Brenham vs. Port Neches-Groves Game 1 Thread/PN-G leads series 1-0!

[iceman00]

great game by both teams... alot of heart on the PNG side. especially from the catcher provost the kid hustles throughout the whole game

[BrenhamFan]

Congrats to the Indians...  I promise you this though; Brenham will be pumped up, and ready to defend the state title!  Were down, but not out...  Hopefully this is a wake up call.  It's gonna be a long busride home with coach Long in their ear all the way back.  I said if PNG won the 1st game, that Brenham would take the series in 3.  Now they just have to prove me right....  

Go Cubs!

Good game. PNG never backed down. Should be an interesting weekend for these two teams.
The caught stealing in the 6th was huge.

....and at the very least, a questionable decison with a 2 for 3 D-1 hitter up.

[ndn2016]

anybody have stats on provost caught stealing percentages for the year?

By the coaches reaction, it was not what he called. At the very least, you do not just "run" into the tag with a runner on 3rd.

Lol. Not too good after blowing a 5-0 lead... >:(

I liked el Toros up until now!  Bad luck!

Friday can't get here soon enough....  Schlottmann to the rescue!

Just got back from the game! WoW is all I can say. Hopefully that knucklehead group of umps don't call the rest of the series. There were several bad calls in the field and behind home plate. Ump behind the plate wouldn't give Stone corners for nothing, the play at second was a joke with nobody making the call, and there was a runner trying to get back to first that was hosed by Provost that was called safe. Can someone also let the NDN staff know not to throw a curveball on a 1-2 count when the Brenham batters are behind the fastball. Both times for a HR. If a hitter is swinging after the ball is in the catchers glove, please throw the gas and sit him down, not the duece. First time, I've seen a ump tell a team to get back in the dugout when the team that scored a run go out and congradulate the runner. My rant is over and I'm happy the NDNS pulled one out. Also, I've never seen so many foul balls by one team (Brenham) in a game.

The bad calls went both ways...  I too hope we don't see these umps again.  Again, congrats Indians.  Yall showed heart.  A lot teams would have curled up and died after trailing the #1 team in the state 5-0, halfway through the game.

The only call that I remember that went against ya'll was the play at first base where the catcher threw down and I think our guy was out. The other play at first was tie goes to the runner ;D Did you hear when I told the ump that he dropped his blue bell ice cream out of his pocket! :D ;D

actually, the homerun in the 5th was on a high outside fastball. because in my hand i was hoping Stone would have thrown a backfoot curve ball. he was set up perfect for it. and also, the homerun in the 3rd  he tripled up on curveballs and thats what happened. he had him set up perfect for the high and inside heat. oh well...got the job done on the diamond and now looking for the sweep.  Lets go boys

Everybody was good to me, and it was a lot of fun....  Now if I can get through today, tomorrow we can tie this series up!  I can't remember the last time we lost 2 straight.  (Maybe 2 years ago) Tick, tock...  Come on Friday night!

BTW, got a chance to meet and talk with the PNG QB, Doty.
Outstanding, respectful, very good mannered young man....If his parents read this...well, job well done !
Best of luck to him at Univ. of Oregon.
