Gobblers inch closer to district

The Cuero Record

As the Gobbler baseball season quickly approaches its final stretch, there are still seven games remaining to be played. Cuero will finish out the non-district slate at Ingleside this Friday before opening district play Monday, April 11, in Navarro.

With District 27-4A only consisting of four teams, all four have already been guaranteed a spot in the UIL state playoffs. The most crucial aspect to a playoff run is seeding which will be determined by district record. The best district record will receive a one seed while the worst receives a fourth seed and draws the one seed out of the nearest district.

For game action this past week Cuero saw Pleasanton come to town last Tuesday, March 29. Losing 6-1 in seven innings, the Eagles would put up five runs to start the first that put Cuero in to big of a hole to climb out of. Limiting the damage, Dylan Mills gave the Gobblers a solid outing going six and two/thirds innings only allowing one earned run. Bishop Whitt would score the lone run for Cuero on a Caleb Nagel RBI single in the third.
