AUSTIN – Several Taylor Duck athletes put their best foot forward, some setting new personal best, against tough competition at the 95th annual Texas Relays March 29 – April 1.

THRALL – Three Thrall Tiger pitchers combined for a no-hitter Saturday in a 22-1 blasting of the Chilton Pirates. Carson Ball and Bobby Clark combined to drive in seven runs to help the Tigers (13-6 overall, 5-3 District 27-2A) to the win.

For the second time this season, the Milano Lady Eagles spotted the Thrall Tigerettes (11-12-2 overall, 5-5 District 27-2A) a lead, only to storm back to get the win. On Saturday, Thrall built a 4-0 lead through three innings, but a five-run fifth gave Milano the lead and the Lady Eagles held on for a 6-4 win.
