WEATHERFORD —
Roos drop District 3-5A decision to Paschal
Staff Report
Weatherford High School's early lead was erased by the Paschal Panthers Tuesday afternoon, as the Kangaroos squared off against the district co-leaders at Raymond E. Curtis Field, losing the District 3-5A contest, 8-2. After giving up two runs to the Roos in the bottom of the opening frame, Paschal hurler Tyler Nurdin stiffened to pitch shut-out ball the rest of the way.
Spurred by home runs from Gavin Smithart and Kirby Campbell, Paschal put together two 3-run innings in the fourth and seventh. The WHS boys, falling to a 3-4 district mark, return to action on Saturday, in a non-district match at Granbury. Looking for a critical win to pull themselves back into playoff contention, the Roos next district game is Tuesday, as they travel to Abilene for a 7:30 p.m. start.
