This bi-district series could come down to which team plays better small ball at the right time
Brayden Gilley eyes the strike zone in a district game against the Mavs last month. Gilley will need his best game to date when he takes the hill during the three-game bi-district series with Atascocita.A nice district winning streak and hovering in the neighborhood of around 20 wins for the season. That sounds like Deer Park's varsity baseball team, but it isn't.
"Some guys come out of that first round with almost a bye. It's not that way with these guys," said Rupp, referring to an Eagles team that is 21-10-2 for the season and won 10 straight district contests, before Summer Creek cooled them off a little bit last week with 4-1 and 5-4 defeats. Kendall George, Kaden McCoy, Nicholas Baker, Zachary Thomas and Jonathan Kent are Atascocita's returning players. That contingent is led by George, an outfielder, who garnered First Team All-District honors last spring.
"Our guys who can hit, we need them to come through. We'll be the same way. We'll try to get guys to third with less than two and get'em in," Rupp said.
