Baseball Roundup
Saint Jo baseball
The Saint Jo Panthers got to play several games and picked up a win at the Era tournament during the weekend.
The Panthers went 1-2 as the young team continues to gel together early in the season.
There were few positives to take away from Saint Jo’s first two games against Sam Rayburn (13-0) and Callisburg (9-0) as the Panthers struggled to throw strikes and get on base.
In Saint Jo’s final game against Sacred Heart, the Panthers were able to ride a 13 run inning to a 14-7 win after only three innings.
Devin Stewart led the team with four RBIs and hit a double while Charlie Evans drove in three runs and Logan Hoover drove in two.
Bellevue baseball
The Bellevue Eagles played games against Bryson and Harrold on Friday and Saturday.
While neither game resulted in a win, they were both competitive for an Eagles program that is still very young.
Bellevue first played Bryson and it was the closest game the Eagles have had this season. After Bellevue got on the board first, the Cowboys answered with three runs and led 3-1 heading into the fifth inning.
The Eagles then tied the game with two runs, but Bryson answered with one of its own in the same inning to retake the lead. Bellevue could not answer and the Cowboys won 4-3.
Ryan Jones and Bryce Ramsey each drove in one run. Ramsey led the team with two hits, River Trail drew two walks and Brennan Criswell hit a double to lead the team.
Ramsey pitched the whole game and allowed four runs, one earned, while striking out 11 batters.
The Eagles then played Harrold the next day and lost 5-1 after three and half innings. Brayden Moore scored the one run for Bellevue on the basepaths.
Missing scores
Nocona’s games were canceled due to the girl’s basketball team playing at the state tournament at the same time. The Saint Jo softball team did not have a game scheduled for late last week.
