It was only Boerne High’s first baseball game of the season, but Greyhound pitcher Jackson Grimes looked to be in postseason form on Tuesday when BHS visited Wagner.
Grimes tossed a no-hitter and was one pitch away from a perfect game after he didn’t issue a walk or a hit in Tuesday’s contest. Grimes hit a batter in the first inning, and that ended up being the only blemish on his record as the Greyhounds went on to beat the Thunderbirds, 11-0.
Boerne starts the year at 1-0 and Tuesday’s win counts in the district standings. The Hounds play in the Northside tourney this weekend and hosts Kerrville Tivy on Tuesday.
Other than hitting that T-Bird player in the first frame, Grimes was otherwise perfect as he struck out 19 Wagner batters on 92 pitches.
The first out that wasn’t a Grimes strikeout came in the fifth on a ground out to third base. There was another ground out in the seventh and that was it as far as fielding; the rest of the T-Bird batters were sat down by Grimes. The outfielders were never involved in a play.
Offensively, the Greyhounds pushed in 3 runs in the third, added 3 in the fifth and scored one in the sixth to make it 7-0. Boerne plated 4 runs in the top of the seventh, so it went the distance and won’t go down as a mercy- rule game even though Boerne won, 11-0.
BHS finished with 11 hits, all singles. Jake Perez singled, scored and drove in 2 runs, Grimes helped his cause with a single and an RBI, Josh Kory singled, drove in a run and scored twice, Otis Skubal hit 2 singles scored 2 runs and picked up an RBI, Eli Srp singled, while Asher Wren hit 2 singles and Drake Kinneson and EJ Goolsby both singled. Goosby scored 3 runs and pushed in a run, and Wren also picked up an RBI.
