CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The THSB No. 4 Sinton Pirates opened up the Whataburger Field (Astros' AA field) high school baseball schedule with a 5-0 victory against Rockport-Fulton. It was their UIL district 30-4A opener.
Sinton's Seth Hovda came in for relief in the third inning. He struck out 7 batters and walked 2 in 5 innings. It was his first time pitching at Whataburger Field.
"I thought we had a pretty good team win," Hovda said. "It was pretty atmosphere out here, and pretty cool to play at Whataburger. You don't get stuff like that very often, so I thought it was pretty cool to be able to pitch on the mound. How we bounced back losing those two games and being able to come back and be able to win this game is pretty huge."
Derek Garcia led things off on the bump for Sinton, and he struck out 1, giving up 0 runs in 2 innings. Rockport-Fulton starter Sean Howell lasted 5.1 innings, giving up 5 runs while striking out 7.
