Highs and lows
fter seeing most of their pitching exhausted in the first
two games all Muenster wanted was a chance at a game three against the
Dodd City Hornets in the regional quarterfinal round of the state
baseball playoffs - and they got it.
Muenster rallied in the top of the seventh inning in game two to tie
the game and then won it in the eighth, 8-7 to force a game three. But
in a day that had it’s share of highs and lows the Muenster arms just
could not hold up in the third game, falling 8-1 and ending the
Hornets season.
