TC wins Game 2 behind Watson

By: Johnny Green - Texarkana Gazette - Published: 04/09/2009

Texarkana College’s catcher comes up late for the tag against a Navarro College runner Wednesday at George Dobson Field.
When it comes to runs batted in, Thomas Watson will gladly trade quality for quantity.

For the second time in three crucial games the Texarkana College third baseman produced a bases-loaded hit in the final inning that under normal circumstances would have meant multiple RBIs.

Instead, he was credited with singles on both occasions, the latest capping a 9-8 Bulldogs come-from-behind win over Navarro College in the second game of a Region XIV doubleheader at George Dobson Field.

Eastern Conference leader Navarro (25-11, 12-4) won the opener, 5-3, behind the complete-game pitching of Teddy Nowell.

It looked like it might be a sweep when the visiting Bulldogs took an 8-7 lead heading into the bottom of the ninth inning with closer Logan Chitwood on the mound.

But Brian Ellis drew a leadoff walk and raced to third base when Joaquin Hinojosa’s hard shot went through the first baseman’s legs for an error, the fourth in the game for Navarro. A walk to David Allday loaded the bases, and Jordy Snikeras’ RBI single to right tied the game.

One out later, Watson smashed a 1-2 pitch over the left fielder’s head, driving home Hinojosa with the game winner.

“I looked terrible on the swing before the hit,” said Watson, a sophomore from Paris. “I just took the same approach I did against Panola, and it worked out.”

The win prevented a 4-game sweep by Navarro, and kept the Bulldogs within striking distance of first place.

“Obviously, we would have liked to won that first game, but credit these kids for sticking around when it looked like that second game was going to get away from us,” said TC coach Will Bolt. “It keeps us in the race. I think if Navarro had got that game, we would be playing for second place. Now we still have a chance to get the one seed.”

TC led early, and the game was tied at 2-2 after four innings before Navarro chased starter Tanner Bailey with a 4-run fifth, highlighted by 2-run home runs by Jason Shepard and Clayton Farbat.

It was 7-3 heading into the bottom of the sixth when Texarkana (26-11, 11-6) tied the game with four runs. Watson, who was 4 for 5 with a triple, had a 2-run single, Zach Fowler plated a run with a sacrifice fly and Austin Atwell singled home the fourth.

Bolt brought closer Hinojosa (5-2) in with one out in the seventh, and he yielded a run in the eighth on Cameron Dullnig’s RBI single.

Watson and Jake Rogers, the 8-9 hitters in the lineup, combined on a 7-or-8 performance with five RBIs. Rogers, the former Pleasant Grove standout who walked on at TC, was 3 for 3 with his second home run and an RBI double.

“I’m not at all surprised about Jake because he’s a great teammate, and he’s waited patiently for his opportunity,” Bolt said. “He got it in this game, and he made the most of it. He’s been swinging a hot bat, and he’s going to continue to get more playing time.”

Atwell and Hinojosa also had two hits and Snikeris drove in two runs. Joey Fuda had three hits for Navarro, and Caleb Marx also homered.

In the opener, TC scored three runs in the third inning for a 3-2 lead, but managed only three hits the rest of the way off the left-handed Nowell, who finished with a 5-hitter. None of the runs he surrendered were earned.

Atwell had an RBI single in the third inning that started with Lance Marvel’s base hit. Ellis, who later doubled, had a sacrifice fly in the inning. Snikeris also doubled for the Bulldogs.

Left-hander Zach Fowler threw 75 pitches in three innings, leaving with the lead. But three relievers couldn’t hold it, Shane Cole taking the loss.

Texarkana College’s sweep of last-place Lon Morris College last Wednesday likely didn’t raise many eyebrows among its Region XIV rivals. But Saturday’s twin wins over East Conference leader Panola College no doubt opened some eyes.

