Should be some really good games in 253a against 263a in the 3 games series. Lagrange will be tough if that is a one game playoff. Needville is a good baseball town and will not go easy but Supak is a very special pitcher and will be tough to beat.
Is El Campo playing at a new field this year or are they still over at the little league park?

Not very good baseball.
El Campo is a bad defensive team.

I assume EC was saving their ace for tonight (Friday)? Unless they are like us, no ace. If we can get it to the 6th, 7th, we have a solid closer in Blakeney. Noticed he was warming up, till we plated those 5 runs in 7th. Agree, EC fundamentals were lacking last night on routine plays. We too, had a few issues fielding. I think both teams will shore up the "D", and play better ball tonight in Yoakum.

El Campo's best pitcher is pitching tonight. I don't know if I would call him an ace.
He a soph and still small. But he locates very well and will be very good by the time he is a senior.
But, EC doesn't deserve to win when they make 8 errors.

Yeah, we have 4 or five #3 type SP'ers ourselves. If we play sound fundamental ball (make the routine plays) and get the bunts down to advance runners, pitch ahead in counts, we can hang around in most games.

I was around in the 60's. There was some good ball being played in EC at all levels. Eight errors mighty haven't been the monthly total in those days. Wonder what happened.

EC seems to be all about football at the high school level these days. Baseball just isn't that important. Baseball is just something you do the few minutes that you aren't working on some sort of football activity. The result is the sloppy, inconsistent play that you saw in these last few games.

Been playing at the same spot since the 50s. Of course it's been renovated a couple of times since then. Not sure when the last took place. That was the Birds last game there since they will be playing at one off the best complexes in the state next year.
Have a look. Click on one of the pictures for the slide show : http://www.ecfieldofdreams.org/master-plan.html

Very nice sb. Kid's will take some pride fielding there compared to what we seen Thursday over there. Hopefully they'll upgrade their groundskeepers too? I can't blame the fielding woes on the kid's or coaching as some have. Infield was in sad condition. Not sure when the last time it was watered. Good luck to the Ricebirds next season.

I'll miss going to games there. Been going off and on since about 1958. The old place has seen 3 state champions one LL WS finalist one Big LL WS champion and a LL softball WS runner up. EC was a baseball town back in the day.

Will El Campo's new facility be owned by the high school? or city run?
