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.
Denton beats Rider on walkoff
DENTON - Rider was three outs away from one of its most important wins of the season Saturday night in a makeup game at Denton.
But two costly errors in the seventh inning allowed the Broncos to grab a 3-2 victory over the Raiders, spoiling another strong outing from Maverick Folmar.
Denton trailed 2-1 and was down to its last out with a runner on first when pinch hitter Gobby Aponte doubled and the tying run scored on an error in the outfield. Aponte went to third on an error by the second baseman and scored the winning run on another E4.
The Raiders scored both runs in the third on RBI singles by Ranse Radtke and Hunter Klasse. Folmar allowed only four hits in 6.2 innings, striking out five and allowing zero earned runs.
