The Royse City Bulldogs have had a strong season but they hit a road bump against the Plano West Wolves on Tuesday. The team put up a good fight but lost a narrow contest 2-1.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Pay attention to being prepared, pay attention to the details of things you’re supposed to do and then there’s a time when it will swing back and everything will start going your way again,” Coach Clay Wolfe told his team after the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The pitching staff was locked in early. Starter Hayden Cavin tosse a scoreless first three innings before the game’s momentum swung in favor of Plano.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While Wolfe thought the defensive effort was solid on the night, he said one mistake ended up coming back to haunt the team.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to Wolfe, the team had a prime pickoff opportunity in the top of the fourth with runners on first and second and two out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That missed opportunity lead to a triple into center field from Wolves outfielder Nathan Buriko, which plated two runs and put the Wolves up 2-0.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Bulldogs’ one run came in the bottom of the sixth inning. A pair of singles from Cason Lancaster and Peyton Peoples put runners on the corners as Lancaster advanced all the way to third.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alex Nevarez drove Lancaster in on a sacrifice fly to shallow right right field to cut the lead in half at 2-1.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elliot Shaw drew a walk in the bottom of the seventh representing the tying run with one out but a double play ended the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Bulldogs pick things up at 1 p.m. on Saturday on the road against the Community Braves.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Royse City Bulldogs have had a strong season but they hit a road bump against the Plano…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":255210,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[96188,90758,1816,90760,96185,96186,96184,90756,90753,90759,42750,90755,90752,90748,90749,90750,96187,9424,96189,160,162,161,9367,90751,154,27638,9368,90761,16505],"class_list":{"0":"post-255209","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-plano","8":"tag-athletic-sports","9":"tag-ball-and-bat-games","10":"tag-baseball","11":"tag-baseball-competitions","12":"tag-baseball-events","13":"tag-baseball-finals","14":"tag-baseball-games","15":"tag-baseball-playoffs-and-champions","16":"tag-baseball-teams","17":"tag-champion-seasons-in-major-league-baseball","18":"tag-major-league-baseball","19":"tag-major-league-baseball-competitions","20":"tag-major-league-baseball-postseason","21":"tag-major-league-baseball-seasons","22":"tag-major-league-baseball-teams","23":"tag-major-league-baseball-teams-seasons","24":"tag-october-in-sports","25":"tag-outdoor-sports","26":"tag-pickoff","27":"tag-plano","28":"tag-plano-headlines","29":"tag-plano-news","30":"tag-seasons-in-american-sport","31":"tag-seasons-in-baseball","32":"tag-sports","33":"tag-sports-events","34":"tag-team-sports","35":"tag-turf-sports","36":"tag-world-series"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255209","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=255209"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255209\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/255210"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=255209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=255209"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=255209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
