Southwest Came Back

Lubbock Southwest came back from the brink in the 11-12 Sectional Tournament on Tuesday.  A big three run blast by Evan Gayler in the bottom of the seventh, and we had a walk off.  That’s got to be exciting.  Wonder if his feet are touching the ground yet?

The Little League pitching rules came into play in this one.  Since the second championship game started Monday but was interrupted by rain and continued on Tuesday, that allowed Southwest’s ace pitcher to return - given the extra day’s rest.  Trailing 8-3 when the game resumed I think we can say he did his job as Southwest held Midland scoreless in the continuation on Tuesday…

Southwest moves on to the finals of the Texas West division.  Follow the bracket to see if they can advance to the Regional round.
