Lockhart had to endure a nine-game losing streak, but that streak is no more. They came out on top in a nail-biter against the Cedar Park Timberwolves on Friday, sneaking past 8-6. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Lions have posted since February 14th.

Lilly Villarreal was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run over four innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 2-for-4.

In other batting news, Marissa Sosa was excellent, going 1-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and two RBI. Presli Moebes was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-4.

Lockhart kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.

Lockhart's victory was their first in the district, bumping their district record up to 1-4 and their overall record up to 3-10. As for Cedar Park, they are on a 24-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-9.

Lockhart and Cedar Park could both be facing uphill battles in their next games considering their disadvantage in the MaxPreps Texas Rankings. Lockhart will take on Leander at 2:00 p.m. on Monday down 613 places (703 vs. 90). Lockhart is no doubt hoping to put an end to a four-game streak of away losses. Similarly, Cedar Park (ranked 936th) will meet Glenn (ranked 240th) at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. Lockhart has given up an average of 8.9 runs per game this season, so hopefully the team got some pitching drills in this week.
