(Seguin) — The Navarro Panthers are district champions.
Navarro wrapped up the District 28-4A title Tuesday with a 3-2 come-from-behind victory over San Antonio Kennedy.
Ryan Davidson started on the mound for the Panthers and worked 6⅔ innings to earn the win. His older brother Austin came on in relief and struck out the final batter with the tying run on second base to end the threat.
The Panthers trailed 2-0 heading into the top of the third inning when Drew Mundine connected on a two-out, two-run homer to tie the game. Austin Davidson — who had singled earlier in the inning — scored on the blast.
Still tied at 2 in the fifth, Mundine drew a walk with one out. The freshman stole second, then advanced to third on a Ryan Davidson sacrifice fly. With two outs, Bayley Burgess singled home Mundine to give Navarro its first lead of the game — and the Davidson brothers made sure it held up.
Navarro finished district play with a 9-1 record. The Panthers advance to the UIL bi-district round next Thursday.
(San Antonio) — The Seguin Matadors can clinch a district title today.
The Mats are 12-0 in District 27-5A and have already secured at least a share of the crown. Seguin is hosting San Antonio Lanier this afternoon in a game that was originally scheduled to be played at Lanier High School. A win by the Mats clinches the district title outright. First pitch is set for 5 o’clock at Matadors Legends Ballpark. Seguin will enter the bi-district round of the playoffs next week.
(Marion) — The Marion Bulldogs clinched their district title last week.
Marion went 10-0 in District 27-3A to cap an undefeated district season. The Bulldogs will host Schulenburg on Thursday before traveling to Cuero on Friday in a pair of playoff tune-up games. Marion then opens a best-of-three bi-district series against Crystal City next Thursday.
