Schulenburg baseball falls to Kenedy despite late comeback

MARION - The Schulenburg High School baseball team went down in an area playoff matchup to Kenedy High School May 11 at Bulldogs Field in Marion by a final score of 11-7. The game was postponed until the next day due to storms and Schulenburg was able to gain some momentum, but Kenedy scraped up a few more runs down the stretch to come out on top. "It was one of those things when lightning blows in, it went in our favor," said Schulenburg head baseball coach Isaiah Barrera. "Just because we didn't have the momentum on Thursday. Lightning struck, we just had to go to the next day and ended up coming back and overcoming it a little bit. It carried into Saturday." Kenedy took a 6-0 lead going into the top of the third inning and threatened to score more in their next at bat with a bases loaded jam after Schulenburg's Bryce Stoever came into pitch that was maintained by the Shorthorns with an out by fielder's choice and fly out to right field to keep the score at 6-0. Kenedy didn't add to the tally again until the top of the fifth inning when they hit a double down the left field line that scored a run after a base hit. Schulenburg was able to get on base in the next inning with a hit down the left filed line, but the game was called due to lightning and heavy storms. The game resumed Saturday and Schulenburg put forth a nice rally, but Kenedy's run support in the final innings won them the game at 11-7.
