bottom of the 9th, when a Taylor hit prompted a Hornet error to enable Taylor to take the 1-0 victory.

You can watch both teams in action Tuesday night in Navasota at 7pm.
