GONZALES – This time, No. 1 La Grange had more work to do to get past Gon-zales.

The Lady Leopards had to come back from an early 1-0 Gonzales lead and a 5-5 game in the fifth inning, and still had to hold the Lady Apaches off late, man-aging to win 10-7 Tuesday night at Lady Apache Field.

In the previous game in La Grange, the Lady Leop-ards won in a 14-4 mercy ruling, but the score was significantly closer this time around as Gonzales played extremely competi-

tive.“We kept our heads up

and competed at a high level,” Lady Apaches head coach Holli Miller said. “We also worked together as a team.”

“I thought we did good, going 10-7 with them,” starting pitcher Tori Lester said.

Gonzales’ effort at the plate was sparked by back-to-back home runs by Carly Bozka and Kristeney Magallanes during action in the fifth inning.

“They have been working very hard at hitting,” Miller said. “And their result of their practice could not have come at a better time

in a game.”This was Bozka’s second

straight game with a home run as she had a grand slam in Friday’s 17-2 win against Smithville.

The Lady Apaches de-fense opened the game by catching three straight fly balls. Catcher Morgan Simper, the second batter, was hit by the pitch to take first. She went to second on Bozka’s single and moved to third on the error.

Two batters later, Sibil Philippus singled to left field to bring Simper home for a 1-0 Gonzales lead.

VICTORIA — Gonza-les senior golfer Ryan Lee had the chance to matchup to the defending Class 3A individual state champion in Smithville’s Craig Zim-merhanzel Monday and Tuesday in the 26-3A Dis-trict tournament held at The Club at Colony Creek in Victoria.

Lee won second medal-ist while Zimmerhanzel got first, edging Lee out 158-159. Zimmerhanzel outshot Lee 76-81 on Mon-day and Lee came back on

Tuesday with a four-stroke edge, 78-82.

Gonzales was crowned district champions for the second straight year af-ter beating second-place La Grange, 723-705. The Apaches shot 358 on the first day and improved by 11 strokes on the second day.

It was also the third dis-trict title out of four tries for seniors Lee and Keaton Smith.

Grayson Meredith of Gonzales was fourth med-alist with a 163 and he was followed by Heath Kristek of Yoakum with a 176. The Yoakum Bulldogs came in

third place with 390 and 394 for 784 and the Cuero Gobblers finished fourth with an 810 score (411 and 399).

Cuero won the girls di-vision with 393 and 407 to equal 800 and Yoakum was runner up with 852 (431 and 421). The Lady Apach-es came in third place with 857 (435 and 422).

Cuero’s Mary Kate Krueger was second med-alist with 89 and 92 for 181, and teammate Chelsea Veit carded a 185 for fourth medalist and Beth Moehl-man of Yoakum won fifth medalist with a 186.

GONZALES – Barely anything went wrong for the Apaches baseball team Friday night in their 10-0 win in six innings against the Smithville Tigers, the first district win for Gonza-les this season.

The Apaches (7-15, 1-4) did every aspect of the game near perfect against the Tigers (5-14, 0-5). They got 14 hits, including back-to-back home runs in the first inning.

Gonzales hurler Tyler Janota was very effective as he held Smithville to one hit and had 14 strikeouts, with one walk and one bat-ter hit, both coming late in the game.

“Tyler pitched a gem to-night,” Apache head coach Larry Wuthrich said. “He gave his teammates every chance to win. He had just a few base runners, but most of them were in the sixth inning.”

The Apache defense was nearly flawless, with one minor error in the sixth in-ning but it was a no-factor because of the sheer num-ber of hits the Apaches col-lected at the plate.

“When you hit the ball, you put yourself in a good position to win the game,” Wuthrich said. “You can forgive a couple of mis-takes.”

The majority of the Apache lineup got hits, with catcher Devin Benes going 4-for-4 with a home run, three RBIs, two runs and two doubles.

“In practice, Devin works as hard as any player in high school baseball,” Wuthrich said. “He deserved getting those hits tonight.”

“We hit the ball hard and we hit when we had men on base. We got clutch hits.”

Janota started well as he had three straight strike-outs on the Tigers to open the game.

Aaron Gaytan got a lead-off walk, Trey Krider flew out to left field and Benes smacked the ball over the center field wall for the 2-0 Gonzales lead.

D.J. Gonzales followed suit with his solo home run over the wall and Gonzales held a 3-0 margin after the first inning.

In the top of the sec-ond, Bryce Helmcamp got Smithville’s lone hit with a double to center field. Chayce Foster moved him

to third on the sacrifice and Janota struck out the next batter to retire the side.

It was three up and three down for both teams un-til the bottom of the third when Benes singled.

The Apaches doubled their lead in the fourth frame — the Tigers quickly worked for two outs. Dal-ton Kuntschik took base after being hit by Helm-camp. He stole second and went to third on the single by Dylan Gomez. Gomez stole second and went to third on the same passed ball that scored Kuntschik.

Gaytan’s hit to left field brought Gomez home. Kridler singled and Gaytan went home on the double by Benes.

