_{Just don't let their girl pitcher strike you out GCM haha.}

 

_{They are a very good team, stone garrett OF is a rice signee and should be drafted pretty high. Catcher is also a Tulane commit.}

[Peppermint Patty]

Stone Garrett will most likely never see Rice University.

[Steven Avery]

Ive never seen him do much on the field but skill wise he measures way up there.

 

The girl is old Astros reliever John Hudeks daughter...only throws 78 but has good stuff and can change speeds...lefty...usually a good hitters nightmare not to mention the added pressure of a girl pitching.  Looking forward to the Friday night game.

[Peppermint Patty]

I know, but all the scouts seem to love hum. I have not figured out how this system works yet. 

[Peppermint Patty]

All games at Pearland Dawson.

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.

Sarah Hudek comes into the game in extra innings. Gets walked with bases loaded and then pitches and gets the W in the 8th. GRHS has the BELIEVE factor and advances to round 4 . Great game for the female phenom for GRHS.

Sarah Hudek comes into the game in extra innings. Gets walked with bases loaded and then pitches and gets the W in the 8th. GRHS has the BELIEVE factor and advances to round 4 . Great game for the female phenom for GRHS.

You missed the most impressive part where she came in with runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out in the bot of the 7th. Season was on the line and GCM's best player was at the plate. She got him to ground out while holding the runner and next guy to fly out. 

[PURPLE 4EVER]

I was in a Gifted and Talented "GT" training update during the game on Saturday.
What an impressive finish for Sarah.  Great girl (as is almost all of the students at GRHS).

Is George Ranch where most of the kids that play Lamar LL go? I figured that school took most of those kids when it opened. If so, I think there's still some of those kids from those great Lamar LL teams from several years ago. Just curious.
