Game #4 - Win 9-1 ( Mission Veterans) Junior Pitcher Logan Verrett (1-0) threw a 2 hitter and struck out 13 batters while walking 2 batters in route to his first win of the season. The only run scored by Mission was unearned.

Game #5 - Win - 10-0 ( Edinburg North) Sophomore Jordan John (1-0) flirted with a no-hitter for 4 innings and struck out 10 batters while senior Steven Vidaurri, a Texas State signee, hit his second home run of the season.

Game #6 - Loss 6-1 ( Mission Sharyland) Sophomore Adam Hoelscher (0-1) lasted only 3+ innings before Kristian Bueno came in and shut down the Rattlers. Bueno struck out 7 batters over the last 3+ innings and put the fire out, but the damage had already been done.

EXTRA

Calallen defeats Gregory-Portland in its first game at Whataburger Field Senior Ryan Duke, a future Oklahoma Sooner, garnered his second win on the season in a 3 inning outing, racking up 7 strikeouts. Senior Sean Hoelscher, senior David DeLeon and junior Logan Verrett each pitched one inning of relief and combined with Duke for a 10-0 shutout of the rival GP Wildcats. GP was held to 4 hits. Multiple Calallen batters belted doubles and sacrifice flies in the 6 inning game called early due to the mercy rule and totaled up 10 hits. Duke (2-0) now has 25 strikeouts and no earned runs in 2 games as starting pitcher and continues his climb up all of the Calallen pitching record lists. Calallen pitchers now have 4 shutouts in 8 games.
