Just one game after struggling against the Alamo Heights baseball team, the Greyhounds blew out the Mules in their rematch last Friday in Boerne thanks in part to three home runs by Hudson McNew.
Boerne defeated Alamo Heights in their first meeting last Tuesday, 4-2, with three of those runs unearned, but the Greyhounds flipped the switch last Friday.
In last Friday’s game, Boerne blew out the Mules 19-5 in four and a half innings behind 17 hits, after only recording 2 hits in their first meeting.
BHS is 16-4 overall and 8-3 in district. The Hounds were at La Vernia Tuesday for a non-district game and then play two with Pieper next week.
McNew homered in the first inning and followed that with homers in the third and fourth frames and each shot was a 3-run blast to finish with 9 RBI.
McNew also hit a single in the second to record 4 hits in the game and score 4 runs.
The Greyhounds tallied 4 runs in the first frame, 6 in the second, 3 in the third and 6 in the fourth for the 19-0 lead, while Alamo Heights scored all 5 of its runs in the top of the fifth.
The Mules put their first eight batters on in the inning before Boerne could record an out and AH started off the inning with a solo homer. Four of their five hits in the game came in the top of the fifth.
