The stars have aligned, and south texas high baseball fans have gotten their wish. Two of the top teams in the state, and the nation, Corpus Christi Moody and CC Calallen will face off for the Region IV title and a trip to Round Rock. This will be a series of epic proportions. I know I sound biased, being a class of 96 Moody grad and all, but I really do have to give the edge to Moody in this series. When you account for competitiveness of their respective districts and no district schedules, they both are pretty equal. The edge goes to Moody because they have a deeper stable of battle-tested pitchers. Moody's no.1 and no.2 are 13-1 and 14-0 respectively with each boasting ERAs of below 1.00. Moody's No. 2 pitcher, Andrew Cantu, got the win over Calallen earlier this season with an 11 strikeout performance. Although Calallen has got some spectacular pitchers of their own, most of their season has come on the arm of staff ace Jordan John. Of course all the talking must be done on the field. Much luck to my Trojans!
