Cardinals take down WO-S, 6-0

BRIDGE CITY — The Bridge City Cardinals beat two things Friday, the West Orange-Stark Mustangs and the rain.

The Cardinals defeated the Mustangs 6-0 Friday at Cardinal Field about 10 minutes before the expected rain began to fall Friday evening.

Caleb Kellogg helped make it a quick affair by pitching a gem on the mound for Bridge City (20-2-1, 8-0) who clinched the District 21-3A championship with the victory.

West Orange-Stark (11-11, 4-4) is still clinging to playoff dreams. The Mustangs are a game behind the Orangefield Bobcats and Hamshire-Fannett Longhorns.

Orangefield (17-8, 4-3) was trailing Silsbee, 5-2, in the bottom of the sixth before the game was postponed until Monday. The Longhorns/Hardin-Jefferson game was also postponed on Friday.

Kellogg worked six innings against the Mustangs and allowed four hits with 10 strike outs and two walks.

Freshman Matt Menard was 2-for-2 at the plate with three RBI and one run.

Menard had a two-run double to center in the bottom of the second to make it 2-0 Bridge City.

The double scored Dylan Mulhollan and Eric Matthews.

Menard picked up another RBI in the bottom of the fourth with a RBI single to left to score Anthony Cessac to make it 3-0.

Menard later scored when Joe Robertson laced a RBI double into left to make it 4-0.

Kellogg, who reached on a double, scored in the bottom of the fifth on a WO-S error.

Robertson scored the Cardinals final run of the night off a wild pitch to make it 6-0.

Matt Hicks was 2-for-4 with two doubles.

Taylor Bonnin, Clayton Gearhart and Justin Sparrow each had hits for the Mustangs. Gearhart singled twice and was 2-for-2.

Cody Hodge worked all six innings for the Mustangs. Hodge gave up 10 hits with three strike outs and two walks.

Blake Snyder worked 2/3 innings for the Cardinals and had two strike outs and Daniel Wallace faced the last batter and got a strike out.

Bridge City returns to action Tuesday with a home game against Orangefield while WO-S will be at home to face Hardin-Jefferson.

    • 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
    • @CIS_org National Security Senior Fellow @BensmanTodd tells Steve Bannon how the U.S. State Department and USAID have been sending American taxpayer funds to religious nonprofits to facilitate mass immigration to our southern border. Bensman says 248 nonprofits are participating in the United Nations’ 2024 agenda to distribute $1.6 billion in cash, transportation, food, and shelter to U.S.-bound immigrants across Mexico and Latin America.
