“Second SWEEP in a Row”… The Dragons  pound the Panthers in the first game(4/16) of the series.  Good pitching efforts and timely hitting was a recipe for a “run ruled game”.  Dragons win 14-1.  In the second game(4/20) the dragon continued to hit the ball and hold Pflugerville to 3 runs.  Dragons win 10-3.  The final game of the series(4/21) was a repeat of the first game as the Dragon hit well, pitch well and again “run ruled” the Panthers.  Dragons win 14-3.  JVA is finishing well and now has a district record of 10-7.  Final game against Westwood @ Dragon Field.

Go Rock Hard Ball!!!!!

Last week was a crucial series after an off week where the Dragon’s faced off with the defending District Champs Stony Point Tigers. The series started off Tuesday at Dell Diamond where the Dragons battled the Tigers putting a 4 spot on them in the first and never looked back winning 10-6. The next game against the Tigers was a different story on Friday night with a strong wind blowing in, the game started a little slow with the Dragons leading most of the game 2-1 until the top of the 7th where the Tigers found a way to score 2 runs and take the lead 3-2. With one out and runners at first and second, Watts hits a shot that sails over center field clearing the bases and the Dragon’s win 5-3. WOW, what a game!!!

With the Dragon’s up two games on the series, we needed one more from the Tiger’s to complete the sweep. The third game again started a little slow but the Dragon’s found a way to score 3 runs in the third and held that lead all the way until the bottom of the seventh where the Tigers were able to tie it up at three and had the bases loaded with no outs and were looking to steal one away from the Dragon’s. Again, with the bases loaded and NO OUTS, the next hitter hits a sharp ground ball to Hutson who quickly throws home getting the go ahead runner out. The next hitter smokes a line drive to left center and Midkiff comes out of nowhere grabs the ball out of the air and on a dead run makes a perfect throw to home gunning out the tag up runner for the third out. WOW!!!!!! The eighth inning saw both teams with no runs and we go to the ninth where Watts hits a Triple to right and they intentionally walk Turner. Hutson comes up big with a hit scoring Watts and Turner moves to third and later scores on a pass ball putting the Dragon’s up by two and it would stay that way as Turner, who pitched a gem(complete game 9 innings) came in the bottom of the ninth and shut down the Tigers. Dragon’s win and sweep the Tigers 5-3. After this series the Dragon’s who have now clinched a playoff berth will face Pflugerville in a three game series. GO ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“SWEEP”…yes a clean “sweep” of the Stony Point Tigers.  The Dragons start off the first game of the series (4/09) with a tough pitching duel. The Tigers strike first and go up 1-0 after 2 innings.  Round Rock pitching shuts them out for the rest of the game and the Dragon hitters get one in the 3rd and 2 in the 4th to take a 3-1 win.  In the second game (4/13) the Dragons traveled to Stony Point.  The game was more of a hitters game with 26 hits total by both teams.  Dragons score big in the 3rd (4 runs) and big in the 5th (3 runs) to seal the win.  Dragons win 7-5!!!.  The final game(4/14), the Dragons put 2 runs up on the board in the 1st inning and they answered each of the Tiger threats in the 4th and 6th inning.  The Dragons “BRING OUT THE BROOM” and Sweep!!!…the Tigers!  4-3.

Get out your brooms!!!!!!! The Dragon Varsity has just finished a great week of baseball. With the Dragons in second place in district 16-5A behind Georgetown which they just finished giving them the series 2-1, the Dragons needed to bounce back and take control of their own destiny. The Lions from Leander came to town trying to steal some victories and push the Dragons further down the district standings. Well, that didn’t happen!!!!!!!! The Dragon’s came out fighting Thursday night at home and hit the Lions hard with a 10-4 win. On Friday night at Lion Field the Dragons were in a close battle until the 5th when the Dragon’s blew up and finished the Lions off with a 9-2 win. Needing to sweep the Lions at Dragon Diamond the boys were once again finding it hard to score in the early innings but never gave up and kept fighting till the end and finally were able to pull ahead and not look back with a 6-2 win completing the sweep of the Lions and with some help from Stony Point the Dragon’s found themselves in FIRST place of 16-5A after the weekend. Next up is our off week which includes a road trip to Lake Travis on Thursday.

GO ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Dragon Varsity only had one game this week due to the rain on Friday but boy
was that one game INCREDIBLE. After giving up 3 runs in the top of the first to
the Warriors, the Dragons started chipping away and scored 2 of their own.
Holding the Warriors to that same 3 count they scored in the first, the Dragons
scored 2 more in the bottom of the second. Each team scored 1 each in the third
and then both teams went scoreless until the bottom of the sixth when the
Dragons added a run to make it a two run game. Even though the Dragons didn’t
stumble, the Warriors found some way of scoring 3 runs in the top of the 7th and
took the lead 7-6. The Dragon’s step up to the plate having been down before and
felt no pressure. The Dragon’s scored the tying run early in the bottom of the
7th and then with one out, finished the Warriors with a 3 run walk off homer.

Dragons will have their series against McNeil this week – Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 5:00 p.m.  Check the game details for sites.  Come out and support your JV White Dragons!!!  GO ROCK!!!

The Varsity stepped it up a notch this week as we knew they would. This team is starting to come together and it wont be long before they have their sights on the post season. I know it’s a little early but I have faith in them. The team chemistry is just starting and we have high hopes for this team. Our district started last Tuesday with a visit to Westwood where the Dragon’s took on a talented Warrior’s team but by the end of the game the Dragon’s were the ones with their heads held high with a huge win over the Warriors. Next up was the Langerhans Invitational Tournament. The Dragon’s took on opponents from across the state and came out of the tournament with a 5 and 1 record with key wins against Midland Christian,Lewisville, Fossill Ridge, Anderson, and Hendrickson. The only loss was with a still sleepy Dragon team against San Angelo Central. Now the true test begins as we start district with upcoming games this week against Westwood on Wednesday and McNeil on Friday. See you at the field!!!!!!!GO ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!
