High School Baseball Playoffs: Bulldogs bring it all together in 6-2 win over Bellville

It was one of those games where it all came together for the Carthage Bulldogs baseball team.

Or as Coach Jason Causey said, the team played like their philosophy.

“Our philosophy is pitching and defense, and if you can do those two things you’re going to have a chance to win any game you play,” he said. “That’s us, and if we continue to do that we’ll be pretty good.”

 

The Bulldogs were exceptional.

Todd Register went 3-for-4 at the plate with a double an RBI and two runs scored and Noah Paddie went 2-5 with two RBIs as Carthage defeated Bellville 6-2 in the first game of the best of three 4A regional semifinal series on Thursday night at Lamar University.

Senior Javarian Roquemore got the win on the hill throwing five and 2/3 innings, allowing only two hits, two earned runs, walking five and striking out five. Sophomore reliever Matthew Smith pitched the final two and 1/3 innings to pick up the save. Smith allowed two hits, no runs, no walks and struck out two.

“My fastball and off speed (pitch) at times until it got out of hand at the end,” Roquemore said of what was working on the hill. “But I went right back to my fastball and let them guys play defense, and they held onto it for me.”

Carthage (24-9-2) played a stellar defense turning multiple double plays and didn’t commit a single error in the game. Factor in scoring the first five runs of the game, and positive results seemed destined for the Bulldogs.

“Everybody was hitting tonight,” Register said. “One through nine, drag bunts, singles, doubles. Everybody was seeing it good and barreling it up.”

No. 9 hitter Ty Chambers went 2-4, Braden Smith had two RBI singles, while Roquemore and younger brother Jakerrian Roquemore both singled and scored in the game.

Roquemore gave up a single to Carson Paschel to start the third inning but got the next three Bellville hitters in order. “It takes everybody, and we got hits 1-9 nine tonight,” Paddie said. “If you give a dude like (Roquemore) on the mound five runs to play with, he’s going to be really tough to hit. He could come right at batters and he knows he can give up one or two runs and be OK.”

 

The Bulldogs scored three runs in the top of the fourth inning, when Register and Smith both delivered RBI hits.

Connor Cuff and Javarian Roquemore reached on a walk and hit by pitch, and both ended up scoring. 

Bellville (26-6-1) got both their runs in the bottom of the sixth on a Blake Linseisen two RBI single.

Smith came in the game after Roquemore allowed the single and ended the inning with a strikeout of Paschel.

Causey was proud to see his team get double digit hits in a game, especially in the fourth round of the postseason.

“Offensively we had 10 hits off of a pretty good arm,” he said. “We did enough things offensively to take advantage and get some runs on the board. Played good defense behind both guys — turned a couple of doubles. It was a good win.”

Seeing Register come alive at the plate meant a lot; he had been in a slump —  more so everything he hit was ended up right at somebody.

“Todd has been squaring a lot of balls up since district, and he’s had a lot of tough luck,” Causey said. “He just hadn’t had the results and it’s been frustrating, but we’ve been talking to him about staying with his approach, and eventually some of those were able to fall and they were fortunate enough to fall today.”

Carthage took care of business on Thursday night, and now they will look to close out the series on Saturday against Bellville.

Both teams will return to Lamar University on Saturday at 5 p.m. for Game 2 of the series. If necessary, a Game 3 will take place 30 minutes after the conclusion of Game 2.

Causey will give Braeden Wade the ball as the Bulldogs look to sweep the Brahamas.

“We have to be ready to go, that’s a good ball club,” Causey said of Bellville. “We have to come out throwing strikes, and that start’s with B. Wade. If he comes out and gives us a chance and plays good defense, we’ll have a chance to win. That’s a good team over there, so we have to come out ready to play.”

Carthage 4 Mid 5th

Bellville loads the bases 0 outs…. Sends a runner on a shallow fly ball and is thrown out at home for a double play… next batter flys out… that’s frustrating. I understand you need a run but the ball wasn’t deep at all

      Starting pitching has been shaky the last few weeks due to some injuries outside of Hagen Smith.  He goes tomorrow, so y’all should be fine

      West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin leaves Democratic Party, registers as independent

      By tvc184 · Posted

      Manchin may get it but any mention of the radical left that wanted to get rid of the filibuster and end almost 220 years of history because the Democrats are mad?  The House and Senate are obviously different legislative bodies with entirely different election processes and rules for a reason. The House can vote on laws with a simple majority vote. The Senate put rules in place that it would make it much tougher to pass laws. Laws should be difficult to pass. The Senate is often the holdup of the right and left. It takes 60 votes to break the filibuster so any law will almost certainly require agreement at least in part, from opposing sides of an issue. Because they can’t get laws passed, the radical left is like a baby having a tantrum and wants to change over 200 years of history and make it potentially ridiculously easy to pass laws. I have seen current poll maps and it is possible for the Republicans to sweep into complete power in November but by the tiniest margin. That would possibly mean that a single vote margin in both houses could enact what you might call the radical right laws. There would be nothing that the Democrats could do to stop any legislation whatsoever if the left (they are all radical, minus Manchin) got their filibuster rule changed.  That is where the current filibuster comes into play as any new law would require several Democrats to agree with the majority Republicans and vice versa.  Do you want the potential for your radical right to have free rein as the radical left wants by killing the filibuster or is the radical left just as (if not more) dangerous? Let’s see if we have a history in this area? Oh yeah, the Democrats changed the rules in the Senate to allow federal judges to not have to overcome the filibuster. Obama was not getting his federal judge nominations passed and being angry, they changed the rules instead of nominating more moderate justices. They were warned that it would come back to bite them. They didn’t care and chose the nuclear option to change the rules. Oops! Any guess how Trump got all of his Supreme Court nominees passed against strong Democrat opposition? The Democrats got rid of the filibuster for federal judges after another tantrum   So when you are so worried about the radical right, are you equally concerned in what the radical left is always doing by changing rules and history which were put into place just for situations like we are in? So while Manchin gets it, what about his other 50 colleagues (49 + Harris)?  What concerns you more, Abbott and Paxton or the Democrats who want to make it to where if the Republicans do take over, they can go wild… at least in your mind?

      MODS please remove that ISD twitter link! I had no idea it would copy the whole posting. I only highlighted the portion about the venue change. Sorry about that!
