Erath Bobcats capture rare District 6-3A baseball championship
District baseball titles don’t come around too often at Erath High School. So when one does occur, it is a pretty big deal.
On Tuesday the Bobcats won only the school’s baseball district title after sweeping Abbeville.
“It was our first goal we made this season - to win district,” said first-year head coach Doug Vicknair. “We reached that goal and players earned it by continuing to fight and get better each day.”
Erath (11-17) only needed to win one out of two games for the title. Instead, they beat Abbeville 16-2 and then 10-0.
In the first game against AHS, EHS scored 16 runs in the first two innings. The Bobcats had only five hits. Getting hits were Christen Migues, Trevor Huval, Cameron Durke, Thomas Collins and Ethan Goutierrez.
Jason Soirez and John Shiner pitched for EHS.
