(Hallettsville) – Navarro is headed to the third round of the UIL baseball playoffs for the first time since 2017 after sweeping Port Lavaca-Calhoun with an 11-0 win on Thursday and an 8-5 triumph on Friday in a best-of-three area round series at Hallettsville City Park.
The Panthers rediscovered their gap-hitting power against Calhoun, scoring 19 runs on 18 hits with five doubles and a triple after plating just seven with no extra-base hits in the bi-district sweep of Fredericksburg.
“A lot better approach,” Navarro head coach Kris Cavazos said. “We squared up a lot of balls, and the wind wasn’t in our favor like it has been all season long. We hit it on the screws a lot, and were aggressive. We made some plays and made them make plays, and I’m proud of our offensive output this weekend.”
Panthers sweep Fredericksburg in bi-district playoffs, give Cavazos 100th career win
(Geronimo) – Navarro gave head baseball coach Kris Cavazos his 100th career win with a 3-1 road triumph over Fredericksburg on Friday in the first game of their 4A bi-district playoff series, and the Panthers completed the 2-0 sweep with a 4-1 home win on Saturday in Geromino.
The Panthers took a 2-0 lead in the first inning of Game 1 when Tristan Brashears singled in Sam Muniga and Jaxen Monkerud drove in Reece Rojas with a groundout.
Aden Supak scored Kaden Monkerud’s courtesy runner Hunter Monroe with a two-out RBI single to make it 3-0 in the top of the fourth, and the Battlin’ Billies scored their only run on an error in the bottom half of the frame.
