The Hughes Springs Mustangs baseball team advanced to the regional quarterfinal round of the class 3A state playoffs with two wins over New Diana this past weekend. Hughes Springs won the three games series, 2-0.

The Mustangs won the first game Friday night 3-2, thanks in large part to timely hitting and some clutch pitching. Before exiting the game early, Harrison Reagan was credited with an RBI, and Austin Bruce had an RBI as well in the win. Reagan was thrown out of the game attempting to score. The umpire at the plate deemed Reagan’s move to be a violation of running into the catcher and sent him to the showers in the second inning.

With a record of 27-3, the Lady Mustangs have accomplished what many teams in Texas would only dream of doing. But for the girls that take the field and put it all out there, the Lady Mustangs feel like they are far from finished. With a fire that no one can extinguish, the team seems to be hitting their stride.

The Hughes Springs Lady Mustangs took on a familiar foe in Mount Pleasant at Northeast Texas Community College May 11. The Hooks Lady Hornets, a district rival, became a playoff adversary as well. Having faced these Lady Hornets twice already this season, Hughes Springs knew that they would not go quietly. However, the Lady Mustangs had little trouble, winning in a blow out, 18-7.

The Hughes Springs Lady Mustangs finished last week 2-1, with wins against Hooks and Queen City, and finished the week with a loss against North Lamar out of Paris.

Monday’s game was a little intense with Hughes Springs holding a controlling 5 to 1 lead going into the bottom of the sixth inning. But Queen City managed to tie the game 5 to 5, sending the game into extra innings. But with the heroics of Charlie Mae Reeves playing a big part, the Lady Mustangs were able to win, 7-5, and remain undefeated in district play with one game remaining. The game against Hooks on Tuesday was a little bit less dramatic, with the Lady Mustangs winning 10-0 in six innings.
