The wind is blowing out pretty good from what I was told.  It doesn't seem to be helping Nederland too much though.

HOUSTON — Montgomery coach Chris Morris said he “got a little nervous” when the Bears were taking batting practice before Game 2 of their Region III-4A quarterfinal series against Nederland on Saturday.

The wind at Clear Lake High School’s Bob Cobb Field was blowing up to 20 mph and usually in the direction of right-center field.

That’s where the first three of Montgomery’s five home runs went in a 15-5 victory over the Bulldogs called after five innings because of the mercy rule.

“I was just trying to get a hit, to get on base,” Bears first baseman Ty Boland said with a grin.

Boland drilled a two-run home run to right-center field in the first inning. In the second, after the first of six Nederland pitching changes, Boland crushed a 3-2 pitch from the Bulldogs’ Carson Raines for a two-run home run to left-center.

Boland finished 3 for 3 with the two homers and a double.

Montgomery (30-5-1) will face tradition-rich Tomball in the Region III-4A semifinals. The Bears have won four consecutive playoff games.

“Normally, I like to play in big ballparks,” Morris said. “The ball just flies out of here. We hit the ball out, but we hit the ball hard, too. They squared it up pretty good.”

Montgomery also showed patience at the plate, drawing six walks while handling a small strike zone.

Bears right-hander Mason Mize didn’t give up a hit until Nederland struck for five runs in the top of the fourth inning. Montgomery answered with six runs in the top of the fifth, and ended the game by turning a double play.

Boland said the Bears knew they’d faced the Bulldogs’ best pitcher, Mitchell Sanderson, in a 3-1 victory in Game 1 on Friday night. Nederland coach Cody Robbins was scrambling on Saturday, even going back to his starting pitcher, Jared Ramoin, after the Bears scored six runs in the bottom of the second.

Montgomery’s Will Fox drilled a three-run home run to right-center in that inning.

Leadoff man Garrett Hrozek opened the scoring with a homer to right-center against Ramoin in the first.

“If you get it up in the wind like it was today, it’s going to go out,” Boland said.

Montgomery’s Nate Van Dyke hit his team’s final home run, a three-run shot over the 25-foot wall in center field in the fourth. Boland had a double off the fence in left-center field in that inning.

“We thought the ball was going to carry today,” Van Dyke said, “but probably not to the degree that it did.”

Boland, who will play at Oklahoma’s Seminole State College next season, leads the Bears with five home runs.

“Ty’s just a good hitter,” Morris said. “He doesn’t get nervous. Even with two strikes, he takes a good approach at the plate.”

Mize gave up five consecutive hits in the top of the fourth but struck out back-to-back batters to end the inning and limit the damage to five runs.

“We were still relaxed after the five spot,” Van Dyke said.

As his three-run homer in the bottom half of the fourth would indicate.
