Coming off a UIL District 7-6A co-title-winning regular season, the Wildcats swept South Grand Prairie in two games by a combined score of 11-4. Henderson State football signee Ryan Schirato finished the series 4-6 at bat with two runs and four RBIs (was responsible for half of LHHS’ runs).

LHHS won the first game of the series 4-1 and the second 7-3. The second game, played at LHHS, came to an end after starting RHP Mason Parsons threw out a South Grand Prairie runner at first base, which was followed by an on-field celebration and fireworks from behind center field.

The Wildcats are riding a 12-game winning streak going into the area round of the playoffs, where they will face off against Prosper. The first game is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on May 8 at Frisco ISD’s Smothermom Field.

Smothermom Field is located at 6927 Stadium Lane in Frisco.
