Friendswood- The Bucs came to town looking to maintain their playoff positioning while at the same time trying to get into a share of the district lead.

A resurgent Friendswood Mustang pitching staff continued to dominate, as Ryan Shetter threw 14ks keeping the Bucs off its game all day and running over the Bucs 10-2 Friday night at Bobby Black Field.

Friendswood went up 4-0 headed into the 5th inning. The Bucs were able to put up two runs at the top of the 5th inning. Brayden Kopycinski drew a walk. Gerry Guel then got a basehit (Israel Rodriguez pinch ran for Guel). A passed ball advanced both runners, and a huge Hector Uranga RBI double to center scored Kopycinski. A Blake Nelson walk scored in Rodriguez to make the game 4-2 Friendswood.

For all intents and purposes, the game was put away in the home half of the 5th inning by Friendswood, which involved a variety of Buc pitching changes. Friendswood exploded for 6 runs behind errors and timely hitting.

The Bucs have now dropped two games in a row, and are 13-7, 5-4 on the year. The big Clear Creek matchup is next for the Bucs, who now need to get some big wins to remain in the playoff hunt.
