Brownwood (8-8, 4-3) slipped to third place in the district standings with the loss, a half-game in front of fourth-place Gatesville (13-8, 3-3), who has the week off. Lampasas (8-13, 5-2) moved into sole possession of second place behind Stephenville (11-8, 4-1) – which downed Glen Rose (3-16-1, 0-7) by a 12-5 count Tuesday. If the Lions are able to knock off Lampasas Friday, Brownwood would be in possession of the second seed due to owning the tiebreaker over the Badgers, two wins to one.
