JOHNSON CITY—The visit here for a tournament, March 4-5, turned out better than the opening game on the new diamond—more on that later.
The softball Jackets played the host school in the opener and lost 8-5. Sydney Hicks drove in two runs with a single, and Kendall Wenzel stroked a two-run homer.
Catcher Kamri Thompson threw out a runner going to third and another one attempting to steal second.
A no-hitter is a rarity, okay? Seven in the major leagues in close to 2,500 games in 2015. A triple play was even more shy: twice it happened in ’15. What are the odds for BOTH in the SAME DAY by the SAME team? 100,000-to-one? And Llano is that team!
Isn’t Hill Country Classic a proper name for the tournament, where the Jackets authored a pair of classics, Thursday, March 3.
