MARBLE FALLS — The Cedar Park Vista Ridge baseball team ensured the game against Marble Falls April 3 wasn’t decided in the last inning.

Unlike the 1-0 victory in March, the Vista Ridge Rangers scored four runs off four hits in the first inning en route to a 13-0 win in a contest that ended in the fifth inning.

The Mustangs’ starting pitcher, junior Cody Goodman, left the game after 2/3 inning.

 

“Sometimes pitchers get out there and have great stuff,” Marble Falls head coach David Norwood said. “Sometimes they don’t. Whatever we threw up there, they hit.”

Vista Ridge scored two runs in the second and seven in the third. In all the Rangers recorded 14 hits.

Norwood said the Mustangs used the game to give other pitchers work, including senior Garrett Winslett, sophomore Saul Guzman and junior Stacy Heinatz.

“We’re disappointed we didn’t come and play,” the coach said. “Obviously this was not a good performance. Their kids came over extremely focused. They saw the ball well, they earned everything.”

Marble Falls will travel to face Leander Rouse, 1501 CR 271 in Leander, 7 p.m. April 5, a game that was moved because of Good Friday.
