After a run-rule win over Bandera last Tuesday, the Boerne baseball team and the Bulldogs squared off again Thursday, and while the Greyhounds swept Bandera, the Bulldogs put up a much better fight on Thursday.
Boerne claimed Thursday’s contest, 6-4, after winning their previous game over the Bulldogs two days prior, 13-2.
BHS is 16-6 overall and 6-1 in district. Up next, the Hounds take on Fredericksburg with two games this week. They were at Fred Tuesday and host the Battlin’ Billies Friday.
Boe rne never trailed in last Thursday’s game but the Bulldogs were never far behind and there was never much separation between the two.
The Greyhounds scored 2 runs in the top of the second. A single and error put
the first two batters on. A Brooks Perez groundout allowed courtesy runner Drew Coronado to score from third.
A Reese House single also pushed in another courtesy runner, Eli Srp, and Boerne was up 2-0.
Bandera scored a run in the bottom of the second and it was 2-1, and both teams scored a run in the third and it was 3-2. Boerne’s run came when Walker Hill crossed home plate.
In the fourth, Jackson Grimes singled and his courtesy runner, Srp, eventually scored on a Grant Tamplet single and the Hounds were up 4-2.
In the fifth, Hutson Hendrix doubled to start the inning and later scored to bump Boerne’s lead to 5-2, but the Bulldogs fired back with 2 runs in the bottom of the inning after their first four batters reached and they trimmed the BHS advantage to a run at 5-4.
The Greyhounds picked up an insurance run in the top of the seventh after Hill walked to start the frame. Hendrix was hit by a pitch to move Walker to second. An intentional walk to load the bases backfired on the Bulldogs after they walked Ryan Hooper. The next batter, Jackson Grimes, was unintentionally walked, to score Hill and Boerne was leading 6-4.
Once it went to the bottom of the seventh, the Bulldogs loaded the bases via three walks but there were two outs and groundout to first baseman Hudson McNew ended it.
Boerne finished with 9 hits, a double by Hendrix, who also scored, Hill recorded 2 singles and scored twice, Dylan Perez plated a run, Hooper and Grimes both singled and walked once, with Grimes picking up an RBI.
Brooks Perez collected an RBI, House singled, walked and drove in a run and Tamplet hit 2 singles and pushed in a run.
Grimes went 4 innings and picked up the win. He gave up 1 hit, 1 earned run, 4 walks and fanned 6.
Braden Ramirez pitched and faced 4 batters and Srp closed it out and threw the final three innings and didn’t yield a hit or run to go with 3 walks and 5 Ks.
