20-4a probably has better pitching and over a 3 game series this should be the deciding factor. I look for 20-4a to go 3-1, but should be some good series. 7 o'clock can't get here soon enough.

MIF04 I think you forgot about Kirby Bellow. He is probably the top pitcher in the area. Lefty's that throw in the high 80's with nasty sliders usually can have their pick of colleges.

UT wins today 5-4 to take the series 2 games to 1. Both of these teams should make good runs in the postseason.

He went 8 or 9 and threw 199 pitches. I don't know how he was able to pick up his arm the next day.

I would say Hicks probably throws the hardest out of anyone in the area consistently. There is not much difference in his velocity in the 1st inning and the last. He doesn't wear down and works in the mid to high 80's for entire games.

You are correct in one respect: there aren't near as many dominant pitchers in the area as there has been in the past. Although I don't recall very many of those listed that dominated and advanced his team all the way to Austin. Sure seemed like Jasper should have done that with the lefty Girdley throwing mid-90s, but it was a team without some of those pitching stars that aren't around any longer that went to Austin and brought back the crown. One reason Girdley didn't lead Jasper to state is he had to face my team, and pitch against Brad Sullivan and Jesse Floyd. This kinda proves Baseball25's point. There were 3 pitchers in this series drafted by major league teams, and 2 of them in the 1st round. There is just not that kind of talent in the area this year. I will say that most of the better pitchers in the area are underclassmen and still have a chance to improve in the next year or two.

Ross Hales throws complete game 3 hit shutout to defeat the Longhorns. Great game from the freshman lefty.

One question for Vidor fans. Hester pinch hit in this game and got a single, would he be available to DH in the playoffs? He is probably your best hitter and could be a huge asset in the post season if his shoulder holds up.

Final 9-0. Bellow complete game 3 hitter. Nederland wins district.
