  6. Tarkington 23 Anahuac 0/Final

    Man support is tough over there at Anahuac. A new staff that comes in late July and they are struggling some that's a shocker. Hopefully the rest of Anahuac is not jumping out of the boat and into the bay like you. I only know one of the coaches over there but from what he has told me it is a great place and will get it turned around. Hopefully it's soon and there is from left for you on the bandwagon.

    Moralez's gem lifts Goose Creek Memorial past George Ranch Richard Dean | May 15, 2014 | Updated: May 15, 2014 11:45pm
     

    PEARLAND – Any time Goose Creek Memorial has Mario Moralez on the mound, the Patriots have a good chance to win. No matter the opponent.

    On Thursday, Memorial opened its three-game series at Dawson baseball complex against state-ranked George Ranch with a 1-0 win behind an one-hit shutout from Moralez, who retired his last 10 batters and struck out seven.

    "Tonight, he kept the ball down, changed speeds and did a great job," said Memorial coach Charlie Thames. "That's a great team over there and he did a great job just attacking them."

    The Patriots scored only once off George Ranch senior starter Grant Page, who threw 123 pitches. Page allowed only a fifth-inning sacrifice fly by Chase Ball that scored Shannon Broussard, who had the first of three singles to start the inning.

    Moralez, a righthanded sophomore was superb, allowing only a single to Alex Shaver, the first batter he faced, and one walk, in a game that took only an hour and 38 minutes to play.

    "I had my off-speed going, I could throw that first pitch for a strike" said Moralez. "I had them off balanced. But we have to finish this series."

    Ball, who drove in the lone run, worked a 0-2 count into a nine-pitch, full count at-bat. To George Ranch's credit, the Longhorns allowed only the one run in the fifth after Broussard, Coby Schumaker and Kelton Price singled.

    Broussard and Price had two hits each for the Patriots, who had seven hits, including Malik Michel's seventh inning double and a single by Moralez in the sixth.

    The two teams play here again on Friday at 7:30 p.m. for the second game of the three-game series.

    "We lost the first one last series, so we know what they're capable and we've done it before," said Thames. "So we're going to try to guard against that."

    George Ranch shortstop Cameron Boudreaux made a nice diving catch to his left, on a hard-hit ball by Broussard, to start a 6-3 double play for the first two outs of the second inning. Boudreaux made another diving stop for an assist to second base on the final out of the sixth, with the Patriots stranding two runners.

    District 23-4A champion George Ranch is ranked fourth in state in Class 4A. The Longhorns reached the regional quarterfinals by beating Galveston Ball in the opening round, then sweeping Stratford in the second round of the playoffs.