The Bulldogs’ 5-4, 8-6 twin wins at George Dobson Field—the first game in extra innings—pulled Texarkana within a half-game of the Ponies in the conference race, and magnified the advantage TC has in playing all but two of its remaining games at home, where it has lost only once all season.

And Saturday’s sweep over the nationally 10th-ranked Ponies showed the Bulldogs have to be considered a candidate for the league title.

“The thing about Panola is they make you beat them,” said Bulldogs coach Will Bolt. “They make all the plays defensively, and they don’t give you anything. They made us beat them and we did.”

And in a way that should boost the team’s confidence for coming game. Two clutch RBI hits by Thomas Watson sparked the come-from-behind win in the opener, and four sixth-inning runs in the nightcap enabled the Bulldogs to withstand a 3-run rally by Panola in the seventh.

The second game is usually nine innings, but by conference rule, is changed to seven if the opener is extra innings.



Game 1

Blanked on three hits through five innings by Panola ace Aaron Wilkerson (7-0, 1.91 ERA), Texarkana (26-10, 10-5) cut the visitors’ 4-0 lead in half when Joaquin Hinojosa followed a leadoff walk to Austin Atwell with his seventh home run to left-center.

David Allday and Jordy Snikeris added singles, ending Wilkerson’s day. But reliever Travis Reagan uncorked a wild pitch, setting up Watson’s base hit to left, tying the game.

After TC closer Hinojoso wiggled out of a bases-loaded, no-out situation in the top of the eighth with a 4-6-3 double play, the Bulldogs followed suit when right-hander Tim Emmott walked two batters and hit another in the bottom of the inning. Panola went to its fourth pitcher, Cory Thomas, but Watson drilled his first pitch just inside the third-base bag to drive in Allday with the game-winner.

“I always look for a fastball away on the first pitch,” said Watson, a sophomore. “That way I can adjust to an inside pitch, and on a breaking ball I’m already sitting back because I’m looking for the outside fastball. The first time I hit a fastball, and the second time a breaking ball.”

Panola (28-9, 11-5) built its early lead with the long ball, Matt Juengel belting a first-inning solo shot and former Hooks High School standout Brandon Choate a 2-run blast to left in the third. It was Choate’s second homer of the season.

Johnathan Baker’s double off reliever Shane Cole made it 4-0 in the fourth. But Cole, who relieved starter Justin Fowler with a runner on second, allowed no more hits, struck out five and walked none until giving way to Hinojosa (4-2) in the seventh.

Watson had three hits and Hinojosa two for TC. Baker and Jared Myrick led Panola with two each.



Game 2

Brian Ellis’ 3-run homer, his second, in the first inning gave TC a lead it would never relinquish, but the Ponies pulled within 4-3 in the sixth before the Bulldogs sent nine batters to the plate, scoring four runs. Allday’s 2-run single capped the rally.

Colton Reavis relieved starter John Stilson with one out in the top of the sixth and worked out of a jam, but Bolt inserted Hinojosa in the game in the seventh, and Panola reached him for three runs on two hits and a walk, Diego Morales doubling home two runs.

“Colton did a good job in the sixth, but I thought Joaquin would come in and shut them down,” Bolt said in explaining his move. “But he walked the leadoff batter and it got him in trouble. John (Stilson) didn’t have his best stuff, but he kept us in the game until we could score more runs.”

Atwell and Snikeris had three hits each, Ellis homered and singled, Trey Buck doubled and singled and Jake Rogers had his first collegiate home run, a solo shot in the second inning.

Morales was 2 for 2, both doubles, for the Ponies.

It was an Allday affair for TC

Three home runs, 15 RBIs ignite Texarkana’s sweep

By: Johnny Green - Texarkana Gazette -

Published: 04/02/2009

Texarkana College’s David Allday celebrates with teammates at home plate after hitting a grand slam in the opening inning Wednesday afternoon in the first game of a doubleheader against Lon Morris at George Dobson Field. The Bulldogs were dominant in both games.

