CTX had 2 on in the top of the 9th, no outs, and the tying run at the plate, who lines to the SS. Cal Lu gets the Triple Play!

I was right behind the plate and that ball was absolutely smoked.  Heck of a way to end a game.

     West #1 seed, and Nationally Ranked #5 Texas Tyler could only manage 3 hits and are eliminated by CTX!

Congrats CTX for avoiding elimination and moving on to play again on Saturday.

That is the tying run at the plate. The rally caps are working. The dugout voo-doo is invoked.

That has got to be a "Walk-off Triple Play"!

Balance in the West Region.

Will depend on how the rest of the regional plays out -- this is a premature assumption which is favorable to the ASC but has only 40% of the precincts reporting, as it were.

I'm guessing Walk Off Triple Play in Regionals is a rarity

Wow! Rhodes beat both UT-Tyler and Linfield.

Congratulations Coach Carnahan on an outstanding career at Linfield.

Another great pitching performance by CLU.  Nate Wehner complete game in CLU 8-2 victory.
CLU scored 5 in the fifth to break a scoreless tie, and a couple more in the 8th for good measure.

CLU heads to winners bracket vs Rhodes on Sat.

Jack Parkman, it was good to meet you tonight.  Thanks for finding me.

Cool that Cal LU is doing so well.  Wish my guy hadn't hung up his cleats.  But them are the breaks, as they say. 

Looked to me at first like this years team had significantly less talent than last year's team.  But they've gone farther already.

West seems very down this year.  UT Tyler does its usual 0-2 and done.   There is no Linfield 13 or Trinity 15 and 16 team in the field.  Those teams had Strong Arms and bats.    Rhodes is the team on a roll after beating Bir Southern last week on their turf.  Cal Lu has been so close all these years.   One of those teams should make its first appearance in Appleton.
