Navarro softball sweeps Canyon Lake, advances to area playoffs
(Marion) – Navarro found reprieve from the region’s rainy weather and wet field conditions on the artificial turf at Marion High School to sweep Canyon Lake 18-8 and 13-3 in the 4A bi-district softball playoffs on Thursday and Friday.
The Panthers started the first game at Canyon Lake on Wednesday, led 4-3 in the fourth inning when play was suspended due to weather, resumed the game in Marion on Thursday, and outscored the Hawks 14-5 the rest of the way to take a 1-0 series lead.
Navarro plated three runs in the fourth inning, sixt in the fifth, another in the sixth, and four in the seventh.
Cougarettes hand Matadors second straight district loss, Friday game at Boerne-Champion to air on KWED
(Seguin) – Seguin landed on the short end of a 16-11 slug-fest against New Braunfels-Canyon on Tuesday afternoon in the fifth game of the District 26-5A softball slate.
The Matadors connected for 15 hits, but the Cougarettes topped that number with 17.
Canyon’s short game execution and speed on the bases kept constant pressure on the Seguin defense. The Cougarettes scored six unearned runs on three Matador errors.
“You can talk about all the errors, but if they’re not putting the bat on the ball, it doesn’t happen, so you’ve got to give them credit,” Seguin head coach John Garcia said. “They put the bat on the ball. Swinging, short game, everything. They do put a lot of pressure on you, and we didn’t handle that very well at the start of the game, but we kind of came back and settled down a little bit.”
