Wharton County Jr. College Baseball

[GY55]

Yesterday Wharton played their first fall games against Alvin Community College in Alvin.
The Pioneers split the double header winning the first game 10-2 and dropping the second game 6-1. WB's Arron Morgan went 2-4 with 2 RBI's and threw out 2 stealing 2nd. HF's Kyle Markum went 1-1, stole 2nd base and threw out 1 stealling 2nd. LCM's Hunter Gonzales and
Scott Vaughn both had solid defensive games in the field.
There's a new winning attitude at WCJC and the coaches have the team primed for a fun season.

WCJC just finished a tourney at Blinn this weekend. The Pioneers defeated Angelina, lost to Galveston and tied Blinn and San Jac. Silsbee's Caleb Henry and Lance Brown, both now at Angelina, had solid performances against Wharton.
Wharton's SE Texas connection of Morgan, Markum, Vaughn and Gonzalas are proving to be valuable contributers in the resurgence of the Pioneer baseball program. All four had solid offensive and defensive outings this weekend.

WCJC dropped a hard fought double header to LSUE this past weekend. The SE Texas connection all had solid games despite the outcome of the games. Morgan had a great day throwing out 4 and hitting a solo shot. Vaughn showed off his skills at 2nd playing some of his best defense of the season. Gonzales covered everything hit to right field and held runners to one base. Markum was again solid behind the plate and had 1 RBI. WCJC should be in good shape for the Spring. They are working hard and learning a lot about their team this Fall by playing tough opponents.

Openning day for the WCJC Pioneers is this Friday 1/27/12 in Wharton against San Jac at 6:00.
Saturday's double-header will be at San Jac starting at 2:00. The SETX connection has been joined by HF's Jeremy Pender.
Pender will add a lot of speed the WCJC's lineup.
Should be a good series.

Go, PIONEERS!  I'm from Eagle Lake (25 miles from Wharton) and my Big Brother Hero played football for Coach Johnny Frankie at WCJC.  Great memories.

Both teams showed strong pitching and the start their double header today at 2. Great opening day for WCJC.
