Stephenville struggled from the plate with only 22 hits in four games of classic play in Kennedale last weekend.

The Yellow Jackets defeated Fort Worth Trimble Tech, 2-1, and tied Fort Worth South Hills, 5-5, with eight hits in each of those outings, but had just six total hits in two losses, including only one in a 1-0 shutout against Edgewood and a 3-2 loss to Kennedale.

That’s a win, two one-run losses and a tie, leaving Stephenville just three runs from a perfect 4-0 weekend. But instead, the Jackets had just one extra-base hit, a triple by Seth Heupel as part of a 2-for-2 outing against South Hills, when Cody Storrs was 2-for-3.

Heupel was also 2-for-3 against Kennedale and 5-for-10 for the classic, while Easton Jones was 2-for-3 against Trimble Tech.

Pitching wasn’t the problem as Jacket hurlers combined to surrender just six earned runs – 10 total – on 20 hits over the four games.
