Bucs notch big win over archrival Clear Creek at Wildcat Field in League City, win 3-2

April 19, 2013

Wildcat Field

League City, TX-  Brazoswood entered this game on a one-game district winning streak and wanted to continue to solidify its playoff position coming into this game. The Bucs had fallen to startup Clear Falls the last time they came to town and wanted to avoid being caught off guard especially by this old rival. The old rival was nothing other than the Clear Creek Wildcats, a bunch that has given the Bucs fits over the years, and a series which has always involved playoff implications and two schools with proud, long-standing winning baseball traditions and four 5A championships between them. Anthony Dahl came out strong pitching solid through most of the game. The Bucs scored in the third, and fifth innings due to timely hitting and Creek errors. Jacob Reed relieved Dahl and pitched solid 1 and 1/2 innings before Joey Pulido was brought in to nail the coffin shut on the game. Pulido was the force behind the first epic 2-1 nine inning victory over Creek in game one at Wilson Field. Creek threatened in the bottom of the seventh advancing speedster Satchel McElroy all the way to third and almost loading up the bases with one out. Methodically, Pulido struck out the remaining threat and got a rare 2-0 season sweep of one of its archrivals.  The Bucs are locked into a tie for the district lead with Clear Springs, but Creek and Falls are also locked into playoff spots. Also- on April 19:  Clear Falls lost to Lake 6-5, which helped the Bucs in the standings. Springs beat Dickinson 1-0 to keep its share of the district lead. As it was when Pearland and Alvin were in the district, the final game will decide it all for 24-5A. In Fort Bend: Travis, Dulles, Kempner are locked for first and Elkins and Clements are fighting for fourth place. Brazoswood will meet one of these teams in Bi-district, and one of these teams will provide an exciting challenge for the Bucs.
