With the win in game 2, your Red Lick Mustangs are BACK-TO-BACK DISTRICT CHAMPIONS with a final season record of 8-1-1. I can not be more proud of all of the boys on the team this season. The 8th graders led the team with hard work and great leadership, and our 7th graders came in with the effort and attitude to succeed.
Last night were two high pressure games, and the boys rose to the occasion and did everything they needed to do to accomplish the goal set at the beginning of the season. A huge thank you to all of the parents, families, friends, and fans that supported our journey throughout the season and were able to celebrate with the boys last night. This concludes our baseball season for the 2026 year and as always, GO MUSTANGS!!
