In 18-4A it's the usual suspects at the top.  With 6 games left its down to 5 teams.  Brenham is at the top with a 9-1 record.  Next is 8-2 Montgomery with 7-3 Magnolia in third.  Caney Creek at 7-4 is currently in the 4th playoff spot, but 6-5 Magnolia West isn't far behind.  We'll meet 17-4A in the bi-district round.  That district looks pretty much wrapped up as well. 17-4A Georgetown 8-0 Hutto          8-0 Connally      5-2 Bastrop        5-3

Brenham Soph  Ryan Newman 7th HR SR  Dayne Wunderlich 7th HR JR  Dakota Brewton  2nd HR

Rained out.  Game tomorrow.

The Cubs look to avenge their only district loss.

[/quote] Which smaller schools are you talking about?? [/quote] Brenham, LaMarque, Navasota, Stephenville & Dayton.  Those schools have under 1,500 students and have consistently beat schools with a 2000+ enrollment.

If the rain holds off, the Cubs will look to avenge their only district loss tomorrow against Magnolia West.  If the Mustangs can manage to catch lightning in a bottle twice, they will place themselves in a great spot to get into the playoffs.

[quote name="DaytonBaseball101" post="1390182" timestamp="1364655824"] Well Brenham fan and Critter . The first problem we have is it was a judgment call versus a rules call . We went into the bottom of the 8th inning down 3-2 to creek after leading entire game up until top of 7th 2-0 . Hats off to creek , they hit a 2 run shot to tie it up and ended up forcing extra innings . They scored 1 in top of 8th , we come up in the bottom of the 8th , and we have a player smash the ball to left , we actually thought it was gone . Ball clearly came off of wall and outfield caught it with his bare hand , turned and fired it into the shortstop . Meanwhile our batter/runner is coming into 2nd with what everyone including creek thinks is a stand up double . Low and behold , the umpires called him out , declaring the outfielder had caught the ball . Lets just say it got a little crazy for a few minutes after that . So to sum it up , we should have a runner in 2nd , next batter hits a ball to the gap which woul have scored runner on 2nd , batter ends up with a double . Should be tied back up 3-3 now . The runner on second ends up scoring from second on a play that resulted in an error on the throw to first on a ground ball play , which should have made it 4-3 broncos bottom of 8th inning ball game over no need to continue . And there you have it . I know there is nothing that can be done about it now . But what a horrible way to lose a game for the broncos . Baseball gods where looking after creek that night I guess .  8) [/quote] Sounds like a bad break.  In 2010 we lost to Rudder 4-3, on a swinging strikeout.  The thing is, the ball was low but never hit the ground.  Instead of extra innings, our catcher makes a bad throw due to hesitating and the runner at second scores.  We played them again the next week in a tourney and won 10-0 and eventually won state that year.  Y'all get SC again, maybe y'all will have the same fortune.

[quote name="DaytonBaseball101" post="1390166" timestamp="1364619372"] It's really sad when a mistake can cost a team a ball game of last nights importance between Summer Creek  , and Dayton . Any ideas on what can be done to prevent these types of mistakes from happening . Usually a bad call here and there is going to happen , and they generally don't have a direct impact on the outcome of a ball game . The blunder last night snatched the victory straight out of the hands of the Broncos . [/quote] ?

Things getting tight for the 3rd & 4th spot.
