Lady Lion Tori Lee scored on a sacrifice fly in the top of the fourth inning, after reaching base on an infield hit. This cut Center's lead to 2-1.

Lee was hit by a pitch in the top of the sixth inning and Henderson rallied to score three runs in the frame to take a 4-2 advantage.

April 6, 2016 - On Tuesday, April 5th, the Center Roughriders varsity baseball team headed to Carthage's Jim Reeves Memorial Field for their sixth District 19 4A game of the season. The Carthage Bulldog offensive proved to be too much for a young Roughrider team on this day. Carthage won by a lopsided 11-1 score in a game shortened to 4 1/2 innings due to the UIL's ten-run-rule.

The Roughriders couldn't reach base with the their first three batters in the top of the first inning. In the bottom of the inning Carthage used four hits, and a batter hit by a pitch, to take a 3-0 advantage. Center's Logan Mitchell and Mike Ray made good plays in the infield, and pitcher Clay Snider struck out the final Bulldog batter of the inning to minimize the damage. The inning ended with the bases loaded.

Center scored their run in the top of the second inning when Brett Clark reached base by being hit by a pitch, and Marco Gutierrez drove him home with an RBI triple.

Snider struggled in the bottom of the second inning, and the Roughriders saw the base paths loaded twice during the inning. The Bulldogs were able to only add on a single run during the frame however, when Bryan Crawford hit a deep sacrifice fly which scored teammate Seth Ballinger.
Center went into the third inning still within reach, and trailing 1-4.

Center's offense struggled again in the top of the third and Carthage retired the first three batters with their signature polished defensive play.
In the bottom of the third frame, Carthage added four more runs to their total on three walks, a hit, a hit batter, and two errors. Center trailed 1-8.
Chase Lee led of the fourth inning with a lead-off single but that was all Center was able to get going during the stanza.

The Bulldogs added three scores in the bottom of the fourth, and Carthage pitcher Keagan Baldry did the rest as he struck out the first three 'Rider batters he faced in the top of the fifth frame.

Coach Kelly Spann's Roughriders are now 3-3 in conference play and are in third place. Carthage is atop District 19 4A with a 5-1 mark.
The 'Riders have a bye for Friday and will host Woden in a non-district game Saturday at noon at Roughrider Ballpark.

#Tenaha Tigers Finish with 8-13 Victory at Cole #DePriest Ballpark Dedication - Read the story on #ShelbyCountyToday at the following link - http://scttx.com/articles/tigers-finish-8-13-victory-cole-depriest-ballp...

Posted by Shelby County Today on Wednesday, April 6, 2016

 

April 3, 2016 - On Friday April 1, the Tenaha Tigers won their third straight District 23 2A game by beating the Joaquin Rams by a 13-8 score. This happened on a day that their new ballpark was dedicated to the memory of Cole DePriest, the son of Head Tigers Baseball Coach David DePriest. Cole passed away a year ago from injuries sustained from a horse riding accident.

A touching ceremony dedicating the park to DePriests' memory included his sister, Abi DePriest, throwing out the first pitch. After the Tigers upset win, each Tenaha ballplayer copied Cole's signature slide in to home plate in memory of the kid who was a facet in the community and attended most sporting events.

Joaquin started off on top and led 1-0 at the end of the first inning after a Kase Yates RBI single scored Brock Lawson. Tigers pitcher Trevin Stewart was able to strike out the next two Rams batters to minimize the Rams offensive.

Joaquin added three runs in the second inning, and two more in the top of the fourth inning, to take a 7-0 lead. In the bottom of the fourth inning, Tenaha exploded for ten runs of their own to take a 10-7 lead. The Tigers added three more scores in the bottom of the fifth inning and took a 13-7 lead.

Ram, Elezar Huera, scored the final run of the contest in the top of the sixth frame and brought JHS to within 8-13 of Tenaha but Joaquin's attempt at a rally was thwarted by two Tyler Muckelroy strike outs and a nice play on a ground ball by Stewart in the final inning.

Tenaha has moved out of the conference basement by winning their last three contests after starting league play at 0-4.

Joaquin is 5-2 and holds on to second place after a 2-1 Shelbyville loss to Gary.

The two teams will start the second round of district play on Tuesday, April 5, Joaquin heads to Mount Enterprise for a 6:30 pm game with the Wildcats. Tenaha hosts the Gary Bobcats at 4:30 pm.

Coach David DePriest stated, "We are so proud of the kids for staying in the game and fighting back when we were behind. Coach (Wade) Lawson always brings a good team to play and we are fortunate to have been able to keep this game within reach. I'm proud of our players and this was a special day."
