The Burnet High School baseball team will enter the Class 4A playoffs with some momentum after earning a 10-6 win against Austin McCallum April 30.

The Bulldogs (11-13-1, 7-8) now focus on La Grange, their bi-district opponent in a three-game series all played at Hutto High School, 101 FM 685 in Hutto.

Untimely error allows the Broncos to beat the Bulldogs

In just about every statistic, the Burnet High School baseball team beat Lake Belton April 26. But the only statistic the Bulldogs didn’t win were the number of runs where the District 19-4A champion Broncos (12-2) scored two unearned in the second and then hung on for a 2-0 victory. “We played really well,” Burnet head coach Russell Houston said. “It was good to see we can play with those guys and keep it close. It was frustrating we didn’t execute when we had the opportunities. We need to do…

The final week of the regular season is upon the Burnet High School baseball team. And that means two more chances to get better before the start of the Class 4A playoffs. But first the Bulldogs (10-11-1, 7-6) must finish up District 19-4A play against Lake Belton (11-2), which is the champion.

The Burnet High School baseball team earned another big win in District 19-4A play April 19 when the Bulldogs beat Taylor 13-6 and ensures their season continues beyond the regular season.

Last night was a different night with the weather…

The Burnet High School baseball team illustrated almost every emotion known in sports in a 24-hour period. One night after losing to Salado 20-3 in a contest that ended after 5 1/2 innings April 13, the Bulldogs arrived at Bulldog Diamonds for the conclusion of a three-game series with the Eagles April 14. Because Burnet had beaten the Eagles 7-6 March 18, both teams knew the winner would take the crucial head-to-head matchup that sometimes determines playoff berths or seeds for the postseason. But this time, the Bulldogs (9-10-1, 6-5…

Though the Burnet High School baseball team suffered back-to-back losses April 8-9, head coach Russell Houston pointed out the differences he believes are key for the Bulldogs as they turn their attention to the final weeks of the regular season. The Bulldogs (8-9-1, 5-4 District 19-4A) lost to Austin McCallum 11-8 April 9, a day after a 10-0 loss to Georgetown Gateway. Top of the list in the differences between the two contests can be found in the first inning. In both contests, Burnet gave up four runs. But against…

Miscues don’t derail Bulldogs from road win at Gateway

A calm, cool and collected demeanor by Burnet senior pitcher Ralston Vance resulted in the Bulldogs beating Georgetown Gateway 3-1 April 5. Vance had 8 strikeouts and didn’t issue a walk, which meant the five errors committed by the Bulldogs (8-7-1, 5-3 District 19-4A) didn’t affect the outcome. “This win doesn’t mathematically put us in the playoffs,” head coach Russell Houston said. “It’s a win that it would have been difficult to get in the playoffs without it.” The Gators may have had their best scoring opportunities early. Burnet committed…
