Nocona
The Nocona Indians lost a tough game on Friday at Perrin-Whitt.
The Pirates won 10-4 against the Indians as they were hoping to get their first district win.
After a scoreless first inning, Perrin-Whitt scored seven runs over the next three innings to lead 7-0 until the sixth inning.
Nocona’s bats then got going as Charlie Fuller drove in one run with a single followed by Konor Harrington who drove in two more with a base hit. Luke Fuller’s hit to center field induced a fielding error that allowed one more run to come in and score.
The Indians had cut the lead to 7-4.
Unfortunately, the Pirates got most of the runs and more importantly the momentum back by scoring three runs, upping their lead to 10-4 heading into the final inning.
Nocona would need a huge offensive inning and got two runners on base thanks to drawn walks with one out. Unfortunately, the next two batters were retired as Perrin-Whitt closed the game, winning 10-4.
Nocona finished with only four hits, but drew four walks and were hit by three pitches while taking advantage of the Pirates one fielding error to score a run.
Unfortunately, defensively the Indians allowed 13 hits and committed five fielding errors which allowed more runs to be scored.
Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Panthers lost another tough game against 2A Muenster on Friday, this one at home.
The Hornets won 11-0 after four and half innings due to run rule as the Panthers struggled against one of the district’s top 2A teams.
Saint Jo finished with only one hit in the game from Matthew Everson while Caleb Workman and Mathew Sampson each drew two walks. One fielding error from Muenster allowed the only other base runner for the Panthers as Saint Jo struggled offensively.
Defensively for the Panthers, the Hornets racked up 12 hits, with four being extra base hits which was the main way Muenster scored its runs.
The Hornets scored five runs in the first inning, one in the second, three in the third inning and two in the fourth inning.

Nocona gets delivered new press box
Nocona got its new press box into place this week at Jack Crane Stadium. The old press box, which was in place for more than 60 years, was taken out in early June and moved to Indian Valley Raceway. The new press box was by the Southern Bleacher Company out of Graham. Athletic Director Black Crutsinger said they looked at a lot of press boxes and decided they liked the one at Lindsay High School and went with that model. Sean Hutson operated the crane from the Hurd Crane Service that put the press box up for Nocona.
