Lockhart waltzed into their match on Friday with four straight wins... but they left with five. They put the hurt on Kenedy with a sharp 9-3 victory. While Lockhart didn't have the best season last year (they finished 10-18-1), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.

Santiago Guerra made a splash while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching 2.1 innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. He also tossed no walks, which is notable because Lockhart is undefeated when he allows at most one walk, but 2-4 otherwise. Guerra was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-3.

In other batting news, Lockhart got a big performance out of Waylon Phillips, who scored a run while going 2-for-3. What's more, Phillips posted two RBI, the most he's had since back in February of 2024. Parker Conner was another key player, scoring a run while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances.

Lockhart's win bumped their record up to 6-4. As for Kenedy, their loss dropped their record down to 7-4.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Lockhart will host Lehman at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. This will be Lockhart's first chance to prove their worth in the conference. As for Kenedy, they will face off against Agua Dulce at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. Kenedy's pitching crew has only allowed four runs per game this season, so Agua Dulce's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
