The Howe Bulldogs baseball season is underway and they have stockpiled their schedule to this point with larger schools to prepare for district play. Howe then lost to Prosper’s JV, 11-1 with Ethan Lopez bringing in Parker Pecina for Howe’s lone run.

Howe started the week with a 9-8 loss at Whitesboro where the Dogs gave up no earned runs. Freshman Austin Haley threw 2.1 perfect innings in relief to keep Howe in the game, but a late run couldn’t be pushed across to knot it up. Dylan Hughes was 2-for-4 with a home run and Jalen Thornton went 2-for-4 with 3 RBI to lead the Bulldogs. Kolby Windon was the starting pitcher who went the first two innings.

Howe then lost to Melissa 4-1 as the Dogs only run came on a Carson Daniels RBI that drove in Luke Lopez.

The Bulldogs then fell short against Allen’s JV, 14-1. Howe’s run came when Thornton brought home Layton Elvington. Garrett Grigg, Daniels combined on the mound for the loss. Howe then lost to Pilot Point, 7-1 with Thornton driving home Hughs for Howe’s run. Pecina went 4.1 innings not allowing an earned run.

Howe then lost to Pilot Point again, this time 9-0 on a nearperfect game by Morgan. Grigg walked to keep it from a perfect game.

Howe finished out the week with a 7-3 loss to Greenville. Hughs, Thornton, and Matt Hayes each had two hits to lead Howe. Hayes got his first start and went 2 innings allowing no earned runs. He did, however, allow 5 walks in the outing.

Howe has not been helped out defensively as they allowed 27 errors in the 7 games this week.
