Dripping Springs Tigers
One step short: Early runs doom Dripping Springs in state semifinal
[dropcap]I[/dropcap]t took one inning Friday for the Willis Wildkats to place the Dripping Springs Tigers’ state title hopes out of reach.
Three first inning Wildkat runs, along with dominant pitching from Willis’ Casey Dixon, sunk Dripping Springs (35-9) in a 5-0 loss at the UIL Class 5A state semifinal at McCombs Field in Austin.
Willis (41-8) capitalized on first inning struggles from Tiger pitcher Kiele Miller, who walked the initial two batters she faced in the first inning.
