RECAP

There was no Grapevine team to stand in the way of Lucas Lovejoy this year.

Playing in the finals for the second time in three years, Lovejoy secured state title No. 1 with a 6-2 win against Mission Sharyland on Saturday morning at Dell Diamond in Round Rock.

The previous two years, the Leopards saw the season end at the hands of Grapevine. Last year, it was in the semifinals.

The year prior, was a walkout loss to Grapevine in the finals.

With Grapevine sidelined this year due to using an ineligible player, that opened the door for Lovejoy to be the top team in DFW and the state.

Lovejoy scored 3 in the first inning and never looked back.

MVP Carson Branch drove was credited with 3 RBI on one hit. An RBI single and then a sac bunt led to a run, but a throwing miscue led another run to score, making it 5-1 in the fourth.

Georgia pledge Tyler Scarbrough was solid on the mound for Lovejoy.

He went seven innings and ended the game by catching a pop up near the mound. The right-hander gave up six hits, two runs, fanned six and walked four.

He got six ground ball outs and seven fly outs.

Mission Sharyland added single runs in the second and fifth innings. The Rattlers struggled with four errors in the field.

The pitcher's duel with featured 21 strikeouts and only 9 hits given up by a trio of pitchers.

Shank went 5 2/3 innings, giving up two runs, five hits, fanning 10 and walking four.

Stryker Reed went the final 1 1/3 innings and did not yield a hit for the Longhorns.

The only runs came in the first inning. Hardy Brown had a one-out single and Wyatt Clede had a two-run double. Chris Fry's single to center field scored both, making it 2-0.

Clede had 2 of the Bulldogs' 5 hits.
