Hounds fall to Sinton as Merrell ends 44-year coaching career

Boerne High’s Bill Merrell ended his coaching career last Friday night in Corpus Christi against Sinton to cap a crazy day at Whataburger Field.

After dropping Game 1 to Sinton on Thursday in San Antonio at Wolff Stadium, the Greyhounds won Game 2 Friday afternoon, 8-5, in nine innings to force a third game later that night. It was a wild second game that featured two player ejections and two assistant coaches being tossed.

Once that third game started, the Hounds and Pirates played until about 11 p.m. before Sinton closed out the Boerne season and Merrell’s career with a score of 9-0 to end seven hours of baseball.
