KYLE – The Hays Hawks softball team squared off against the East Central Hornets this weekend, culminating in a tense three-game series before the Hawks won, crowning them as area champions. The games were played on May 6 at San Marcos High School and May 7 at Marion High School.
On Friday, the team started off with a lengthy match with the Hornets nabbing an early lead. The Hawks persevered, and almost pulled a win later in the 7th inning but fell one run short, losing the game 5 – 6.
“Well, I feel like the umpire squeezed us a little bit at the beginning of the game, and my pitcher had to put the ball right over the plate, and we had to make adjustments, and we did make those adjustments,” said head coach Lisa Cone. “We just stuck with it and battled back and, you know, we just fought back. I’m proud of their fight and they’re gonna come back tomorrow and fight.”
