IP top error-prone Vernon
VERNON – Iowa Park picked up its 20th win of the season, taking advantage of eight Vernon errors in a 9-3 victory in District 6-4A action Friday. The Hawks (20-1, 6-0) secure a share of the 6-4A title with the win and can claim the district outright with one more win or a Burkburnett loss. Burk (16-6, 4-2) plays Vernon (10-9-2, 3-2) on Tuesday and Iowa Park next Friday.
The game was tied 2-2 entering the third inning when Iowa Park broke it open with three runs in the top half of the frame. Derek Hostas had a RBI single and Noah Diaz drove in two with a base hit.
Hostas finished 3 for 5 with a run and two RBIs. Diaz was 1 for 3 with a run and two RBIs. Chris Dickens got the win, giving up three runs – all earned – on seven hits and a walk with eight strikeouts.
Jacob Trufan led Vernon at the plate, going 3 for 4 with a run and RBI.
Pigg's sac-fly pushes Bowie past Henrietta
BOWIE – Bowie junior Taylor Pigg had a game-winning sacrifice fly in the bottom of the eighth inning in a critical 5-4 victory against District 8-3A foe Henrietta on Friday. The win puts the Jackrabbits (10-13, 5-5) alone in fourth place in the district standings, pending the outcome of Friday’s Paradise-Boyd matchup which wasn’t complete by press time. Henrietta falls to 4-6 in 8-3A and 9-13 overall.
There was one out with runners on the corners when Pigg stepped into the batter’s box. He sent a fly ball out to center field deep enough for Garrett Oakley to tag up and score the winning run from third.
Pigg finished 2 for 5 with two RBIs. Oakley was credited with the win, pitching three shutout innings in relief.
Zack West led Henrietta at the plate, going 1 for 3 with a run and two RBI.
