ORANGEFIELD — With sole possession of second place in 21-3A on the line the Hamshire-Fannett Longhorns continued to crush the ball and put together a huge fourth inning helped out by a Bobcat error with 2 outs to get a huge 10-6 victory over the Orangefield Bobcats.

With 2 outs and the Bobcats leading 2-1 in the top of the fourth Jake Minaldi hit a ground ball to Bobcat second baseman Jonathan Deramus but the throw to first was off target resulting in a run scoring for the Longhorns. Hamshire-Fannett then ripped off four straight hits and 5 more runs touched home plate in the inning to give the Horns a 7-2 lead that they would not relinquish.

The Longhorns got on the board quickly in the top of the first inning when Jeremy Pinder homered to put H-F up 1-0. The Bobcats answered in the bottom of the second when Derrick Evans doubled to score Quinton Evans and Kyle Fontenot giving Orangefield a 2-1 lead.

Orangefield (16-8, 3-3) responded to the big Longhorn fourth by scoring 2 runs in the bottom of the fifth. Jace Statum led off with a walk and Deramus followed with a RBI double to score Statum. Deramus would later score on a Chase Angelle RBI double to make the score 7-4 Longhorns.

Hamshire-Fannett (16-4, 4-2) would pull away again though in the top of the sixth. After a Pinder single to lead off the inning Taylor Eaves would double to plate Pinder. Pinder would later score on a Lalonde RBI single and padding the Longhorn lead to 9-4.

With the score 10-4 Orangefield made a run at a comeback in the bottom of the seventh. Deramus singled to lead off the inning and after a Jacob Felts strikeout, Angelle would walk to put runners on first and second with 1 out. Zach Peevey then singled to load the bases. Quinton Evans then picked up a RBI single that scored Deramus to make the score 10-5 H-F. Fontenot then hit a sac fly to center field that scored Angelle to make the score 10-6 with 2 outs. Josh Watson then walked to load the bases but Derrick Evans would then ground out to end the threat and ball game.

Hamshire-Fannett finished the game with 14 hits while Orangefield had 11. Orangefield will hit the road Monday to Sour Lake to take on the Hardin-Jefferson Hawks while Hamshire-Fannett travels to West Orange-Stark.

    • naw, maaaaybe 7, definitely not 8 deep.  today im avoiding sitting by #10s parents, had to move away yesterday.   "put my son back in jub, put my son back in"  and then crying on every little touch of someone.    lets ball out today ktz!    
    • Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McnNeese this Friday night at 6pm.
    • I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an easy and obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
