   I cannot figure out the outfield lights. This game wouldn't be close if two deep high fly balls in center and rightcenter are picked up by the defense. Then, the infield is about 50/50 on bad bounces. Brenham is winning there, maybe why Long likes it, but certainly both teams face the same obstacles.
  Santa Fe made some great diving catches in the outfield on some ropes, maybe the problem occurs when the ball is hit high. the two we lost were pro fly outs, way up there.

Most newer light poles have "capped" light fixtures. The purpose is to use less bulbs and keep the light concentrated on the playing surface. The problem is that the light does not "go up", so to say, and OF's tend to lose high fly balls.
