The boys baseball team played their last game of the season last night at Spring Lake Park. Here are the results:

Game 2
Red Lick 5 North Lamar 3
The Mustangs came out on top in the final game of the season over the North Lamar Panthers by a final score of 5-3. The Mustangs came out hot in the first inning, scoring 4 runs in the bottom half of the inning to take a 4-0 lead. Lawson Brainerd started the inning off with a double, followed by a Stone Cauley RBI single and Luke Wasson RBI double. Luke Wasson threw the complete game, striking out 5 Panthers and giving up 2 total hits. Daxton Fowler and Lucas Collins both scored runs in the game.
With the win over North Lamar, the Mustangs end the season with a 7-3-2 record and are the DISTRICT CHAMPIONS. The boys played hard all season long and I can not express enough how proud I am of these kids and their effort everyday at practice and in the games. They were resilient, relentless, and made so many big plays when their team needed it. Congratulations to all of the boys, especially the 8th grade group that played their last games as a Red Lick Mustang last night. What a great year and way to end the season with a special group of boys, and as always...Go Mustangs!!
