PhatMack19 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 Which team wanted the 1 game series? That's kind of unusual in the 3rd round.

That's kind of unusual in the 3rd round.[/quote]It was us. Coach was worried that our ace was hurt, he was not. He pitched 6 innings, 95 pitches of shutout ball and our Big boy, Hibbs came in and ended the game with 4 pitches, 3 weak half swing fooled by the inside heat ground balls! Friendswood rolled the dice and won. Our pitching and defense won this game!We all hate one game series, but it was a good move if your pitchig depth is of concern. Angleton coach was whining that it was a one game series in the paper today. Well guess what - his number 2, Murphy, hurt his knee the game before and had to leave this game , playing SS, in the 2nd. No way he could pitch today. Masters pitched for the first time in weeks against HISD Austin and looked rusty - hit 3 batters and his velocity was average for him. One game was Angleton's best hope also in hindsight!
BrenhamFan Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Posted May 20, 2011 Sorry. Usually the stronger team prefers a 3 game series, so I figured it was Angleton who wanted 1 game. IMO, Friendswood is better, so that was my reasoning behind that.

Thanks for the props, but on paper Angleton looked better with those batting averages. But that did not play out thursday night. Can not trust high school stats when we all play such different levels of tournament play, preseason games and depth of district pitching.
BrenhamFan Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Posted May 20, 2011 Congrats on the win Friendswood! It's still a ways off, and theres some quality teams in front of both teams, but possibly a rematch of last years regional final.

But we will battle to get there!

So far, so good, as were 4-0 against those 2 teams this year. As for Friendswood, y'all gave us all we wanted and then some last year, and came in state ranked this year. Good luck to y'all!
