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.
