But tonight the DockHounds left the roof off in Cleburne. First inning, four runs before you could bait a hook. That foundation? Cracks the size of a muskellunge's grin.  By the seventh, the frame was splinters.  It was the kind of structural failure that makes you check the blueprints twice.You're listening to Sandhill's Dock Report from Louie's Dock — Lake Country baseball, filed from the marsh. I'm the Sandhill. Tonight: The Hounds get outmuscled on the road as big innings bust the foundation.Cleburne came out swinging like they were building a cathedral with their bats. Chris Jefferson couldn't find the horizontal line in the first inning — four runs crossed before he'd thrown a dozen pitches. Prairie School pitching is about sweeping, low horizontals.

Twelve hits on both sides, but Cleburne's thirteen were clustered in two rooms: the first and seventh. That's building a house of cards with a deck of bricks.The pattern tonight is a familiar one: the Hounds' offense can score in spurts, but they can't land a big inning. Five separate one-run frames. Meanwhile, the pitching gives up clusters — four and five at a time. The structural truth? This team needs a continuous beam, not a series of joists. Until they string together a three-run inning or more, they'll keep building houses that can't weather a storm.This game was a house with a solid frame but no shingles. The Hounds built a sturdy little cottage of runs — one at a time.
