Johnson Baseball 2012

The Johnson Jaguar Varsity baseball team traveled to the NISD tournament on Thursday and came away with an opening round victory over Clemens and improved their record to 2-0. Unlike the Jags first game of the season where they had to come from behind against Champion, on Thursday vs the Buffs the Jaguars never trailed with Tyler Day taking center stage with a spectacular pitching performance.

The night belong to Day from the start of the game. Day struck out 9 batters of the 22 he faced Thursday night and gave up only two hits and no walks. Day threw 89 pitches over the 6 innings with 61 of the 89 going for strikes.

At the plate the Jags coelcted just 6 hits and 4 base-on-balls in the game but pushed two base runners over the plate to record a 2-0 victory. The 2 runs was more than enough with Day dominating the Buffaloes.

Johnson scored it’s first run in the bottom of the 2nd inning when Zach Hammer doubled to right field and Tanner Wall scored from second base. The score would stay 1-0 in favor of the Jags until the bottom of the 5th inning when Connor Roy took a two strike one ball pitch to left field for a double plating Mark Whitehead from third.

JoJo Callazo collected two hits in the game the only Jaguars with a multi-hit effort.

Johnson will be back at NISD field #1 on Friday to face off with Seguin at 11AM. The Matadors come into the game with a 1-1 record after defeating Marshall 4-2 on Thursday.

Go Jags!!

Johnson Softball 2012

The Johnson Jaguars have played a murderous schedule to open the 2012 season facing top ranked teams from the area and from across the State the rebuilding Jags have only netted one win so far in 2012. Tuesday Johnson faced off with O’Connor and faced one of the top returning pitchers from last season.

The Jags got on the board first in the top of the third inning with 2 runs and looked to be in control after pitcher Melanie Roe had struck out 5 of the first 6 batter she faced. But the Johnson deuce on the scoreboard woke up the Panthers and in the bottom of the inning would answer.

With just a few games played this season the Jaguars have shown that they can play great ball in the field and at the plate but when they commit errors in the field that is usually the downfall of this young team. And that is what happened again in the third inning against O’Connor.

The panthers took advantage of two errors by Johnson and rallied for 4 hits and 5 runs. Other than the one bad inning the Jags finished off the rest of the game in good shape allowing no more runs over the last four innings.

But the Jags could not produce any runs of their own either and came away with a 2-5 loss dropping their season record to 1-3 on the year. The Jags will again face some stout competition as they try to improve on their season record this Friday and Saturday in the NEISD tournament.

The Jaguars will face off with Holy Cross on Friday morning to start pool play. Holy Cross in 2-0 after beating Roosevelt and Keystone. The Jags will face Wagner right after noon on Friday. The T-Birds are 2-1 on the season with wins over Wagner and MacArthur and a loss to Madison.

Saturday will be bracket play for the Jags and will be TBD by their play on Friday.
