Only had 1 senior Orangefield should will be strong again next year. In this past 3 game series the pitching from both sides were: Orangefield> Felts, Statum, Whitson, Peavey Bridge City > Hicks, Zoch, Snyder, Wallace, Kellogg Bold will be back for both teams

When players move to different teams it just opens a spot for another one to move in. I've noticed the key to winning games in softball is the pitcher. I would make an aggreement between the summer teams that pitchers are protected if they are on a roster.

They going to split, Coop?

Who will be the QB at PNG?

Game 1 Thursday 7:30 pm Game 2 Saturday 2:00 pm Game 3 if needed 30 minutes after game 2 Site TBA but will be nice.

Spring Hill vs Bridge City...2 out of 3 set... Place TBA

Friendswood wakes up, pounds rival Texas City By Joshua Buckley The Daily News Published May 24, 2009 HOUSTON — Somebody alert the rest of Region III-4A — the Friendswood Mustangs have finally woken up. "Honestly, I don’t want to sound cocky, but I think we’ve been bored up until now,†Friendswood catcher Austin Fitzpatrick said. “We were being lackadaisical with Texas City because we had already beaten them a few times this season. We felt threatened today though and knew we had to show up if we wanted our season to continue. So we were ready to take care of business.†read more > [Hidden Content]

Longview Spring Hill finishes off Robinson baseball, 4-3 By Chad ConineTribune-Herald staff writer Sunday, May 24, 2009 CANTON — The Robinson baseball team showed fight, but Spring Hill showed the ability to finish. The Panthers built a 4-0 lead, then barely held back a Robinson rally in the top of the seventh to claim a 4-3 victory in the Class 3A Region III quarterfinals Saturday afternoon. After rallying from a 3-0 deficit for a 6-3 win in the series opener Thursday night in Ennis, Spring Hill clinched the series and advanced to the regional semifinal to play Bridge City. The Panthers (28-2) finished the regular season at No. 2 in the Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association 3A rankings, one spot ahead of Robinson (24-5), making this regional quarterfinal perhaps a premature meeting of two of the state’s best. And though Spring Hill swept the best-of-three set, Robinson definitely pushed the Panthers. Spring Hill ran its ace pitcher, left-hander Garrett Methvin, to the mound to start Game 2, and for a while, Methvin seemed nearly untouchable. He scattered three hits and struck out nine through the first six innings as the Panthers pulled in front by four runs. “He’s a tough pitcher,†Robinson coach Derek Watson said. “At times we didn’t battle him as hard as we could have. But as we wore him down, we put ourselves in position.†Methvin walked Robinson’s Ryan White to lead off the top of the seventh, giving the Rockets a start to their last-inning rally. But Methvin kept it from escalating quickly by striking out the next two batters. Robinson’s Hunter Abbe and Kory Funk each worked full-count walks to load the bases. Rockets leadoff hitter Matt Walker hit a grounder deep in the hole at second. Spring Hill second baseman Brandon Arden fielded it but didn’t have a play, allowing Walker to drive in pinch-runner Jared Pryor, running for White. That set up Robinson’s Boone Weiss with the bases loaded and the tying run on first. “When we got back up to the top of the order, I felt it,†Watson said. “Boone had a smile and I had a smile.†Weiss doubled off the wall in right-center, driving in Abbe and Zach Yelland, running for Funk. Methvin, who had controlled the game through six innings, gave way with the tying run at third in Walker and the go-ahead run at second in Weiss. Spring Hill coach Griff Mauldin sent Dylan Brown to the mound in relief. Brown faced Robinson No. 3-hole hitter Taylor James, who was 0-for-7 in the series at that point. Still, Watson said there was no one on the Rockets’ roster he would’ve rather had in the batter’s box at that moment than the senior James, a .600 hitter for the season. “I was just worried they were going to walk him,†Watson said. “For four years, he’s been a .500 or better hitter.†But Brown, a right-hander, gave Spring Hill the change of pace it needed as he struck out James on three pitches. Watson said the team that makes it to the state tournament from Region III could be the strongest contender for the state title. Though it won’t be the Rockets, Watson was still pleased with the season. “I told the guys just now that these last two games in no way take away from what we were able to accomplish,†Watson said.

that's ok, let's get to austin , we have all summer.

Bulldogs just too much for Magnolia By Cody Pastorella The Port Arthur News DEER PARK — With a few subtle differences, the Nederland Bulldogs did a repeat of Thursday's Game 1 performance in Saturday night's Game 2. Just like on Thursday, which Nederland won 6-2, the Dogs used a monster inning to break the game open. "That's what I like the most — we're still hungry. I mean, we're playing great team baseball. We're executing on all the little things too but I like that they (the team) are still hungry," Robbins explained. "No one is satisfied about what we've accomplished. We have goals that we intend to reach and there is still work to be done. We're not there yet. We're excited and we're going to enjoy this win until Monday morning but then we go back to work." read more > [Hidden Content]

Gabriel Pruett The Orange Leader VIDOR — Caleb Kellogg saved his best for last. Kellogg, in the biggest game of the year for the Bridge City Cardinals,hurled 6 1/3 innings in a 8-4 victory over the Orangefield Bobcats to send Bridge City to the regional semifinals. The Cardinals move on to face Spring Hill next week. Kellogg gave up four runs with five strike outs and six walks against a highly touted Orangefield offense. “I’m real proud of those guys,†Bridge City coach Chad Landry said. “We came out with a whole new mentality. That is Kellogg’s best outing of the year and it was against the best hitting team he has seen. He did a great job. Our batters have become locked in. Once a few of them got going, it was only a matter of time before the others followed.†read more> [Hidden Content]

Defense and pitching wins games, Nederland is showing how it's done.

Kellogg gives up 5 hits in 6 1/3 to a very good hitting team in Orangefield. Peevy of Orangfield came in a pitched well. It doesn't get any easier for BC as they move on.
