Lampasas catcher James Boultinghouse prepares to deliver a throw to first base. After being outscored 53-21 and going 1-4 in five games played over five days in Glen Rose, the Badgers traveled south to Burnet Wednesday.

The change of scenery did not help.

Lampasas lasted just five innings before the game was ended via run rule with the Badgers trailing 17-0.

The Bulldogs batted through their entire lineup in each of the first two innings and took a 13-run lead into the third inning.

Lampasas’ lone opportunity to make a small run at the home team came in the fourth inning when the Badgers loaded the bases with only one out.

Unfortunately for Lampasas, Burnet pitcher Kyler Payne struck out the next two Badger batters, leaving the runners stranded.

The Bulldogs finished the outing with 14 hits, including a pair of three-run home runs, while Lampasas recorded just four.

PHOTOS BY RICHARD AKRIDGE Over the weekend, Lampasas played in the Glen Rose tournament and went 1-3 with losses to Iowa Park, Glen Rose and Maypearl before picking up a 11-0 shutout victory over Rio Vista Saturday afternoon.

In each of the three losses, the competition posted double-digit runs.

With just one day’s rest, the Badgers returned to Glen Rose Monday for another game against the Tigers.

Lampasas lost by six runs, 9-3, but improved its play after being beaten by Glen Rose 20-0 during the tournament.

After scoring their first two runs of the game in the sixth inning, the Badgers ended the top half of the inning with three runners stranded.

Lampasas has one final chance to address its problems both offensively and defensively before District 25-4A play begins Tuesday. The Badgers travel to Brownwood tonight for a 7:15 p.m. start before hosting Hendrickson in the district opener.
