Natalia baseball, softball teams bow out of playoffs


The Natalia Mustang Baseball and the Lady Mustang Softball teams saw their seasons come to an end in Guadalupe County last Saturday.
The Mustang Baseball team was overpowered by a very good Blanco Panther squad. Hot bats by the Panthers combined with errors by the Natalia defense resulted in a lop-sided 11-0 loss in four innings.
A full story will run in next week’s Devine News which will include game highlights, stats, coach’s comments and a look back at the season.
The Lady Mustangs on the other hand gave #9 Hallettsville a run for their money. After giving up five first inning runs, the girls in blue rallied back with a four run first inning of their own.
From there on out, it was a true defensive battle. Unfortunately, Hallettsville held on for a 6-4 win ending the season for a second straight year for Natalia.
A full story will be in next week’s Devine News which will include stats, comments from the coach and a look back at the season.
