Fort Worth Christian Cardinals baseball · 2026 season.
Fort Worth Christian wrapped up its pre-district schedule in dominant fashion on Tuesday evening, cruising to an 11-1 victory over Fort Worth THESA on their home diamond. The decisive win boosts the Cardinals' overall record to an outstanding 13-3 and perfectly sets the stage for the crucial games ahead.
The Cardinals' pitching staff set a relentless tone, keeping the Riders' offense quiet while the lineup went to work. Jacob Pegg showcased his command on the mound, notably freezing THESA's batter Treat with a sharp fastball for a strikeout looking to stifle the opposition.
Backed by rock-solid pitching, the Fort Worth Christian offense erupted for 11 runs, maintaining the high-scoring momentum established in their previous shutout over Lake Country Christian. The complete-team effort left no doubt as FWC controlled the contest from the opening pitch.
With the non-district slate officially in the rearview mirror, the Cardinals now turn their full attention to the highly anticipated start of TAPPS district action. Fort Worth Christian will host Midland Christian in the first half of a doubleheader on Friday, March 13, at 7:00 p.m.
