Cowgirls face Woodsboro; Cowboys
start series in Hondo
Playoffs continue this week for the D’Hanis
softball team, and begin for the D’Hanis baseball team.
The Cowgirls escaped their opening round
playoff encounter with Ben Bolt easily, crushing the Lady Badgers, 15-1,
Friday evening, May 2, in Cotulla.
With the area playoff victory, the Cowgirls now
advance to the regional quarterfinals, where they’ll take on Woodsboro
Thursday, May 8, in Floresville. Game time is 7 p.m.
Woodsboro, like D’Hanis is a district champion and received a
first-round bye in the playoffs. Woodsboro knocked off the third place
team from D’Hanis' district, Center Point, in a best-of-three series
over the weekend, with a pair of blankings, 4-0 and 9-0.
The winner of the single-game playoff between
the Cowgirls and the Eagles will face either Thorndale or Flatonia in
the regional semifinals.
In baseball, D’Hanis earned a first-round bye
with their District 29-A championship. This week, they too will go up
against Ben Bolt in a best-of-three series which will find them right at
home, and traveling a great distance.
In the opening game of the series, the Cowboys
will have the virtual home field when they face the Badgers at Bridges
Field in Hondo. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Friday. Then the teams will head
to Ben Bolt’s back yard on Saturday, for a 2 p.m. contest in Orange
Grove. If the series needs to go to a third game, it will be played half
an hour after the conclusion of game 2.
The D’Hanis-Ben Bolt winner will face either
La Pryor or Charlotte in the next round of the playoffs. LP and
Charlotte are playing their entire series in Hondo, with a 7 p.m. game
on Thursday, and a 1 p.m. start on Saturday, with a doubleheader on
Saturday, if needed.
Sabinal falls in series
The Sabinal Yellowjackets ended their first
trip to the baseball playoffs with a two-game loss to Johnson City
Friday and Saturday.
The Eagles recorded an 11-4 win at Sabinal on
Friday, and then downed the Jackets, 13-3 on Saturday in Johnson City.
Johnson City, the runner-up in D’Hanis’
district, will now face Bruni in a best-of-three area round series at
Kenedy.
