3/1-3

Mckinneys a real solid team, hit the ball well and have pretty good pitching they'll be tough. Sherman is a streaky team, they go out and play a top tier team like North to the wire then get beat up pretty good in their host tournament so who knows about them but they've got a few players. As for Lakeview I have no clue, but good luck.

McKinney North wins Newman Smith tournament for the 3rd year in a row.

Can someone explain how you can end a Tournament Championship Game in a tie? I am beginning to believe that Train may actually have it figured out!

Flower Mound 5
Rowlett 5

7 Innings

Someone please shed light on this for me. Tournaments that end in a tie? Does this actually happen?

Congrats to Plano East and McKinney North on their Tourney Championships....

JAFO- Especially when the game before that game went an extra inning at least. Quite disapointing probably for both teams.

dtiger,

You hit the nail on the head. I thought that game was an extra inning affair. Very good point. It was disappointing in the lines of the great "lightning indicator fiasco". But who am I to say anything.

San Antonio Reagan wins its second tournament in a row. Last weekend, it won the Border Olympics in Laredo and this weekend, it played in the Boerne tourney, defeating Boerne H.S. 13-4, Killeen Ellison 3-2, Corpus Christi Calallen 3-2, and San Antonio Holmes 8-5. Reagan is now 11-0-1 with a 2-0 district record.

Congrats to Plano East and a great tournament this weekend.

Sorry I missed you PD yesterday, wasn't sure which of all of those Plano fans were you, and I had to leave quick to start drill team duty with 16 year old daughter.

JAFO,

You weren't the only one wondering how a Championship game ended in a tie after 7 in Flower Mound????? What's the deal with that

As Dtiger said - very disappointing indeed

Congrats to SA Reagan on the win this weekend and last.....

Pretty ridiculous that they would end the Championship game of the tourney in a tie, but let the third place game go over the 2hr limit .. basically extra innings.. That makes no sense???

Look at it this way -- it prevented one of the teams from a loss.

PD - way to look for the silver lining!

Congrats to McKinney North and Plano East on their tournament wins!
Congrats to Flower Mound and Rowlett on their tie - co-champs!

Panther Dad, do you know a player at East, Clay Thomas??? Is he playing on varsity or JV??

Clay is a senior outfielder, having an excellent season so far -- and he's a Prestonwood kid -- do they get any better?

The tie game isn't as bad as when I witnessed a s***** game qualifying the USA for the W**** C** between them and Mexico decided by a coin flip. The most rediculous end to a game ever. Of course it's s*****. Also, as a side note, I'm too lazy to check any spelling errors tonight.

Guess so......but wouldn't you really rather know? In my humble opinion, the record is not half as important as seeing how the team will perform under pressure in the extra innings. Just a thought. It was a really good game until the 8th.......wait there was no eighth.

Ok, I'm done, before PD puts me under quarantine.

I'm thinking someone???? did not want a loss on their record!!!!!!!!!

Rockwall played in the Centex Classic in Round Rock this weekend. Even though they went 2-3 they found out alot about their team for the season. They lost a close one to the Woodlands, 6-5, in the last inning with the bases loaded and lost to Westwood, 6-5, which came down to the end as well. Pitching and hitting looked good with a few bumps here and there but looking very positive for their district opener on tuesday against Garland at rockwall.

What? No comment from the FM contingent, to defend their honor?
I also found it quite amusing they would not allow heaters in the park for the parents per the school district, but would allow one in the FM dugout? Home cooking if you ask me. Speaking of home cooking, just to show there are no sour grapes here, they have a really nice grill that I was very envious of.

I thought both Flower Mound and Rowlett played one heck of a ballgame. But here is my question, since they let the previous game go extra innings with no time constraints...did they end it so they wouldn't cause injury to any arms? It was quite a bit cooler than when Jesuit and Boyd played. That is the only thing I can think of.

It could have been the field umpire pulled a muscle while calling someone out. You would have had to have been there to understand what I'm talking about.

I don't think anyone has heard an explaination. Sure would like to hear one though.

Ed Sir - That is one awesome grill!

If you guys don't have an explanation -- and you were there -- why do you think anyone here will be able to explain? What did your coach say? Are we looking for conspiracy where it doesn't exist? Maybe the umps where paid for a limited number of innings.

Rowlett won't see FM again until....state....true?

Don't umpires and coaches have a meeting at home plate before the game begins and, among other things, discuss what they will do in the event of a tie at the end of 7?

PD - My son said they ran out of time. If that's the case, I'm with JAFO. I don't understand how you let the third place game go into extra innings and stop the championship game in a tie.

There's no conspiracy in my mind. I'm just curious.

Perhaps the 3rd place game was within the time limit.

Maybe the blues in the 3rd place game made a mistake by letting it go into extra innings, you know they do make mistake's from time to time.

Dang !!!...Learn something new everyday. I had always thought, that's when the money exchanged hands.

I don't believe it was. We might have ask Dtiger about that since I went to Bass Pro between games so I didn't notice when the third place game started. I know ours started late.

No conspiracy here PD and expect no explaination. Just entertainment on a slow Monday. I was feeling unsatisfied after Saturdays tie. A tie is like kissing your sister. Plus, there are just too many stories like this, that make you say "humm" with regards to FM. So I'm giving FM a hard time and thought they could defend themselves(yes, another jab). Thats what make fun rivalries.

Rowlett plays them again at Ameriquest at the end of the March. It will be another fun game.

She's in a traveling carnival, and we don't talk about her much. She operates the tilt-a-world.

That's funny right there!

PD you should know we are not players and don't talk to the coach.

And by the way let's tap those breaks on state. Last time I saw a District season you had to get in the playoffs first.

The third place game ran out of time in the 6th inning. Originally Jesuit was down 4 runs going into the inning but came back to tie it. The umpire asked the Jesuit coach what the rules were in case of a tie, and after checking the board our coach said there was to be one extra inning played. Then he asked (it looked like he did, not 100% sure on this) the other coach if it'd be OK. The coaches agreed and we played one more-ending in a Jesuit win. My guess is that this too may have happened-game running out of time before full 7. OR the coaches agreed to not play anymore? I really don't know. Pitching was low for Jesuit in the final inning, we pitched a kid who hadn't thrown since Soph. year... and now he has more wins than I do. (Joking statement, no one is intended to be hurt or act like I care... it might've been the overall funniest game-in terms of quirks and stuff- I've played in HS). Both teams in this case know that district is what is important... a good game with good baseball being played on both sides truly probably satisfies both teams.
