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

      Heading into the summer and before two a days get going… what are some concerns or positives about your team heading into next season? I’d like to hear from some H-F people because according to some they are the district favorites heading into the season. I’m just trying to pass some time at least until we get our DCTF magazines lol For Bellville my concern is filling some holes on defense… specifically at LB,S, and DT… bright spots ? Basically the entire offensive line returns that paved the way for 3 RBs to rush for more than 1600 yards a  on the season (2 of those RBs will return as well). With all that said Bellville should still be a region favorite this upcoming season.

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

      That’s not a choice, it’s the same thing and equally dangerous.    I’ve literally heard (with my own listening ears) the R County Chairman boast in a speech that “the only time I’ve ever voted for a Democrat was when I voted for Hillary in the Democrat primary! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!” You’ll never guess who is tweeting all over the place about how we need closed primaries this week.  Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.  Escalation of force.  These are concepts that you completely understand and teach.  Whatever we do today, we’ll pay for tomorrow. Impeach a President over something stupid? They’ll impeach yours twice.  Promise to lock up your political rival if you get elected? You can’t cry over somebody else doing it to you… even if you were just blowing a little smoke for the morons.   The old days of “don’t throw rocks if you live in glass houses” has now become “I’m pretty sure I’ve got more rocks than they do.” The frightening thing is that Ds only do it to Rs. Rs do it to Ds and other Rs alike without hesitation.

      Definitely does NOT sound like a fit for PN-G.

      No offense, but both sides do it.  The Rs in Texas want to do away with decades of precedent and demand that Dems are no longer given chair positions on any committees in the Tx House. It sounds reasonable enough, until you arrive at a point when the Ds enjoy a single seat majority in the house, select the most leftist speaker of all times, and the refuse to give Rs any say in the legislative process by refusing to give them any committee chairs.     Experience has shown me that any time a party seeks to consolidate power in a legislative body, it backfires.    What I don’t like is a world where we cheer for Manchin for doing his own thing, but also re-elect guys like Paxton and Patrick when they make threats to R Legislators if they don’t do exactly what the Radical Right demands. Our Rep here in Hardin County lost his spot for voting against private school vouchers-his wife is a teacher. He also voted his conscience on the Paxton impeachment.  It cost him his seat…. Not because of the will of the voters in his district, but because if millions of outside dollars pumped into the race from outside the district and even an endorsement of his unknown challenger by Donald Trump himself.    Why do people like you applaud Manchin for being his own man and then vote against Phelan for doing the same thing?
