Each year, Weston High School’s head baseball coach gives his team a lifetime memory by scheduling an out-of-state competitive trip. Two years ago, it was to the “Field of Dreams” in Des Moines, Iowa. Last year, the Wolves went to Disney World in Orlando, FL, to take part in the ESPN Classic. This past weekend WHS traveled to Frisco, TX, to play in Rough Rider Classic at the home of the Texas Rangers AA affiliate where they were pitted against Pitkin, matching up the two top teams in the LHSAA Class B power ratings. While the Wolves players enjoyed their experience, the Wolves bats didn’t travel well.

Top ranked Pitkin won both games over the 2nd ranked Wolves, taking the first game on Friday 7-1 and winning the series ender 3-2 on Saturday, upping the Panthers record to 8-4 and dropping Weston to 13-8 on the year.

Pitkin 7 Weston 1(Friday): The score was 6-0 before the Wolves scored their first run in the bottom of the sixth inning when Ty Henderson hit a two-out single to score Kyptin Caskey, who had opened the frame with one of the three hits Weston got on the day against Pitkin’s ace Gage James. Liam Weaver got the other Wolves hit.

Pitkin 3 Weston 2 (Saturday): A spirited late rally fell just short as the early 3-0 bulge, the Wolves spotted Pitkin after four innings was too much to overcome despite Weston attempting to make a spirited rally by scoring single runs in the top of the 6th and 7th innings, which included leaving the bases loaded in the final frame. Easton Borders led the Wolves offense with 2 of the 6 hits garnered off of Pitkin pitching. Drew Browning hit a double for Weston’s only extra base hit while Ty Henderson, Bryce Tolar and Kyptin Caskey all added singles.

Double Delight! Lady Wolves beat Doyline in 1B Battle

Two doubles each by Carly Jo Griffin, Rachel Bandy and Teegan Hall and another “two bagger” by Molly Boubeouef led the Lady Wolves to 5 runs in the first inning and a season best “12 pack” in the bottom of the second.  With the two inning “mercy rule” victory the Lady Wolves improved to 2-0 in District 1B and 4-10 overall, while Doyline fell to 1-2 and 5-3. Davynee Bearden, Carlynn Waters and Griffin scored two runs each while Hannah Aldy, Tessa Reeves, Boubeouf, Brylee Cuthrull and Gracie Gray all crossed home plate once each.
