I don't think Argyle will have a problem hitting the fastballs. I'ma thinking Homniok relies mainly on spotting his fastball on the corners and also just trying to overpower the hitters with it. I'm sure he has other pitches he will mix in.....but in crunch time he will rely on that fastball.

I like the way Argyle did not hesitate to swing the bats freely today......instead of working the count and leaving the calls up to the homeplate ump. Sometimes it's best to go up there ready to swing at the very first strike you see....early in the count. Agressive at the plate is not a bad thing.....unless you chase bad pitches. For the most part all the Argyle hitters have an excellent eye and discipline at the plate.

The other strategy is to work the counts and make Homniok throw alot of pitches to wear him down. I'm not a real fan of this approach when you have a lineup and hitters like Argyle has. I'd rather see them attack the pitches and use their talents to put the ball in play to force the Sweeny defense to make plays. Homniok may be able to handle throwing 100 pitches with no problem anyway......he has a very strong and well developed arm.

You can pretty much guess that Sweeny will be relying on Homniok to carry the day for them tomorrow on the mound. I'm sure they will be very hesitant to pull him even if Argyle gets a good lead. Not sure who they have behind him to come in anyway......but may have a pitcher that can go a couple of innings. I don't see Sweeny pulling Homniok before 5 innings unless things go completely sideways. Otherwise they will try to win with him on the mound.

On the Argyle side of the fence......Sean Bolin has been very dependable throwing strikes and is 8-1 on the season. If he gets into trouble.....the Eagles have a number of pitchers that have the stuff to finish.....like Tate Van Poppel, for instance. Clearman is a lefty and can throw if needed.....so can Merka, Carter, Hogeboom, Gonzo, and a host of others. The Eagles just need to play smart, clean defense and swing that bat....and they will be fine.

Colleyville Heritage vs Corsicana will be starting their 5A semifinal about right now. Looks like the start time has been delayed because of a massive thunderstorm that passed by. They are in the clear now according to the radar.

About 30 min. to gametime at Disch-Falk......and today is D-Day......the 75 yr. anniversary. WWII was about freedom FROM oppression.....today not so much. There will be another battle fought today......on the field for the Class 4A Baseball State Championship. Good Luck to both teams.

The Live Feed has begun at Disch Falk.......player introductions and then the National Anthem will follow. The weather appears to be bright and sunny......a good day to crown a champion. Sweeny occupies the bench along the first base line......I think that means they will be home team and take the field first.

Argyle in their black Jerseys with white pants and a solid red cap. Sweeny is dressed in all white with blue lettering and numerals wearing a white cap with a blue bill. This will be most definitely the very last high school game for all the seniors on the field today. It's been a long and fruitful journey for the seniors on both teams.

Now the National Anthem and then there's nothing left......but the game of the year in Class 4A baseball. Time to sit back and watch these two highly competitive teams play for the title.
