Lennard 6, #2 Sickles 2

For four years, Lennard senior Zack Bird has been steady and reliable for the Longhorns surpassing the 100 innings mark at the varsity level early in the season. On Tuesday, after the Longhorns dropped a Saladino Saturday game against Plant City, Bird was given the task of keeping the Longhorns tourney hopes alive against the defending state champion Sickles Gryphons – and the veteran lefty more than lived up to the challenge working around two unearned runs and two hits, spinning a complete game with seven strikeouts.

“Zack commanded the strike zone with al the pitches tonight and battled,” Longhorns head coach Vic Martinez said. “He is someone who, over four years, that has wanted the ball in big games.”

Sickles took a lead in the second when Thomas Bly singled to lead off the half-inning, before an error moved him to third and he scored on a double-steal.

The Longhorns answered after a single from Sebastian Rojas and a Mattie Counts double put a runner 90 feet away, and a Gryphons error gave away the lead. RJ Torres singled in a run in the sixth to give the Longhorns the lead, and Lennard built on it with a Cole Montgomery RBI single to put the game out of reach. Torres added a second RBI hit in Lennard’s three-run seventh.

The loss spoiled a solid outing from Sickles senior Carter LeBlanc, who struck out nine in six innings of work; and Cameron Guise scored Jordan Yost (single) with a sac fly in the sixth.

#8 Gaither 5, Plant City 1

Gaither’s Zach Callahan limited Plant City to a single run through X innings of work, allowing four hits and striking out six. The Cowboys jumped out to an early lead on a bases loaded walk and a Ryder Warriner single. SJ Branham hit an RBI double, and Angel Hernandez and Josh Choe drove in runs. Jake Carbaugh was tagged with the loss allowing four earned runs, but struck out eight in four innings, while also doubling in a run for the Raiders.
