THRALL — When Thrall High School hired Justin Adams as their new baseball coach, he said he expected to challenge for a district title in 2023-2024. As the Tigers near the midway point of the season, it appears that his team may be destined to fulfill his expectations. The Tigers are 14-5-1 on the season, and a perfect 7-0 in District 27-2A play after a pair of wins on Friday and Saturday.
The Tigers scored at will in a 17-0 rout of the Bremond Tigers (4-6, 1-4) on Friday. Jack Gustafson drove in five runs on a pair of hits, while Anthony Sandoval and Weston Smiley each picked up a pair of hits to lead an 11-hit attack by the Tigers. Gustafson also picked up the win on the mound, surrendering just two hits in the five-inning contest.
On Saturday, the Tigers won their sixth straight game, and tenth in their last 11 games, with a hard-fought 4-2 win over the Bartlett Bulldogs (9-9-1, 2-4).
