After suffering a pair of one-run losses last week, and another in their first District 6-4A baseball meeting with the Gatesville Hornets, the Brownwood Lions were finally able to return the favor.
Kris Hobbs drove in all four runs, including the game-winner in the bottom of the seventh inning as the Lions picked up a crucial 4-3 victory over Gatesville in District 6-4A baseball action Tuesday night at Morris Southall Field.
“It’s good to get a win in a one-run game,” said Lions second-year head coach Brian Harris. “The last couple of games we battled really hard and competed pretty well in some spots, but I thought we did a really good job of doing that for a full seven innings tonight.”
