Be_Advised, if Leal has to come out via pitch count who will Robstown go with? I know they're deep in pitching but without Velasquez it makes me think about just how deep they are with 2 games back to back.

They may go with Flores. But that is just a guess. This injury is really messing things up.

I agree, I was hoping that Velasquez would get the chance to pitch today. Flores doesn't have bad stuff at all, just seems to have some control problems at times.

Maybe Robstown can pull a move like Bellville last year and make a huge comeback in the 7th on the same field, LOL. Only this time, be the team doing the comeback rather than being cameback on. That'd be crazy.

On a side note, if Giddings is able to finish off the 'Pickers, they're my pick to win it all. Too much pitching and hitting.

[Bull Butter]

This ends the coaching career of Robstown's Steve Castro, who announced his retirement earlier in the season.:(

Good luck in your retirement, Coach!

[1st and goal]

Way to go Buffs! Great job pitching, hitting and defense.
Pitch by Pitch.

Robstown, you will be the team to watch next year. I hope your coach enjoys retirement. I'm sorry that Velasquez got hurt but your backup kept you in the game until the 5th inning. Much respect for you all and your fans.
