The Pirates won 10-4 against the Indians as they were hoping to get their first district win.

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.

Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Panthers lost another tough game against 2A Muenster on Friday, this one at home.
