Westwood pitcher Winston Alford fires a pitch in early season action.
Defensively, the Rockets baseball team showed improvement on Wednesday night at Moore County, but the bats did not follow suit. Westwood’s offense was held without a hit in a 16 to 1 loss at Lynchburg. Winston Alford was the starting pitcher and was saddled with the loss. He was relieved by Nick Smith. Jacob Garms and Ethan Rivera were singled out for their solid play as catcher and first baseman respectively. Westwood will return home on Friday for a doubleheader with Community. That doubleheader will get underway at 4:30 PM at Loony Riddle Field at Fred Deadman Park.
Five unearned runs allowed in the top of the 1st inning was too big of a hurdle to overcome for the Lady Rockets as they fell 17 to 5 in middle school softball on Wednesday to Cannon County. The Lady Rockets banged out 13 hits in the game, but stranded 7 runners in the contest. Alexcia Barnes and Sarah West each had 3 hits in the game to lead the Blue and White. Keyleigh Alford and Lexi Holder each added 2 hits and Danielle Baker scored twice for Westwood. The Lady Rockets will return home on Friday for a 4:30 PM game with Cascade
