Dawgs play series with Bridge City

By TED LEACH

DEEP EAST TEXAS - Down around Lufkin, where tall pines grow, Bridge City and Carthage will clash in a best-of-three class AAA region semifinal baseball series that promises to be magnificent in magnitude,  spectacular in color and hotter than a $2 pistol, if you get the drift.

The series begins Thursday at 7 p.m. at Woodville (Bridge City's home site). It will resume Saturday at high noon in Morris Frank Park at Lufkin. If a third game is necessary, it will follow game two after a 30-minute respite.

Carthage (28-0) is the district 20-AAA champion and top-ranked outfit in the Texas. Bridge City (26-5) was ranked fifth in the recent poll.

The Cardinals lost to Jasper by one game in the battle for the 21-AAA crown with 12-2 and 11-3 records, respectively. Carthage won by two games over Hudson, 14-0 to 12-2.

Jasper and Lufkin Hudson are also in a region semifinal showdown. That winner will play Carthage or Bridge City next week for a trip to the state tournament.

Bridge City returned outfielder Johnny Dishon, second baseman Troy Bolton, pitchers Phillip Meeks and Jeff String and catcher Casey Jackson from a team that was a state semifinalist before losing 7-3 to Liberty-Eylau last season.

The Cardinals beat Cameron Yoe 9-5, 6-3 in the 2006 region finals to get to state.

Carthage lost last summer to Liberty-Eylau in region II play.

Dawgs' mentor Shaun Schumacher expects a pitcher's duel, but Bridge City knows his young guns can whack the ball at will. They had 11 hits in only four at bats to blast Cameron-Yoe, 11-1, in area play and followed with 14 hits in a 10-0 romp over Taylor in the region quarterfinals last week, 11 of which came in the final four stanzas.

14-0 and 12-2 are their districts records not the game scores.  I think the scores were 4-0 and 6-4.

Yes, according to our conversation with the Hudson coaches, the game scores were 4-0 and 6-4.  Obviously here they are talking about district records as the context above clearly shows.

Thanks for clearing that up!
