12-5A BASEBALL: Horn takes down Skeeters for first district win

Published: Friday, March 15, 2013 10:17 PM CDT
Horn and Mesquite each entered Friday's 12-5A game needing a win after 0-2 starts.


It is the Jaguars who will be able to enjoy their weekend while the Skeeters continue their search after Horn's 7-1 victory at Tillery Field.

The Jaguars improve to 1-2 in 12-5A with Mesquite remaining winless at 0-3.

Horn's Mason Jordan did the job on the mound to get the win. Carlos Chavez and Trey Leblanc had doubles, but they were two of only three hits for the Skeeters, who have scored just two runs total in three district games.

Brian O'Bannon had an extra base hit for the Jaguars, who pounded out 10 hits after being shut out in their last game.

North Mesquite won after getting only two hits in its last outing against Tyler Lee, but could not pull off the same feat on Friday in an 11-1 loss to Rockwall.

The Stallions, who are now 1-1 in 12-5A, got a double from Cameron Henderson but that was about it.

The Yellow Jackets provided plenty of offense, highlighted by home runs by Dustin Angiel and Skyler Bean, as they improved to 2-1 in district and leapfrogged a group of teams into second place.

Rockwall-Heath is 3-0 and the lone undefeated team in 12-5A after outlasting Longview in nine innings for a 5-4 win.

Mesquite will lock horns with North Mesquite on Tuesday at 4 p.m. at Copeland Field with neither team wanting to fall too far off the leading pace.

Horn will try to follow up its win when it hosts Longview at 6 p.m. at Tillery Field.
