The Joaquin Rams varsity baseball team fell to the Woden Eagles on Monday during a District 23 2A play-in game to determine the conference’s fourth place representative for the UIL playoffs.

The Rams gained an early 2-0 lead when D. Holt singled to centerfield in the bottom of the first inning and Malik Stotts followed next with a single to rightfield. They were later driven in by hits by Bennett Anglin and Drew Fuller.

Woden scored to cut the JHS lead to 2-1 in the top of the third inning but Joaquin got a lead-off base hit by Holt in the bottom of the third frame and he later tagged and scored on a teammate’s sacrifice fly to give Joaquin a 3-1 run advantage.

Joaquin’s final hit of the day came in the bottom of the fourth inning when Jairo Blanco singled to rightfield with one out. The Ram’s final base runner was also Blanco who was hit by a pitch in the last inning to lead-off the frame.

Woden scored four runs in the top of the sixth inning during a rally which gave them a 6-3 lead which held up for the remainder of the contest.

Woden’s Gage Griffin struggled early on the mound for the Eagles but gained velocity and accuracy as the contest progressed. He struck out fourteen Joaquin batters in a complete game performance.

Joaquin’s Bennett Anglin and Maddox Hutchins teamed up for seven strikeouts for the day.

Joaquin finishes their 2021 season with a 16-11 overall mark and a 9-8 district standing.

Joaquin Rams Football Stadium on April 30, 2021 –

Joaquin High School’s Rams Stadium is undergoing an overhaul. Joaquin now becomes the first facility in the state of Texas to install the revolutionary T°Cool® evaporative cooling technology to their new synthetic turf field. During warm weather months (especially in Texas), synthetic turf surface temperatures can get dangerously hot, consistently exceeding 150°, making fields uncomfortable and often unplayable. T°Cool® treated infill is a proven solution that reduces surface temperatures by 30-50 degrees, keeping student-athletes cooler and safer.

The Rams football team is surely looking forward to using the new surface. The team finished the 2020 season with an 8-2 record and they posted a 4-1 finish in District 10 2A-1. They were a Bi-District contender as the second place representative for their conference.