Considering the date, David Allday might have had to pinch himself to determine if his performance Wednesday at George Dobson Field was an April fool joke.

It wasn’t, much to the chagrin of Lon Morris College, the victim of Allday’s three-home run, 15-runs-batted-in assault in Texarkana College’s 25-7, 17-1 doubleheader sweep.

“I really don’t know what was going on. It was just one of those days, I guess,” said Allday, who went 5 for 6 with 10 RBIs in Game 1. “I was seeing the ball good, and I was sitting back waiting on slow pitching. My confidence is up because I’m seeing the ball good. And it’s good to be back home.”

That sentiment was shared by Bulldogs coach Will Bolt, who saw his team score 42 runs and collect 38 hits in the team’s first home games since Feb. 22.

“It helps just getting into a routine,” Bolt said. “We actually got to practice outside here yesterday, and we actually haven’t had an outdoors practice in three weeks. And we had a really good team practice yesterday with a lot of energy despite the fact we had been on the road Sunday and Monday. The familiarity helps, and this is a good hitter’s park.”

Allday had a grand slam in TC’s 8-run first inning in the opener. He also had a solo blast in the second and followed it up with two singles and a 2-run triple. In his final at-bat, he hit a screamer through the first baseman’s legs, reaching on the error.

Allday’s bat wasn’t the only one smoking in the opener. John Stilson was 4 for 5 with a double and triple, Joaquin Hinojosa 3 for 3 with a home run and Brian Ellis 3 for 5 with a double and triple. Austin Atwell had three hits and scored four runs, as did Hinojosa. One of Jordy Snikeris’ two hits was a 2-run homer, and Gip Hendrix also had two hits.

Recipient of the hitting barrage was left-hander Zach Fowler (6-2), who took a 12-1 lead into the fourth inning before surrendering six runs and seven hits. Brittan Diamond, Ty Moore and Colton Reavis finished the game with a scoreless inning apiece.

“The fourth was going to be Zach’s last regardless,” Bolt said. “I was going to get him out of there after it. I wanted to see him compete and pitch through rather than go get somebody else. He’s been there for us all year, and he’ll continue to be.”

Lon Morris (3-25, 0-12) made a game out of it for two innings in the nightcap before the Bulldogs (24-11, 8-5) sent 12 batters to the plate in the third, scoring seven runs on just four hits. Bearkats starter Jake Flowers hit three consecutive batters with the bases loaded, forcing in runs.

TC put the game away with a 6-run fifth, capped by Allday’s 3-run shot that soared over the fence in right. The former Texas High standout increased his home run total to seven and his RBI number to 37.

Right-hander Tanner Bailey (6-1) allowed five hits, struck out eight and walked none over five innings. Shane Cole gave up a run on three hits in the sixth, and Diamond closed out with another scoreless inning in the run-rule contest.

“Tanner pitched really well,” Bolt said. “He could have finished, but we wanted to get the bullpen guys on the mound to get used to pitching at home again. We just had some guys that needed to get some work in.”

Brian Ellis had three hits, including a solo homer over the fence in center, to lead an 11-hit attack. Allday had a home run and double in three at-bats, and Trey Buck tripled and singled. Michael Long had a pinch-hit, 2-run double.

The Bulldogs start the second round of Region XIV East Conference play Saturday against front-running Panola College at Dobson Field. The only conference road trip remaining for TC will be Lon Morris at Jacksonville on the final date of the season.

Texarkana College splits doubleheader

Published: 03/30/2009 Texarkana Gazette

LUFKIN, Texas—Texarkana College’s baseball team split a doubleheader against Angelina College Sunday in Region XIV action.

The Bulldogs gave up a pair of runs in the sixth and seventh inning to drop the first game, 4-3, but responded with two home runs, including a grand slam, and claimed a run-rule victory in the second game, 17-4.

