McAllister, Smiley lead Thrall to shutout victory

THRALL — The Thrall varsity baseball team earned a 2-0 win over Rockdale on Thursday, April 17, thanks to a clutch hit from sophomore Weston Smiley and a dominant performance on the mound by senior Maverick McAllister.

With the game scoreless in the bottom of the sixth inning, Smiley delivered a two-run single to give the Tigers the lead for good.

McAllister, Thrall’s ace, was sharp all night. He worked out of trouble in the second inning after Rockdale put runners on first and second with one out. A groundout and flyout ended the threat.
