Mustangs defeat New Diana, advance in playoffs

By RICK COLEGROVE

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.
