Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Panther baseball team had its five-game win streak snapped playing 2A Muenster on Thursday night.
The Hornets won 9-1 against the smaller Panthers team who had been playing well the last several weeks.
Saint Jo had evened up its season series against fellow 1A Perrin-Whitt before reeling off two wins each against 2A schools Chico and Nocona.
Unfortunately, Muenster proved to be a different story.
The Hornets took an early 2-0 lead in the second inning thanks to a two-RBI double.
The third inning proved to be killer as Muenster racked up six runs thanks to six hits and a hit batter to go up 8-0.
Saint Jo struggled getting many hits all game so coming back from eight runs was going to be a tough endevour.
Defensively, the Panthers cycled through three more pitchers the rest of the game to keep the Hornets from getting to comfortable and Muenster scored only one other run the final four innings.
The Panthers did score one run in the bottom of the sixth inning down 9-0.
Matthew Everson drew a leadoff walks. Collin Thomas followed with a single.
A groundout for out one advanced both runners into score position before Mathew Sampson drew another walk to load the bases.
Following a strikeout, a passed ball allowed Everson to come in and score what would be the Panthers only run.
After a scoreless seventh inning, Muenster would win 9-1.
Nocona
The Nocona Indians’ baseball team lost at home on Tuesday against Perrin-Whitt.
The Pirates won 22-5 after four inning due to run rule as the Indians look to get their first district win of the season.
After Perrin-Whitt took an early 1-0 lead in the first inning, Nocona tied the score up in the same inning. Charlie Fuller drove in a run on a two-out double to tie the score 1-1.
The Pirates answered with six runs in the second inning, but Nocona got two of those runs back with its bats.
With two base runners on thanks to walks and two outs, Luke Fuller scored on a passed ball before Walker Murphey drove in the other base runner to cut the lead to 7-3.
The Pirates added four more runs in the third inning to go up 11-3, but Nocona again got a couple of runs back.
Charlie Fuller hit a line drive to centerfield that induced a fielding error that drove in one run. Unable to gather the ball, Fuller made it all the way around the bases to score another run, cutting the lead to 11-5.
Unfortunately, Nocona had a defensive inning from hell in the fourth inning, allowing Perrin-Whitt to double its score before it was all said and done.
After getting through that, any momentum from Nocona was sapped. The Indians failed to score in their next time up to bat and the game ended due to run rule.
The Pirates won 22-5.

Saint Jo hosted its own volleyball tournament Sept. 10-12.

Forestburg’s volleyball team gave visiting Chico a solid test Sept. 8, but the Lady Dragons rebounded from a third-set loss to pull out the 3-1 win (25-23, 25-19, 25-27, 25-19).
The Lady Longhorns got out to a quick start with aces from freshmen Madi Wadsworth and Lacie Shotwell staking the squad to a 4-1 lead in game one. Wadsworth later broke a 4-all tie with a kill.
Addy Conway rolled off four straight points, helped by a Wadsworth kill to give Forestburg an 11-9 lead. Chico took a 16-14 lead but a Brenna Briles ace and Jocelyn Rich’s two points forced Chico into a timeout down 17-19.
The respite worked as it would be Forestburg’s last lead of game one, the Lady ‘Horns not having another serving point.

After splitting the first two games with Vernon Northside, Bowie’s volleyball team turned things out and wound with a 3-1 match win (25-17, 15-25, 25-17, 25-17).
Molly Enlow used two aces amidst a four-point string to give the Lady Rabbits a 5-1 lead in game one. Senior KP Rutherford’s pair of points extended the lead to 8-3.
Northside cut the deficit to 10-11 before Rutherford’s kill broke serve.
Bella Culwell’s point, aided by an Ellie Mowery kill, put Bowie up 13-10. Northside tied the game at 13 before Rutherford came through with another pair for a 17-14 lead. Lillie Maddox also had a deuce for a 20-15 lead and force a Lady INdian timeout.
Northside broke serve but a Sophie Maddox block and Lillie Maddox three-point string gave the squad game point at 24-16. The squads exchanged side outs to end the game.
