Rockdale over Thorndale in Baseball

[Dogman_1969]

On Rockdale's open date they hosted Thorndale Tuesday night in a battle of Milam County neighbors. The Tigers spoted the Bulldogs 5-0 before pulling out to a 15-6 win over the dogs.

The Tigers will host Liberty Hill Friday night to close out the first round of district play.

The Tigers are 14-5 on the year and 3-0 in district play.

And Cameron Lost to LH last night in a great game...9-8 in 8 innings.

Dogman are you going to be at the game on friday?

Is Thorndale as good this year as they were last year? (Or the year they won state, whichever that was. I know it was recently; I think it was last year.)

[Daddy D 11]

It was 2 years ago, they got to the state tourny last year but didnt win it all. And no, they are really really down.

No, they lost a lot of talent from the '06 and '07 class graduating. I remember playing little league against Thorndale and getting the snot kicked out of us everytime except once when we actually beat them. :)

Rockdale is really hitting the ball well right now.

That is what they said about Tdale in hoops this year and they won it all again. I bet they get it going. I did see where they lost to Granger in district! Tigers are doing well. Congrats!!!

Everyone knew thorndale was stacked in basketball this past year, heck they had the best player in 1a classification.

Best player graduated last year, but they did do well after losing 12 seniors no doubt. That guard is a player for sure. Tough to repeat, and even tougher after losing that many. Great job by Leiberman!!! The Rock used to smash T-dale in baseball way back in the day. Good to see them getting that baseball program going again. What is up with Softball, graduation?? Rebuilding?? Made the playoffs quite a few years since 94.

Hey 11 I will be watching the district track meet unless he is able to throw and is not entered into any other events. If that is the case then I will bring him to the hill to play the JV game at 5.

Most districts generally schedule the baseball games on Saturday when the district track meet is on a Friday. I don't know why ours didn't.
