Baseball
Bandera finished their home and home series with Canyon Lake Friday at home after suffering a 6-5 loss at Canyon earlier in the week.
After as rainout was called on Tuesday, Bandera hit the road Wednesday to take on the Hawks.
Bandera jumped out to a 3-1 lead after one inning, thanks to a Pat Cizek homer with two runners on and held the lead until the Hawks tied it up in the bottom of the third.
After a scoreless top of the fourth, the home team took a one run lead going into the fifth.
The Bulldogs scored two runs in the top of the inning on a single from Randon Wheeler and a bases loaded squeeze bunt by Caleb Hohon, but Canyon Lake scored one to even things up at 5-5.
The Hawks scored the winning run in the bottom of the seventh to get the win, 6-5.
Friday, things were a little different with the Hawks taking an early lead and extending it with some timely hitting and a few errors, to take a 12-0 decision.
Wheeler went 2 for 3 and Jackson Vogel and Coleton Trenkelbach both went 1 for 2 at the plate. Bandera was charged with nine errors through the four innings of play.
The Bulldogs will finish the season this week, hosting Fredericksburg Tuesday and traveling there on Friday. Game time for both dates is 7 p.m.
