Achievement unlocked. I actually did a series thread and could not pat myself on the back more. Not really sure how I got it done, but given the gravity of this series I could not resist and felt that if I had not done a series thread that I’d be failing you a bit.

THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT
The Red Raiders freshman class was highly acclaimed coming into the season and through the first 12 games of the season they certainly look the part. At the plate three different freshman (Pompey, Rivers and Sanders) have combined to go 30-of-79 (.380) with three home runs, 10 doubles and 31 RBIs. TJ Pompey has done the lions share of the damage as the Coppell product is hitting .392 with two home runs and 19 RBIs. On the mound, the freshman have thrown 22.2 innings, allowing just four runs (1.62 ERA). That group includes Chandler Coe, Mac Heuer, Parker HutyraCole Kaase and Brady Trombello and has struck out 18 batters with just two walks. Pompey enters the weekend riding a 12-game hit streak.
