WIMBERLEY — Fayetteville baseball took on Medina High School May 10 and won handedly by a final score of 18-0 at Wimberley ISD Fields in an area playoff bout. The Lions had the bats going for the entire game and didn't allow anything on defense and at the mound. "On the pitching, our game plan coming in was to have Jack go and then Chance. Get him an inning and Keagan an inning. They all pitched really well. It looks good going forward from here. We played excellent defense. I don't know if we had an error. We made some good plays. Hitting wise, we talked about being right off the bat. The top of the first inning, let's show we're the better team and we did. Kudos to our guys, they did a really good job at the plate being disciplined and taking what they give us." Sophomore pitcher Jack Schley started the game and pitched three strong innings while connecting with his bat also. "I think it's great everything's falling in line during this time of year," Schley said. "Our bats are hot right now, our pitching's great, we're all finding the zone well. With that type of playing, hitting well and pitching well, we'll be a tough team to beat." Fayetteville took a 5-0 advantage in the top of the second inning and added to their lead with a base hit to left field from Schley to drive in a run and make it 6-0. Schley then advanced to third on a pass ball before being driven in by Chance Konvicka on a sacrifice fly to centerfield, putting it at 7-0. Medina struggled to get the ball across the plate in the Lions' following at bat and Fayetteville took advantage by scoring a few runs on a bunch of pass balls to take a 9-0 lead in the very next inning.
More pass balls and a wild throw one inning later made it 12-0, then Fayetteville junior infielder Easton Jaeger knocked a base hit to left field for a RBI and a 13-0 scoreboard in the top of the fifth inning. Even more wild pitches throughout the rest of Fayetteville's at-bats gave the Lions a 17-0 lead before Konvicka added another sacrifice fly, this time to left field for Fayetteville's final run at 18-0. Two ground outs and a strikeout from Medina in the bottom of the fifth inning sealed a win by mercy rule for Fayetteville with a 18-0 victory.
