Hoover echoed the same sentiment, “It was tense but I made sure to make every play, because I did not want mess up his perfect game.” Morales had to be strong as Adam Polansky matched him, pitch-for-pitch, through the first five innings. He allowed one unearned run and two hits before Altamonte Springs broke open the game with five runs. His pitching line was not indicative of how well he pitched, and he took a tough loss. The sixth inning was when everything changed, as the Boom sent 10 batters to the plate, and scored five runs, giving them a 7-0 lead. Matt Piatt notched two hits and RBIs in the inning, including his leadoff home run over the right center field wall. It was his first on the season.

Wednesday, March 1, was the 3rd game of the Chino Hills Varsity Baseball season. In this game, versus West Covina, Jacob Hobson took the mound in search of increasing Chino Hills’ record to 2-1.

All three of Hobson’s strikeouts were on curve balls and had West Covina’s hitters out in front all game.

The last meeting between the Pilots and Ducks was an exciting game for the Ducks.

Cooney struck out, after him Burrows did the same. I thought, Do not put Casey at the bat, or else it will be the end for us, I can feel it. So Flynn went, struck the ball and as Flynn always does, he runs to single, the only base he has ever gotten himself to. Then Jimmy Blake went and hit. He practically tore the cover off of the ball. Then before you knew it, Flynn was safe at third and Jimmy Blake at second. That was actually pretty impressive on Jimmy’s part, since that was his first ball of the season he hit, and it's been a

The Rangers looked to have this thing locked up right from the get go, but Colby Lewis would always found a way to make things interesting. The Rangers put up a lethal six spot in the first inning, enough for most to think game over. But to the Astros credit, and lack of execution by Colby, that wasn't the case last night. You hear it time and time again, when you hang a crooked number on the scoreboard it is imperative that the pitcher goes out there and crushes the opposing teams spirits with a zero spot the next half inning. On Monday night, Colby Lewis did the
The Texas Rangers (2-3) 2015 campaign comes to a stunning close, as the Toronto Blue Jays (3-2) win one of the craziest baseball games you will ever see. This game had just about everything you could possibly imagine, with the game being played under protest by the Blue Jays, trash being thrown on the field, benches clearing, and that’s just the start. Aaron Sanchez (1-0 3.46 ERA) got the win for the Blue Jays, and Cole Hamels (0-1 2.70 ERA) was the hard luck and undeserving loser for the Rangers.
