Pirates Defeat Commerce 2-1
To Take 10-AAA District Lead
In one of the most exciting
games of the year, the Wylie
Pirate baseball team eeked
out a run in the bottom of the
tenth inning to take a 2-1 vic-
tory from the Commerce
Tigers and assume un-
disputed first place in the
race for the 10AAA district
championship.
Played at Pirate Field on
Tuesday, the Pirates gave tlie
Tigers an unearned run in the
first inning and had to play
catch up baseball. Tiger cat-
cher Ricky Harris singled off
Pirate ace Bryan Link with
one out. When Link attemp-
ted to pick off Harris at first,
the ball got away and rolled
down the right field line, and
Harris scampered ;■ round se-
cond and headed for third.
Tres Sansom’s throw from
right got away from third
baseman Jeremy Baffin, and
Commerce had its only run.

up with a clutch hit to tie the
score. The Pirates had ten
runners on in the first six inn-
ings, but did not score to tie
the game until Tony Clark
knocked in Troy Garcia, who
was running for Daniel
Ruyle, who had walked. Tres
Sansom had sacrificed Garcia
to second.
In the bottom of the tenth
with the game knotted at one.
the Pirates tried the squeeze
play, which had fai*d to pro-
duce a run earlier in the game.
Chad Womack led off with a
single to left. With one out
Stephen Polen and Nathan
Jones both walked to load the
bases and set the stage for
the squeeze. On the first pitch
Chad Hensley laid down a
perfect bunt and Womack
raced across with the winning
run.
Senior lefhander Bryan Link
pitched the entire ten innings
for Wylie and recorded his
ninth victory of the year.

Link scattered two other hits
and walked only one batter.

high hard one. Link struck
out nineteen Tigers. Only
once after the First inning did
a Commerce runner reach
third, and Link promptly
struck out Tiger clean-up hit-
ter Bruce Davenport for the
third out.
Chad Hensley, the Pirates'
fine defensive catcher, led
Pirate hitters with three
singles, including the game-
winning bunt. Tony Clark ad-
ded a single to his game-tying
hit for a two-hit performance.
The Pirates now stand at 7-1
for the year in district play
and 13-5-1 in all competition.

Friday against Bonham was
rained out and will be
scheduled at a later date. The
next Pirate home game is set
for Friday, May 3, at 5:U0

WSA-Soccer
As the 1991 Spring Soccer
Season draws to a close, it's
time to remember all the fun
that we have had throughout
the season. Watching the 4, 5,
and 6 year old boys running
up and down the field as fast
as their little legs could carry
them, the little girls with
their matching socks and hair
ribbons, the 8 and 10 year old
boys as they tried to master
the finer points of soccer, the
older girls as they showed
they were young ladies on or
off the playing field, and the
older boys, although with
small teams, playing hard
and fast games of soccer.
We should also remember all
the people who have donated
so much of their time to make
this soccer season possible.
All of the coaches and assis-
tant coaches, the WSA-
Soccer Board members, the
League Directors, and of
course the parents. The sup-
port that WSA-Soccer has
received from these people
makes us realize how impor-
tant activities like this are.
Of course no activity like
this is complete without its
sponsors. These sponsors
help to give our teams the
financial backing that comes
with any activity of this size.
But the great thing about
this is that WSA-Soccer will
continue to create these
memories next fall. WSA-
Soccer hopes to draw a larger
turn-out of local children to
form our teams - the more the
merrier. So when school
starts next fall and your kids
are looking for something to
fill their time (and maybe help
them to) register them for the
WSA Soccer's Fall Season
