The Redhawks took on the Walnut Gove Wildcats Tuesday for the first time. Projected to be a tough competitor, the Wildcats lived up to the expectation with the Redhawks losing 3-1.
“Kids fought hard, came up a little short,” head coach Scott McGarrh said. “Not upset with their effort, just got beat, made a couple mistakes, made one bad pitch, one bad play defensively, and you know, didn’t execute one or two times at the plate and that’s the difference.”
Even though the team did not get the results they were looking for, the Redhawks still found some success.
“I think that we did a great job defensively against Walnut Grove,” senior Wes Weaks said. “They put some hard balls in play that we were able to make good plays on to keep us in the game.”
