Sinton dropped down to 11-6-1 on Thursday, ending the team's three-game streak of wins. They fell just short of the Calhoun Sandcrabs by a score of 5-4. The Pirates were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Sandcrabs apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in April of 2025.

Connor Davis was cooking despite his team's loss, going 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI. Karsen McCoy also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.

As for Calhoun, the victory made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 10-11-3. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.5 runs over those games.

On Calhoun's side, Demetrio Rodriguez was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over five innings while giving up four earned runs off five hits (and not a single walk). Rodriguez also tossed no walks, which is notable because Calhoun is 3-1 when he allows at most one walk, but 7-10-3 otherwise. Rodriguez was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with one double and one RBI.

Rodriguez wasn't the only one making solid contact as six players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Cayson Laredo, who went 1-for-4 with one run and one RBI.

Coming up, Sinton will take on Ingleside at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The last five games the Mustangs have played have been within two runs, so don't be surprised if it's a close one. As for Calhoun, they will face off against King at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Brahmas have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.86 runs per game on average), something the Sandcrabs will no doubt try to take advantage of.