In the top of the fifth, Janota got his third inning of three straight strikeouts. In the bottom of the in-ning, Zach Perez-Clack and Janota got a base hit. Chad Morrey came on to relive Helmcamp on the bump.

Later, Kuntschik was walked to load the bases. Gomez’s hit scored Perez-Clack and Janota scored on the fielder’s choice out on Kuntschik, who was tossed out at third.

The Gonzales Apaches track team ran in the Yor-ktown meet on Thursday, their last meet of the season before this week’s district meet in Giddings.

The junior varsity won their division and the var-sity placed fourth out of 12 teams.

For the JV Apaches, Mark Perez placed third in the triple jump; Jose Contre-ras came third in the shot put and D. J. Gonzales was runner up in the 400-meter dash, third the long jump and finished fourth in the 200.

Ernan Hernandez placed third in the 800; Zach Akers placed third the 110 hurdles and sixth in the triple jump; Travis Schauer placed third in the 110 hurdles; Colby Cantu placed fifth in the 800 meter run and fourth in the 1,600; and Brant Philippus placed second in both the 100 and the long jump, and won the 200.

Max Moreno was runner up in the 3,200 and in the 1,600. The team of Perez, Cameron Horton, Joshua Malaer, and Jaime Tellez placed third in the 400 relay and fourth in the 800 relay.

The team of Mark Perez, Trent Schauer, Zach Akers, and D J Gonzales placed second in the 4x400 meter relay.

In varsity action, Zach Perez-Clack placed fifth in the discus and second in the shot put; and Alyas Ramirez came in fourth in the long jump.

Ashton Williams came in third in the 800, and Thompson Ince placed sixth in the 400 and third in the pole vault. The team of Troy Hernandez, Chris Cerda, Marco Rodriguez, and Tyshawn Erskin placed second the 800 relay and won the 1600 relay.

The Gonzales JV and varsity Lady Apaches each took first place out of 11 teams in their divisions.

Lady Apaches thump Smithville

The Gonzales softball team beat the Smithville Lady Tigers, 17-2, in four innings on Friday to raise their district record to 2-5.

Carly Bozka led the of-fensive effort as she was

2-for-4 with a grand slam and a stolen base. Shayla Simper was 2-for-3 with a walk and stolen base and Cassidy La Fleur was 2-for-3 with one walk and one stolen base. Lindsey Akers was walked three times and pitched for Gonzales with six strikeouts, two runs and three hits.

Flatonia softball rallies for win against Shiner

Going into the bottom of the seventh, the Flatonia Lady Bulldogs trailed Shin-er 6-5 when Katie Stein-hauser drove in the tying run with two outs.

In the bottom of the ninth, Taylor Williams got a walkoff, three-run homer to give Flatonia the 9-6 win and the season split with the Lady Comanches.

Williams was 3-for-5 with two home runs and seven RBI, Steinhasuer was 1-for-3 with one RBI and Crystal Rodriguez was 2-for-5 with a triple and two runs scored.

the top of the second, but La Grange picked it up in the third inning. Madi-son Becka got a leadoff hit and Riley Fishbeck moved her runner Breanna Ahlschlager to second on the sacrifice groundout to Lester. Ahlschlager reached third on a wild pitch and Libby Reed was walked for corners. Alyssa Angel then tripled into right field to score both runners. Becca Proske scored Angel on the base hit.

La Grange went ahead 5-1 in the top of the fourth, starting with a leadoff, solo home run by Madi-son Knesek. Becka was walked and a base hit by Angel was enough to score Ahlschlager.

The Lady Apaches closed down to 5-2 in the bottom of the inning. Philippus started things with a hit beyond the second-third baseline, Lester reached on an error and Philippus went home on the double by Cas-sidy La Fleur.

The Lady Apaches brought the game to an even standing in the bot-tom of the fifth. Simper got a double on the leadoff. Bozka then blasted the ball over the wall in left field, bring the Lady Apaches to within 5-4. Magallanes then sent a pitch over the right field wall for the tie game.

La Grange answered with five runs on the board in the sixth inning. Reed reached on an error and went to third on the extra-base hit by Angel. Proske put the ball into play and Gonzales

went for the fielder’s choice on Reed, trying to trap her between third and home. Reed was able to get back to third and was called safe despite appearing to come off the base line during the play, prompting the Gonza-les coaching staff to ques-tion the call.

Breanna Homer scored Reed on the sacrifice fly ball and Angel got home on the infield single by Brianna Angel. Kristi Bertsch then drove Proske, Brianna An-gel and herself home with a shot over the left field wall.

However, Gonzales was not finished changing the scoreboard.

Simper got on base with a walk and moved to third on the error by La Grange on Bozka’s hit. Philippus got a double to left field to score Simper and Bozka, bring-ing Gonzales within 10-7.

Gonzales travels to Gid-dings tomorrow and hosts Yoakum on Tuesday to close out the season.

“Our goal is to win both of those games,” Miller said. “And for our girls to come out with their heads high.”

Miller said that despite a 2-6 district record, Gonza-les has not been mathemat-ically eliminated from the playoffs.
