🚨0⃣PLAYOFF NO-HITTER!0⃣🚨
Carroll defeats Boswell 3-0 to win the Bi-District series and advance to the Area round of the 6A playoffs, thanks to a combined no-hitter from Jackson Smith @Jackson__Smith1 and Gavin Morris @Gmorris2028!
Smith 5.0 IP, 0H, 0R, 4BB, 6K's, WIN
Morris 2.0 IP, 0H, 0R, 1BB, 2K's, SAVE
Every Dragon in the lineup reached base at least once and 8 batters collected 10 hits, led by Bo Kuhn @bokuhn31 and Camden Dean @cd33lefty, who each singled twice. Carroll also stole 5 bases.
The Dragons got all of the offense they would need in the 2nd when Kuhn drove in Dane Thornton @GameDane_, who had singled to lead off the inning and swiped second base. They added a pair of insurance runs in the 3rd on hits by Shawn Arterburn @ShawnArterburn, Matthew Heredia @MatthewHeredi16, and Gavin Strange @GavinStrange1.
A 6-3 groundout, Heredia > Kuhn, secured the final out and set off the celebration as the Dragons advance.
Stay tuned for info regarding next week's Area round matchup.

I may have been sayin this kid was kinda good
Funky angles nasty stuff and ain’t scared to attack hitters
Had him as high as 88 before - once he fills in I think we got a sleeper prospect here
Jackson Smith (@Jackson__Smith1 ) was dealing tonight. The LHP fired 5 no-hit innings with 6K in Southlake Carroll's Game 3 combined no-no to advance to the next round. Showed good arm side run on the FB with a plus CH that he used in all counts.
FB: 83-84
CB: 69-70
CH: 73-75

🚨🚨0⃣ NO HITTER! 0⃣🚨🚨
Three Carroll pitchers threw a combined no-hitter to defeat L.D. Bell 5-1.
In a must-win game for the Dragons, sophomore RHP Cason Austin @CasonAusti67093 inherited a bases loaded jam with the tying run at the plate in the 6th, and promptly went K, K, F8 without allowing a run. Austin collected the final 3 outs in the 7th to complete the two-inning save.
Junior LHP Jackson Smith @Jackson__Smith1 got the start and struck out 3 in 3 innings, before an extended rain delay chased him from the game. Sophomore Gavin Morris @Gmorris2028 threw 2 innings of middle relief, also punching out 3.
Smith, Morris, and Austin went 7 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 5 BB, 9 K's.
The big blow offensively came from Gavin Strange @GavinStrange1, who ripped a bases loaded double in the bottom of the 5th to plate Matthew Heredia @MatthewHeredi16, who led off the inning with a double of his own, and two other Dragons to make it 5-0. Strange was 2-for-3 with 3 RBI's and stole a bag.
For the second straight game, Camden Dean @cd33lefty scored from the lead off spot to give Carroll a 1-0 advantage in the 1st.
The Dragons have now won 5 straight and will conclude district play next week vs. Keller Central.