TC scored two runs in the first and added another run in the third to hold a 3-0 advantage until the Roadrunners scored twice in the sixth.

Joaquin Hinojosa and Gip Hendrix each went 2 for 3 with a double, and Jordy Snikeris added an RBI double.

In the nightcap, Hinojosa belted a grand slam in the third inning to extend the Bulldog advantage to 8-0 after two innings. Austin Atwell’s solo homer sparked a 4-run fourth inning as Texarkana cruised to the mercy-rule win.

Atwell added a pair of doubles and a single to finish a perfect 4 for 4 at the dish. Lance Marvel added a pair of doubles and five RBI, and Snikeris and Brian Ellis each had two hits as TC pounded out 17 hits.

PARIS, Texas—Texarkana College sophomore Zach Fowler sailed into the sixth inning with a 1-0 lead only to see Paris score four runs—two unearned—and beat the Bulldogs in Wednesday’s opener at Hub Hollis Field, 4-1.

Texarkana (20-9, 5-4) was leading the nightcap 8-2 going to the fifth inning when the game was stopped because of lightning and rain. The game will be completed at the end of the regular-season.

“Zach pitched well enough to win, but their pitcher matched him,” Texarkana coach Will Bolt said. “We just didn’t do enough offensively.”

Fowler scattered five hits, walked two and struck out seven in six innings. Trey Buck scored TC’s only run in the first after reaching on a single and moving all the way to third on two wild pitches. He scored on Austin Atwell’s grounder.

The Bulldogs got off to a good start in the second game when Texas High alumnus David Allday smashed a 3-run homer. Allday also had a run-scoring single later in the game. Joaquin Hinososa drove in two runs with a double and two singles, while Brian Ellis added a pair of singles.

Fowler, Bailey spur TC sweep

Published: 03/20/2009 Texarkana Gazette

MOUNT PLEASANT, Texas—Zach Fowler and Tanner Bailey came up with outstanding pitching performances Wednesday when Texarkana College needed them most.

Losers of three of their first Region XIV East Conference starts, the Bulldogs needed a sweep of the doubleheader at Northeast Texas Community College, and got just that.

Fowler went six innings in 7-inning opener, and the Bulldogs scored all their runs in the first inning of the 5-2 victory. Bailey completed eight innings in the 9-inning nightcap, won by TC, 4-1.

Fowler (5-1) scattered five hits, struck out five and walked two in picking up his second straight conference win. Colton Reavis retired all three batters he faced in the seventh.

The Bulldogs gave Fowler all the support he needed in the first inning. Trey Buck reached on an error against starter and loser Jake Atwell, and a single by Austin Atwell put runners at the corners.

Joaquin Hinojosa’s sacrifice fly plated Buck, and Gip Hendrix followed with a double. Atwell, who had stolen second base, stopped at third when it appeared Hendrix’s drive would be caught. David Allday singled through the middle to drive in Atwell, but Hendrix was thrown out at the plate.

After Lance Marvell walked, Ian Gilley doubled to left, driving in two runs, and he scored on a single by Brian Ellis.

Atwell and Ellis were the only Bulldogs with two hits.

In the second game, Bailey (5-1) gave up just two hits, struck out six and walked three, the only run coming on a home run by Cody Causey in the third inning. Hinojosa earned a save in the ninth by striking out the side on 11 pitches.

Buck had a pair of doubles in four at-bats and had two of TC’s seven stolen bases in the game. Jordy Snikeris had two hits and drove in two runs, Gilley stroked a solo homer, his second of the season, and Allday had a double.

“We saw their top two guys, both were left-handed, and the second (Henry Garcia) was really good,” said TC coach Will Bolt. “We really needed these two wins, and if we can get a split or sweep in Bossier City Saturday, we’ll be in good shape because most of our April games will be at home.”

The Bulldogs (18-8, 3-3) play their fourth conference twin bill on the road Saturday, starting at 1 p.m.
