State Bound

Corpus Christi is home to two of the best high school baseball teams, not just in the state, but in the country. Both teams are ranked in the top 5 in national polls. So it was kind of a big deal this weekend when the two teams went head to head battling for a spot in the state baseball tournament. The series went down to the third game, with the No. 1 ranked Moody Trojans taking the regional title. I was kind of thrown back into the night shift a couple of weeks ago, lucky for me. I've really enjoyed getting to shoot these baseball playoff games. Tomorrow, I will ride their wave of success to Austin for the opening day of the state tournament.



The size of the crowd was insane. Whataburger Field sold out for the first two games. The first game brought in more than 9,000 people. It was the second largest crowd the field has ever seen. The largest crowd was when the Astros came down to play an exhibition game against their minor-league affiliates earlier this year.
