Texas-size ending not in cards for the Bucs in Big D

Jesuit High School Dallas, TX- Brazoswood and Manvel met for the first time ever in the Area Championship round. An early May torrent/ flash flood wiped out the home field advantage and best of three series for the Bucs against the Mavericks of Manvel thus the ultimate neutral site was chosen for both teams- Dallas! That's right, the same Dallas home to Cowboys, Rangers, Stars, (basketball) Mavericks, and Six Flags over Texas.

Brazoswood chipped away late into the game but could not overcome the early hole it got itself into. Manvel went up 5-0 early in the second inning. Ace- Joey Pulido fought hard but just couldn't get into the groove. Andrew Laughner replaced Pulido in the second inning and battled until he was removed in the top of the sixth. Bwood scored in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings, but gave up two big runs in the top of the sixth to Manvel.
