Extended game one highlights:

 

[Phil Elliott]

1) Who plays at that stadium over by Five Points/Robstown?

It used to be for an independent minor league team that went belly up when the Hooks came to town.

Questions":

1) Who plays at that stadium over by Five Points/Robstown?

2) When they build the new super port, will the park they played in tonite be torn down?

1) crickets

2) no

 

[Chop]

Could be the only team playing there ...???

To any California or Yankee transplants, YES, such a high school team does exist, and they are quite proud of their agricultural heritage. Their head baseball coach, Elias Vasquez, Jr.:

 

[SabreHorn]

Used to be the home of Joe Cotton's BBQ, one of the state's best.

 

[huisache]

The Cottonpickers have a very nice stadium of their own right adjacent to the high school

They are very proud of their name, unlike those of us from Beeville, whose teams are named after a popular, inexpensive but fairly effective condom.

The Cottonpickers have a very nice stadium of their own right adjacent to the high school

Have they built a new one recently? When I was there with my son about 5 years ago for a baseball tournament, it was kind of a dump.

As Daniel Webster allegedly said of Dartmouth, “it is small, sir, but there are those of us who love it”

lots of excellent baseball has been played there

 

[huisache]

It is windy and real cool down here and was raining a bit earlier today. Perfect weather for baseball.
44 degrees at 3:40

 

[Run Pincher]

Good to see the stadium full of people in cold weather. Looks like it could be a sellout.

 

[Chop]

That was the most perfect bunt.

 

[Chop]

Fielders choice. Got another run in.

3-1 good guys!

 

[Chop]

Gordon’s still looking strong after 4 and only 1 run in.

 

[Run Pincher]

The camera work is horrible. The plays at first and they switch to the camera showing Ardoin walking across the plate. Faltine was safe, but I have no idea how since I didn't get to see it and it looked like it shoulda been a routine play.

 

[Chop]

Oops

don’t see that very often from Faltine

 

[Run Pincher]

Yea, that was a routine play when I was in little league. Now another error and bases loaded. Texas trying to blow this one.

 

[Run Pincher]

Damn, now tied. I think all their runs are unearned. Are we sure that isn't the softball team in disguise?

 

[Chop]

Ugggh.

Rough 5th inning with a big error on what should have been an easy infield catch, and a two run double. Put some of it on Gordon, but mostly not…



4-4

Light up those bats boys!

 

[Chop]

Enter Blair, our transfer P from Winthrop. He did well against Rice. Need to shut them out from runs in the sixth through ninth.

Go Horns!!!

 

[Chop]

Yeah!!!!

Blair brings the heat and strikes him out swinging! No runs in the 6th.

 

[Chop]

Skye Messinger with the go-ahead deep sac fly!!!

5-4 us

 

[Chop]

Luke Harrison on the mound. He looked sharp bs Rice. Need some more scoreless innings pitched here.

 

[Chop]

Nice work by Luke Harrison. Scoreless 7th inning. The ump may have given him some calls on a few pretty low looking strikes. Ump is cold and wants to go home…

 

[Horn6721]

Did the audio go out on the tv link?

 

[Horn6721]

never mind

 

[FWHORN]

Nixon on to try and close this out,

 

[Chop]

Woah!

We’re bringing in the big gun to close it out. Nixon.

Harrison gave us a couple of good innings. He’s looking like a keeper.

 

[FWHORN]

Swinging K for out number 1.
