Boswell 7, Chisholm Trail 0: Junior Mason Bell threw a two-hit complete game and struck out nine as the Pioneers stayed perfect at 13-0 in District 3-6A on Tuesday night. Boswell has already locked up the district championship and playoff 1-seed. The final regular season game is scheduled for Friday night at Chisholm Trail HS. CT was officially eliminated from playoff contention with the loss. Bell helped his own cause with an RBI in the bottom of the first inning. Senior shortstop Sawyer Farr (Texas A&M commit) blasted a solo home run over the right field wall to extend the lead to 2-0 in the fifth. The Pioneers opened the game wide open with five runs in the sixth. A run came across after a CT error followed by an RBI triple by Xander Thacker. After Farr was intentionally walked, Coby McBride drove a pitch past the infield and into left for an RBI single. The ball got past the left fielder which turned it into a two-base error with another run scored to make it 6-0. Ray Corona hit a sac fly to left for another RBI and the final run of the game.

Denton 6, Argyle 4: The Broncos picked up their biggest win of the season to keep their playoff hopes alive. Denton is fifth place at 5-8.
