The second weekend of fall ball was another action-packed one for the Houston Hard Knocks! Our 8u, 10u, and 12u teams all hit the field and gave us plenty to cheer about.

8u Division
Our 8u boys split their Sunday doubleheader, going 1-1 on the day. They came out swinging in Game 1, earning a solid 13-4 win. Tristan launched a home run and crossed the plate three times, while Rhett was unstoppable at the plate, going a perfect 4-for-4. Even better, every single player contributed with at least one hit—a true team effort. Though Game 2 didn’t go our way, the boys showed grit and battled until the end.

10u Division
The 10u squad had a busy weekend with games both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday kicked off with a win in Game 1, followed by a dramatic finish in Game 2 where they scored in the last inning to tie it up. Gian and Corbin were solid on the mound, each pitching two innings and striking out a pair of batters. On Sunday, the team carried that momentum into a dominant 12-2 victory. Jason was lights-out, pitching three innings and only allowing two hits, while Pierce came in to close it down, needing just nine pitches to end the inning. A strong all-around weekend for the 10u!

12u Division
It was a tale of two days for our 12u squad. Saturday brought some struggles as the team went 0-2 despite battling hard. But on Sunday, they came out with renewed energy and picked up a 6-3 win. The game was tight until the fifth inning, when Samuel delivered a clutch single to bring home two runs, followed by Knox’s big double that drove in another. Unfortunately, the rest of the day was cut short due to extenuating circumstances, but the boys showed resilience and fight in their Sunday performance.

Looking Ahead
While the weekend had its ups and downs, all three Hard Knocks teams are showing growth, teamwork, and determination. We’re proud of the effort across every age group, and we know our players will come back even stronger and more ready for the challenges ahead.

Let’s keep the momentum rolling into next weekend—Go Hard Knocks!
