should be a really good one
Just received email from foxsportssouthwest.com
They will be broadcasting live from Disch-Falk.
Probably best place to watch.
The Woodlands takes gm 1 over Rockwall 12-5.
We took a 3-0 lead in bot 5 but threw up everywhere in
the 6th giving up all 12 runs in that one inning - walks
and couple miscues.
Looking to play two tomorrow.
Personal positive note - rockson hit a big fly *over* the
batters eye in straight away CF off their big lhp (lefty
on lefty). That's a long way with a bbcor. CF 400ft
then batters eye tall fence.
One guy said it was still going up at 380 Ha!

I heard his youth coach taught him everything he knows.
Just kidding but I will say you could see the swing when he was 10 playing with 11 and 12 year olds. Beautiful swing. Nice hit Cole.
A few followups to the series:
First - Go Martin!!!
A key play in game 1 just before TW went on their 12-run rampage.
Why is this not an infield fly:

Our 1B and 2B misplayed the ball. But runners on 1B and 2B
and this looks clearly like IF IMO. Interested in others opinions.
Here's rockson's big hit courtesy of Fox Sports Southwest:

UT facilities folks told us no one hit the ball here in over 3 yrs.
There's been some ugly post-series activity. Read here if you haven't

There was nasty language exchanged across the board post-game. Wish our players hadn't contributed to that. Being a diligent follower on twitter I saw the messages early and made sure rockson stayed out of it.
For me, the racist language is way beyond a joke and typical teenager
pokes at each other. No I'm not democrat as some on DMN would suggest.
I just think comments like "bowdown", "...you're used to buses aren't you",
"...wash my clothes you're a nigger, like the old days", "...when did you get rights",
and "...you're a nigger #SEASONOVER" cross the line.
(apologies for offensive language. It's there's not mine. when you see
it right there in front of you it has a diff effect than when it's edited out.
And just that most of us do edit it out as the DMN did says something
about how vulgar most of us consider it)
Young men should know this is not acceptable. And how stupid are you to put
in on twitter publicly. Not surprised I see kids act like twitter is private messaging
regularly. Wouldn't a kid that has african american friends think twice about
using this language?
What's the proper punishment? I don't think Messer Mangerr should be in the
dugout this week myself. Kronshage - not a baseball
player. Just a bystander that interjected racist attack. Not sure what to
do with him. What do you think?

My take on this will be short and simple. There is no need for this type of language directed at an individual for any reason. From what I read not sure if the kid(punk) Kronshage is a baseball player for the Woodlands. I did read that he signed to play football at Colorado. How do you think his fellow African Americans on the football team are going to react when he steps foot on Campus this Fall? He has some splaining to do Lucy!!!
