RECAPS
TROPHY CLUB – For the better part of the past 20 years, the Keller softball team has always been the team to beat in district play. Byron Nelson defeated Keller 7-5 in the first meeting and was looking to complete the sweep at home on Tuesday night.
The Bobcats erased an early 2-0 deficit to beat the Indians 10-6 in a District 4-6A contest at Byron Nelson High School. They improved to 26-3-1 overall and 10-2 in district with 4 games left in the regular season. Keller fell to 20-9-1 overall and 9-4 in 4-6A.
Byron is in second – a half game back of Keller Timber Creek (11-2).
Keller is in fourth – 2 games ahead of Southlake Carroll (7-6).
The Indians took a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning. After getting back-to-back hits, Texas Tech signee Sydona Meiser hit an RBI single and was followed by Landry Beaman’s RBI sac-fly to right field.
But the lead didn’t last long as the Bobcats tied it in the bottom half of the inning.
Three walks in the inning turned into a 2-run single to center for Elle Dearing.
Byron Nelson took a 7-2 lead after 4 innings. In the bottom of the third, the Bobcats took the lead on a bases-loaded walk. Then Brooklyn Hanson hit a long fly ball to right for an RBI sac-fly and Courtney Julian ripped a pitch to left field for an RBI single.
On the play, the ball bounced away from the Keller left-fielder, scoring a second run and making it 6-2 before Julian was tagged at second base. Hanson slid into third for a triple to right center in the fourth and then scored on Bryson Farco’s single to center that gave Byron Nelson a 5-run advantage.
In the top of the fifth inning, Meiser hit a lead-off home run that hit the right-field pole to pull Keller within 7-3. The Indians added a second run in the frame on an RBI single to left field from Tinslee Cribbs that scored Beaman from second base.
Keller continued to rally with 2 more runs in the top of the sixth with Addi Clark’s 2-run single into right and the Byron Nelson lead was cut down to 7-6. The Bobcats got 3 insurance runs in the bottom of the sixth highlighted by an RBI double from Mackenzie Nelson.
The Bobcats had 12 runners in scoring position and left 5 runners on base.
The Indians also had 12 in scoring position with 7 left on base.
===========================================
Richland takes down Birdville
Richland completed the sweep over cross-town rival Birdville 8-2 in District 6-5A on Tuesday night at Birdville High School. Richland beat Birdville 7-5 at home earlier this season.
Angelo State commit Stacy Jennings allowed just 1 hit in a complete-game effort and struck out 9 while walking 9 as well. Jennings walked the bases loaded in the bottom of the first inning, but had 3 strikeouts in the inning to keep it scoreless.
Kennedy Parry had a lead-off walk in the top of the second inning for Richland and advanced to third 2 batters later on a Lauryn Gamez single to right. Parry scored on the next at-bat with a Sofia Hernandez grounder in the infield.
Birdville had 2 more on base in the second before Jennings got a short pop fly to end the inning.
Another infield grounder turned into an RBI with Alyssa Flores driving in Sam Aguilar in the Richland third to give the Royals a 2-0 lead. Jennings had a clean inning in the fourth by striking out the side in order.
Richland extended the lead to 4-0 in the fifth with back-to-back infield RBI singles from Flores and Mia Berain.
The Hawks cut the deficit in half in the bottom of the fifth after Jennings issued back-to-back walks before Avery Rodriguez hit a 2-run double to right that made it 4-2.
Richland got some insurance in the top of the seventh with a RBI single from Gamez followed by an RBI fielder’s choice by Hernandez. Maty Quick capped the inning off with a 2-run double to right that pushed the lead to 8-2.
Birdville had 10 total runners on base with 4 in scoring position.
The Hawks stranded 9 on base.
Both teams have clinched a playoff spot with Richland at 27-2 overall and 10-0 in 6-5A. The Royals locked up a district title and the #1 seed in the D1 playoff bracket.
Birdville is 12-11-1 overall and second in the standings at 7-2.

Carroll (18-12 overall, 7-6 district) holds on to fifth place, 2 games behind Keller (20-9-1, 9-4) and 2 1/2 games behind Eaton (22-6-1, 9-3).

Southwest Christian rallies for win over All Saints
Fort Worth Southwest Christian scored 3 runs in the bottom of the seventh to stun All Saints 4-3 in a TAPPS Division II District 1 game on Tuesday at Southwest Christian School.
Southwest Christian (12-6 overall, 2-2 district) loaded the bases in the bottom of the seventh when the first three batters reached on back-to-back errors and a single to center by Belle Bernardy. With one out, Emma Rodwell delivered a single that drove in 2 to tie the game 3-3.
Madeleine Donovan walked it off on an infield single to second that drove in Bernardy. Rodwell, Bernardy and Jaquelyn Regalado had 2 hits each for Southwest Christian.
All Saints (9-9, 0-4) Heidi Peterson, a North Carolina State signee, was 2 for 3 with an rbi and a run scored for the Saints and took the tough loss allowing 1 earned run in 6 1/3 innings with 11 strikeouts.
Country Day no-hits THESA
Maddie Richey tossed a no-hitter with 13 strikeouts as Fort Worth Country Day blanked Fort Worth THESA 3-0 in non-conference game on Tuesday at Country Day School.
Richey, a Boston College commit, walked one in her first no-no of the season. Country Day (7-2) got a leadoff triple by Ryliegh Hall, a Stephen F. Austin commit, to lead off the fifth and came home on an infield single by Roeser Thomas.
Martha Lynker had an rbi ground out and Hall drove in a run with a single in the sixth. Hall finished 2 for 3 at the plate.
