Baseball's Bats Quieted

What began as a strong start for the Carroll baseball team ended on a sour note as the Dragons posted a 2-2-1 showing at last weekend's Mid Cities Tournament.
Carroll began the tournament by spanking Paschal in a 7-1 decision to improve to 5-1 on the season, but the Dragons could only manage one more win over the final four games to fall to 6-3-1 for the season.
Carroll's offense struggled at times, tying Allen 0-0 while producing just two hits; then falling to both L.D. Bell and Lubbock Coronado by identical 2-1 margins. The Dragons' only other victory was a 3-0 final against Richland.
Despite the losses and offensive struggles, Carroll coach Larry Hughes has said he wants to use tournament play as a chance to prep his team for the more important games.
"My whole philosophy is to play good competition and not worry about win-loss records," Hughes said. "You want to be in that good competition because it gets you ready for district.
"You're not going to win every game," he said. "We want to learn what our players can do."
Carroll now prepares to enter the Frisco Tournament, running Thursday through Saturday, as one final tune-up before beginning district competition next week. The Dragons open by hosting Coppell at 4 p.m. Tuesday.
