La Porte takes Game 2 against Crosby 4-1, and sweeps the series. BH also swept College Station.

LP vs BH is up next.

Texas Coaches Poll had BH #1 in State and LP #6 last week. Last year, these two teams played one of the better series in the PO’s.

Pretty nice to be able to play a home/home this deep in the PO’s. Especially, when we’re this close to each other.

Y’all are the obvious favorite with your superstar, cast, and experience. But, the Lady Dawgs are pretty balanced, and will give it their all.

I don't think BH is the "obvious favorite" at all. LP came out of a stronger district and BH has struggled lately. BH took extra innings to beat Angleton (who has a losing record) and just squeaked in as a 4th place team. Then, BH was locked in an 0-0 tie with College Station in first game of the second round until the end of the game but barely won 1-0. 

I will agree BH pitching has done well lately, but the hitting has been inconsistent. Honestly I think its a series that can easily go either way. JMO.

The Hill and La Porte are well acquainted. For the past few years, the two teams have met in the first round of the playoffs, this year’s series however, is for a regional title and a ticket to the state semifinals.

The Eagles have prevailed that last two seasons and will be looking to eliminate the Lady Dawgs from the playoffs again and return to the state championships. The Lady Dawgs, on the other hand, would love an upset and send their seniors off with a trip to Austin. This series is one of the most anticipated of the season.

La Porte vs. Barbers Hill

Records: Lady Dawgs 28-4; Eagles 35-4.

The state’ s No. 8 ranked Lady Dawgs and the No. 1 Eagles will have their own Hartman Bridge series this week as the best-of-three game regional championship begins Thursday in Mont Belvieu before crossing the ship channel Friday for a game in La Porte.

The two teams are similar –– they can hit, play defense and pitch –– the only differences may be depth and the ability to create their own luck. At this stage of the season, sometimes it’s as important to be lucky as it is to be good.

The La Porte pitching staff has been a key to the Lady Dawgs success this year and it has shown in the playoffs. Senior Aaliyah Maldonado is the ace of the pitching staff. She’s thrown 23 1/3 innings during the playoffs and is the probable Game 1 starter. Fellow senior Miranda Lozano has also been very good in her 15 2/3 innings pitched during the team’s latest run and sophomore Stori Zacher tossed a shutout to get the team past Hendrickson Friday night.

Leadoff batter Kallie Walker was impressive in the Hendrickson series. The junior batted .400 with two RBIs and three runs scored. Maldonado and Kynlee Arechiga each hit .333, while Julianna Tarango posted a .375 batting average against the Hawks with two RBIs and a run. Delilah Rosales has been very good in the bottom third of the lineup. She went 4-for-8 and scored twice in the three games against Hendrickson.

The Lady Dawgs can manufacture runs from any place in the lineup and usually do.

The Hill reached the regional series in just five games. Staff ace Macie Bryant, and the defense, hadn’t allowed a run in the playoffs until the seventh inning of the semifinal game against East View –– 35 consecutive innings of scoreless softball –– and the offense has outscored their opponents 20-1.

Leading the attack is Aybrie Corona. The infielder has batted .357 in the playoffs with seven RBIs and four runs scored. Catcher Zoey Hood is more than just a defensive player, she is also capable at the plate and is batting .429 with two RBIs and two runs in five playoff games. JosLynn Cooper is sometimes overlooked but her glove at third base and he patience at the plate is top notch. The junior is hitting .438 in the playoffs with two RBIs and three runs scored.

This team is a juggernaut, and it will take exceptional play to derail its return to the state finals.

The first pitch for Game 1 is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Barbers Hill High School. Game 2 is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Friday at La Porte High School. If a third game is needed, it will be played at Crosby at 1 p.m. Saturday.
