Unfortunately, they did.

Hendrickson took advantage of three Lampasas errors and produced 15 hits en route to a 12-0 shutout victory at home Friday evening.

The loss drops the Badgers to 4- 20 on the year with an 0-6 District 25-4A record.

Lampasas recorded just two hits in the game as the Hawks (20-3) extended their untarnished district winning streak to six games.

Following a two-run first inning, Hendrickson tacked on another run in the second to go up 3-0 before exploding for eight runs in the third.

Pitcher Brandon Evetts picked up the loss for Lampasas.

The Badgers return to their home diamond tonight to face Lake Travis (4-2 district).

Earlier this season, the Cavaliers shut out Lampasas 10-0 in Austin. Since then, however, the preseason top 10 team has lost a pair of road games by one run to Hendrickson and Marble Falls.
