Softball/Baseball Playoffs: Guyer punches ticket for semifinal, Jags secure game one win and more

The high school softball and baseball playoffs are in full force and a few area teams are still in the running for a state championship.

Softball

Guyer defeated Marcus in a three game series to become the 6A Division II Region I championship.

The Wildcats took game one by a score of 9-4 at The Colony High School. They completed the sweep with a 4-3 win Thursday night.

It was a rematch from last year’s regional quarterfinal, which Guyer won. During the regular season, the two teams faced each other twice. Each team won one game and they were both decided by one run.

Marcus head coach Christy Tumilty said after game two of the regional semifinal that playing in one of the hardest districts in the state has prepared them for anything, and anyone, in the playoffs.

Marcus beat Keller in three games and Guyer, down to its last strike, came from behind to beat Mansfield Legacy.

The Wildcats are headed to the state semifinals.

Flower Mound swept Odessa Permian out in Clyde in the Regional Semifinal. Now, the Lady Jags are up 1-0 in a three-game series against Plano East after escaping a late-inning jam.

The winner will be crowned the 6A Division II Region I champion.

All games will be played at L.D. Bell High School. Game two is Friday at 7 p.m.

The winner of the series will advance to the state semifinals.

Baseball

Marcus and Guyer have the chance to face up in the 6A Division II Region I baseball championship, as well.

The Marauders, facing Byron Nelson, dropped game on in the regional semifinal round.

They will look to bounce back in game two at Marcus. First pitch will be at 7 p.m.

Guyer dropped game on against powerhouse Southlake Carroll. The Wildcats will look to bounce back in game two, which will be played at Guyer with first pitch at 7 p.m.

Carroll won state in 2022.

Whoever wins in each of these series will face each other in the Region I championship. If Marcus and Guyer both advance, it will match the softball regional final matchup.

Another Lewisville ISD school is in the 6A Division I playoff bracket.

The Hebron Hawks lost game one against Keller in the regional semifinal. They will have to win two in a row if they want to face either Mansfield Legacy or Prosper in the regional finals.

In 5A Division II, Argyle fell to Lubbock-Cooper, getting shutout in games one and three.

After a 12-inning 1-0 loss, the Eagles had to turn around and play a 1 p.m. game two, which they won. They forced a game three, but weren’t able to get the offense going.

A three-run first inning was all that Lubbock-Cooper needed. The Pirates pitching staff took care of the Eagles.

Lubbock-Cooper will now face defending 5A state champion Grapevine, who completed the sweep of Wylie on Friday in its regional semifinal matchup.
