Summer Ball Revs up, Winds down

5 things to watch in the Generals playoff series (Victoria Advocate)
The top-seeded Victoria Generals open their first-round playoff series Tuesday against their regional rival, the Texas Tomcats, on Tuesday. While on paper, it's the TCL's best versus it's lowest seed, it could be a mismatch for the Generals. Here's what to watch for in the series:
. . .
This year, center fielder Mark Hudson batted a team best .340 and had 20 RBIs, while second baseman Conner Mach batted .295 and led the team with 30 RBIs, making for a great combination at the heart of the Victoria lineup. Both have home run power.
Jacks finish well, start playoffs on a roll (Kilgore News Herald)
The East Texas Pump Jacks have made the Texas Collegiate League’s playoffs, now, in all three seasons of existence. And after clinching the second-half championship of the league with a 7-4 win at home over McKinney on Monday night, the Pump Jacks are setting their sights on the league’s biggest crown.
. . .
Carvutto struck hard again in the bottom of the fourth. Teammate Jesse Santo, the University of Missouri junior from New Jersey, singled down the right field line, and then Texas A&M sophomore Brandon Wood laid down a perfect bunt, safely reaching first and allowing Santo to get into scoring position.
