Baseball Tonight
Sportsdate 6 – 4 – 2009
The Texas High Tigers were tamed by McKinney North and their submarine pitcher this evening here in town on the THS campus. North won the game 2 – 1. The Tigers were held scoreless until Nathan Sorenson’s solo home run in the bottom of the seventh. The Regional series for a trip to Austin moves to McKinney for what the Tigers hope will be a double header Saturday afternoon.
As this is being blogged, it appears Maud will split their double header with the Overton Mustangs over in Mount Pleasant tonight. After winning the opener, they trail the Mustangs 8 – 1 in the nightcap. Their third and final game for a trip to Austin will be in Tatum on Saturday.
Also as I put this to bed, the Texarkana Gunslingers lead the Coastal Kingfish 12 to 3 in the bottom of the eighth. Tonight the Gunslingers offered fans free admission to try out the CBL under new local ownership this season. A total of 646 fans took the team up on the offer giving the team by far their largest crowd of the season.
Gunslinger attendence was even more impressive considering the fact that Texas High was playing right across Summerhill Road before a standing room only size crowd, and the city of Texarkana was offering a free movie in Springlake Park tonight.
Pleasant Grove had the night off as their Saturday opponent Princeton held it’s graduation ceremonies this evening. They play again Saturday in their Class 3A Regional showdown. The Hawks lead the series 1 – 0, and can punch their ticket to Austin with a win over the Panthers on Saturday in Mount Pleasant.
