Matt Roberts led a 17-hit offensive attack for New Waverly with a 4-for-4 performance as the Bulldogs blasted Somerville 17-3 in District 26-2A action Friday at Bulldog Field.
After crushing Hearne 19-1 on Wednesday, the Bulldogs combined to outscore their last two district opponents 37-4.
Rhett Bohannon was 3-for-4 with three runs scored, a double and two runs batted in.
Matt Gray had two hits, including a triple, and three RBI while Eli Amador drove in a pair of runs with his two singles.
Micah Bohannon singled twice and brought home two runs while Zach Bowen’s fourth-inning solo home run over the left field wall was just one of nine runs scored by the Bulldogs that inning.
Ryan Reyes also added a two-run triple.
“I thought our hitting was great from top to bottom,” NW coach Tommy Bohannon said. “Hitting can be contagious. A lot of kids came through as we did a much better job at the plate tonight than Wednesday.”
Bowen pitched four innings to notch the win, allowing three hits and striking out four.
The Bulldogs (3-0 in district) will travel to Hempstead Tuesday at 7 p.m. and host Lexington on Thursday at 4 p.m.
“Our competition is going to step up next week and the following week,” Bohannon said. “Hopefully we can take care of the teams that have been making noise lately and step up ourselves.”

Alive and kicking: Bearkats still in hunt at SLC baseball tourney
With the possibility of going home early from the Southland Conference Tournament and a chance of their season coming to an abrupt end, the Bearkats needed some quality starting pitching and production from their bats in the worst way.
Like he has done all year long, Sam Houston senior Justin Jackson delivered a lights-out performance on the mound and the offense made the kind of impact the Bearkats have been looking for Thursday morning.
Both elements came together at the exact right time as the Kats stayed alive in the tourney with a 7-1 victory over McNeese State in an elimination game at Bobcat Ballpark. -
Bad day for Bearkats
The Bearkats’ road to the NCAA tournament just got a little bit tougher.
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi broke out for four runs before top-seeded Sam Houston even stepped to the plate Wednesday afternoon, but the Kats couldn’t find a way to counter that first punch.
Sam Houston connected for eight hits, but could not get enough of those in a row to make a dent in the deficit and are now one loss away from being eliminated from the Southland Conference tournament following a 9-2 loss at the hands of the eighth-seeded Islanders on Wednesday afternoon at the Bobcat Baseball Ballpark. -
