The Falcons then brought in six in the second inning, highlighted by an RBI double by LaViolette and an RBI double by Russell. LaViolette then homered in the third before coming back to the plate and hitting a triple to complete his cycle in just three innings, as Tompkins led 18-0.

The Falcons then closed things out with a bases loaded walk, bases loaded hit by pitch, an RBI single from Michael DeBattista, and a Solomon Rotberg RBI single as Tompkins waltzed to the win.

Katy holds off Cinco Ranch

Katy got out to an early lead and was able to hold on for a 4-2 win over Cinco Ranch, earning a big victory in District 19-6A play.

Lucas Moore once again was in the middle of things for the Tigers, as the junior pitcher allowed just one earned run on seven hits over 6.2 innings, while striking out seven and walking three to earn the victory.

Neither team scored in the first before the Katy offense made its presence felt in the second inning. A walk started the inning, and Cinco Ranch was able to get two quick strikeouts after that, but Cameron Stukenborg followed that up with a home run to get the Tigers on the board and Graham Laxton then came around to score on an error to make things 3-0.

Katy and Cinco traded scoreless innings from there until the top of the fifth. Parker Kidwell led off with a single for the Tigers, and after advancing to third base, Cole Kaas drove Kidwell in with a single.

Cinco fought back and tried to get back into the game. In the bottom of the sixth Ethan Muniz hit a triple to lead off the inning, and Charlie Atkinson drove him in on a single. Gavin Rutherford followed that up with another single, but Katy got a line out and a double play to escape the inning without further damage.

Then in the seventh, Muniz drove in a run on a single, trimming the lead to two. But Bryaden Powers came in and struck the last batter of the game out to secure the win and get a save.

Zach Royse took the loss for Cinco, throwing five innings and allowing three earned runs on six this while striking out and walking six as well.
