The Tomball Cougars Baseball Team came storming back from being one game down to defeat Ridge Point in the regional quarterfinals this past weekend.
The Cougars dropped Game 1 to Ridge Point on Thursday, but came back Friday nihgt as Robert Dugger pitched a 2-hit shutout in a 6-0 victory. He also collected a big hit, driving in two runs. Other players contributing greatly were Ishmael Edwards, Anthony Lucas, Robby Gillen, Dillon Menville and Casey Smith.
In the deciding Game 3 on Saturday, Tomball beat Ridge Point 13-0. Eric Dunbar pitched a two hit shutout and Nick Banks led off the game with a towering home run over the left field fence. Banks hit two home runs and a double in the game. Ishmael Edwards added a couple of hits including a triple. Nick Falcone and Dillon Menville both had multiple hit games. Just about everybody in the line up picked up at least one hit.
The Cougars next take on a very good Montgomery baseball team, which went to the state tournament last season and are returning almost everybody. The series opens at Tomball High School on Thursday night at 7 p.m., then moves to Montgomery on Friday night at 7 p.m. If a Game 3 is needed, it will be at College Park High School on Saturday night at 7 p.m.
The team is hoping for a large turnout from the school to cheer them on, Coach Doug Rush said.
