Johnson City defeated Mason 8-1 March 25 to remain unbeaten in district play, before losing to Marble Falls 10-9 in a non-district game.
With the win over the Punchers, the Eagles picked up another district sweep and advanced to 6-0 against district opponents. The Eagles are ranked first in Texas for Class 2A schools.
There was a lot for head coach Rhett Eickenloff to like in Tuesday’s win over Mason. Behind sophomore Wyatt Lorenzen’s seven innings of one-run baseball, Johnson City scored eight runs and scored at least one run in all but one inning where the team came to the plate. The 8-1 victory gave the Eagles the season sweep over the Punchers.
