Best Of Baseball Times
Sportsdate 5 – 26 – 2009
Texarkana Gunslingers sweep weekend series against the Coastal Kingfish. Texas High eliminates Mesquite Poteet in dramatic fashion. Pleasant Grove literally is forced to battle it’s way through a weekend playoff series against district rival Pittsburg, and the Maud Cardinals elminate the state’s number 1 ranked Class A team Price Carlile.
Saint Louis claims the title of baseball town America, but Texarkana may soon wish to challenge that. There is a decent chance that two city teams could make the state tournament, and Maud from just up the road could be joining them.
In recent years Liberty Eylau, Hooks, and Trinity Christain have represented the city in state title games. As good as the football is here in Texarkana, I will always argue that this is a baseball town.
If you are not enjoying the best of baseball times here, you must not get baseball. That is too bad because Texarkana is getting the best that the diamond has to offer.
