Tiger season comes to an end

The 2009 Tigers baseball season came to an end last night when they lost to the Midway Panthers 8-3. Midway won the best of 3 bi-district playoff 2 games to 0 and has advanced to play Hallsville.

I am not sure what the goal was when the season started, and getting swept in the first round of the playoffs is not the way you want to end your season, but, I would guess everyone is proud of the teams accomplishment's this year. Coach Rush did an excellent job. The seniors were able to go out on a playoff team, and the underclassmen have something to build on next year. I am ready for 2010. I love daytime baseball.

Congratulations to the Panthers and good luck the rest of the way.

Forney was swept by Waxahachie in its playoff series.

I will have one more baseball picture next Friday for Skywatch.

The Relay for Life is tonight, rain or shine, if the weather holds off, I will be down there taking pictures.

Sunday morning the Run for the Wall makes its annual stop in Terrell. Weather permitting I will be there to take photos also.

Terrell to face Midway in baseball playoffs

The Terrell Tigers will take on the Midway Panthers in the UIL High School baseball playoffs that begin next week in Waco. Waco defeated Waxahachie 6-0 today to win their division. The first game will be in Waco on Thursday, May 14th. The second and, if needed, third game will be in Terrell at Ben Gill Field, Saturday May 16th starting at noon. The third game will start 30 minutes after the second game ends.

Last year I watched Forney and Midway battle in the playoffs in Forney. The pictures above came from that game. Midway won that series.

I would love to be able to go to Waco to watch the Tigers but I don't think my budget will allow it.

Forney is also in the playoffs. They open against Waxahachie Thursday night in Forney. I may be able to make it to that game.

Checking the calendar at the bottom of the page, next weekend is shaping up to be a busy one. Saturday starts off with Tiger baseball. Relay for Life starts Saturday night and Sunday morning Run for the Wall 2009 makes a fuel stop in Terrell.

Midway advances

Waco Midway beat Forney yesterday to advance in the Class 4A State baseball playoffs. Here is another picture from Friday nights game in Forney. The spot I was at on the third base line was between the wall and the pitchers warm up area.


The above pic kind of reminds me of the old type baseball cards.

The bottom pic lets you see just how close we were to the warmup area. Looks like he was going to throw it to me.

Midway at the State Fair of Texas.

The State Fair is held in Dallas, Texas beginning at the end of September through October each year. This is looking down one side of the midway. In the back ground is the Texas Star Ferris wheel and the Texas Skyway.
