Precision, talent, dedication, drive, and focus are just some of the key factors that have helped the Gunter Tigers baseball program continue on a successful mission this season. As they team hunts for continued success in the regional finals, VYPE DFW takes a look into the program!
So Far
Through the regular season, the Gunter Tigers posted a flawless record with 29 consecutive victories over talented opponents. Starting the year off with incredible non-district victories, Gunter defeated the likes of Prosper, Panther Creek, Kimball, Whitesboro, North Garland, Windthorst, and more in dominating fashion. With the tone set for the rest of their season, Gunter kicked it into high gear as they entered district play.
With an incredible, undefeated record throughout the regular season, the team posted a 12-0 district record and finished at the top of their district standings. Recording victories over the likes of Bells (10-0, 12-0), Pottsboro (6-5, 10-0), Howe (14-0, 14-2), Bonham (10-0, 11-1), and more, it comes as no surprise that this team has made it so deep into the playoffs-- just one series away from punching their ticket to the state tournament.
In playoffs so far, Gunter has sent Grand Saline (16-3, 11-0), Ponder (1-0), Edgewood (3-0, 1-2, 4-0), and Tatum (9-2) packing; securing their spot in the regional finals. Going up 1-0 in the series against Boyd with a 3-1 victory on Thursday helped highlight the team's ability to continue trucking forward successfully!
What To Expect
Fans should continue to expect excellent play from Gunter. The team showcases a no-doubt mentality with a champion mindset. As they take on Boyd in game two of the series, it can be expected that this team puts forth the effort necessary to complete their mission and head to the state tournament.
