Waxahachie Baseball Defeats Sachse 5-1 Behind Strong Pitching Performance

Sachse cut into the deficit in the fourth when Julian Moreno executed a safety squeeze to plate Greyson Darden, making it 3-1. The Mustangs threatened to add more in the inning when Aaron Silva singled through the hole into right field, but Luke Ballard fired a strike from the outfield to gun down Landon Parks at the plate. Gramm Davis then struck out the final batter to end the threat.

Waxahachie added insurance in the bottom of the fourth as Weston Davis ripped a double down the right field line, scoring Drew Paulino to extend the lead to 5-1. Jax Robinson closed out the game in the seventh inning, striking out the side to seal the victory.

The Indians pushed their winning streak to 13 games with the 5-1 final.
