Comanche can't keep up with Community Christian

The Indians fall to 12-10 overall on the season and are in third place in district play with a 5-2 record.

 
Monday

Community Christian 12,

Comanche 2

A big fourth inning by the Royals gave them the momentum they needed to get the district win.

The two teams met again on Tuesday.

The Indians were limited to one hit in the contest, a Landon Steele single late in the game with Community Christian already firmly ahead.

Comanche held the lead briefly in the third inning. Trailing 1-0, Colby Shannon reached after being hit by a pitch and Landon Steele reached on an error. With Shannon at third and Steele at second, a passed ball allowed Shannon to score and the ensuing throw was off the mark, which allowed Steele to score all the way from second.

The two runs gave Comanche a 2-1 lead, but the Royals would bounce back in the fourth inning with five runs to retake the lead and keep it the rest of the way.

Gabe Diaz took the loss on the mound, going 3.1 innings, while giving up five hits, five earned runs and five walks.
