The Tyler Legacy baseball team fell to Forney, 7-3, on Tuesday night at Mike Carter Field. Forney's leadoff batters reached base in six of the seven innings, leading to the Jackrabbits' victory. The loss complicates Legacy's chase for the District 10-6A championship, as they now sit at 8-3 in district play with one game remaining.

Why it matters

The game was an important district matchup, with Legacy entering the night as the only eight-win team in the district. The loss puts Legacy a game behind Rockwall-Heath, who won their district opener, in the race for the district title.

The details

Forney jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning on an RBI single by Austin Giordano and a sacrifice fly from Drew Chaney. Legacy got a run back in the bottom half on a sacrifice fly by Cale Zips. Forney added a run in the third on another Chaney sacrifice fly to make it 3-1. The Jackrabbits then scored two more in the fourth on an RBI single by Giordano and an error that brought in another run, extending the lead to 5-1. Legacy got two runs back in the bottom of the fourth on an RBI triple by Brady Pollard, but that's as close as they would get, as Forney added two more runs late to seal the 7-3 victory.
