The Cavaleirs played another extra inning game, but came up short to the Panthers in 8 innings.  It was a tight affair heading into the 7th, when the Panthers got a solo home run to take a 3-2 lead.  The Cavs got a break in the bottom of the 7th, Luke Rosson scored on a throwing error by the second baseman.  With the game tied 3-3, the Panthers broke it open with a 6 run inning in the top of the 8th.  The first 2 batters reached on errors to start off the 8th inning.  The Panthers then scored on a pass ball and a subsequent single to take the lead 5-3.  The Pathers were then able to load the bases with 3 consecutive singles and a hit batter to extend the lead to 6-3.  The Cavs got a line drive out and apparent double play at first to end the inning, but the home plate umpire overturned the call.  The controversial call left the Panthers with the bases loaded and 2 outs.  The next batter doubled to left center clearing the base pads and taking a 9-3 lead.  The Cavs were unable to answer in the bottom of the 8th.

Brandon Garza threw 7 innings giving up 4 hits, 7 walks, and 7 strike outs in the no decision.  Tyler Givens gets the loss pitching 1 inning, giving up 4 runs on 4 hits.  The Cavaleirs collected four hits on the evening from Garza, Cameron, Rosson, and Mann (RBI).  The Klein Oak pitchers struck out 12 CP batters and walked 4.  The Cavs committed 4 errors in the game which proved costly.  

The Cavs will return to action on Friday night at Klein Cain 7:00 pm

Varsity lost 8-5 at Oak Ridge on a windy Tuesday evening.  Arkansas commit Trey Valka threw 101 pitches over 6 innings, giving up 5 hits and stiking out 6.  The Cavaliers had some opportunities, but didn't take advantage of them at the plate.  Brandon Garza led the Cavs going 2 for 3 on the evening.  Billy Decker, Luke Rosson, and Evan Cameron each had hits.  The Cavs stranded 4 men on base with 3 in scoring position.  Brandon Garza and Tyler Givens each threw 3 innings facing the War Eagles.  They combined giving up 8 hits, 4 K's, and walked 4.  The Cavaliers could not overcome multiple errors in the field and base running played a factor in the loss.  The Cavs get a break in the schedule, but it doesn't get any easier when they play 5A power Brenham on Saturday.  They will return to district play next Tuesday at Klein Oak.
