Forney, TX - The Forney White Sox opened up the U12 2008 Forney Fall Season versus the Forney Royals on a beautiful September day in Forney!  The fields never looked better and the crowds were back to watch youth baseball at its best! 

The Royals jumped ahead of our White Sox in the top of the first taking advantage of many walks and Sox miscues in the field.  However, the our White Sox would answer with a run of their own in the bottom of the first.  Zachary would lead off the inning with a base-on-balls.  Sam would single followed b a walk to Danny... however, the Sox ralley would be cut short.

The Royals would continue their scoring in the top of the second with no answer from our Sox in the bottom half of the inning.  Jon would take to the mound for his first appearance of his career and do a fine job!  After all that was said and done, the game ended in the Royals favor.  Game balls would be given to Jacob for his fine job as catcher behind the plate and Jon for making a nice play at second base and for his first ever appearance as pitcher.

The Sox would face the Roughriders in the second game of the double header and though they still displayed signs of rust, they faired a tab bit better than that of the first game.

Pitching and hitting looked better, but base-running and fielding was still shaky!  Noah would get a nice hit and Sam, Dylan, Jordan would all draw walks, there was not much more to the offence... the bats appeared to weigh 100 lbs!!!!!!  Jon did line a rip up the middle only to be nabbed by the pitcher who in turn would turn a triple-play when the White Sox would be caught in a hit-and-run!

After a long day of baseball, the game would end in the favor of the Roughriders.  The White Sox would present a game ball to Jordan for making some fine plays both in right field and at second base. 

SPENCER CHOSEN / DANNY ALTERNATE!

The White Sox tried to could not pick up Fall players Nolan (who was picked up quickly by the Yankees) and Nathaniel (who was also quickly picked up by the Devil Rays).

FUNDAMENTAL PLAY WINS IN THEN END!

Forney, TX - Our White Sox faced the Forney Angels for the second time this Fall season but a different team took the field this game... this team had strong pitching, great defense, timely hitting ... the fundamentals of the game that helped the Sox take the Angels 8-5.

Noah started on the mound for the White Sox and held the Angels scoreless in the top of the first inning. The inning was highlighted with and excellent defensive play of a grounder to 1st Baseman Danny going to his right and a perfect toss to pitcher Noah who was covering first for the put out.

The Sox jumped ahead with two runs in the bottom half of the first inning. Nolan led off the inning with a perfect bunt single. Jacob jacked a rope to the left-center fence for a triple bringing home Nolan. Danny would bring him home with a rip single up the middle for the second run of the inning.

Weston took to the mound in the top of the second inning and had the fast ball working for him. Though the Angels would get a couple of runs across, shortstop Jacob would help stop their threat with a nice defensive play of a hard hit grounder to short. The Sox would answer in their half of the second inning with two of their own. Khaliya, Brandon and Weston would walk the bases full and Danny would line a single to left-center bringing home two runs. The White Sox led 4-2 after two innings of play.

Danny would pitch in the third inning and though he had some trouble with his control at the start of the inning, he would finish strong by fanning two batters and being helped by Khaliya at second base who would make a nice play on a pop-up to 2nd base. However, the Angels would grab the lead 5-4 going into the bottom of the third inning.

The Sox took the lead for good in the bottom of the third inning with 4 big runs! Jonathan would lead off the inning with a base-on-balls. Khaliya would then bring the crowd to their feet with her mammoth drive to the left field fence for a triple! Then Brandon would bring home Khaliya when he connected with two strikes against him to hit a grounder to second... though a play like this does not make the headlines... this was fundamental baseball at its best... two strikes on the batter, the batter makes contact and hits the ball behind the runner thus advancing the runner... this IS baseball at its best... fundamental play... the kind of play that wins ball games! Nolan would follow with a line single to left-center. Weston would walk and Jacob would reach on a single. Danny and Noah would walk and before you knew it, four runs would have crossed the plate. That is where the game would end with the White Sox having an 8-5 lead over the Angels.

Game Balls would be awarded to Noah for his excellent 14 pitch first inning; Jacob for his big hits and defence at shortstop; Danny for his bit bat and defense at first base; and Khaliya for her defence at 2nd base and her incredible triple!

SOX ATTAIN MUCH NEEDED LEFTY FOR THE LINE-UP!

Forney, TX - The Forney White Sox picked up free-agent Brandon and are close to signing him with the big club. Though some issues are being worked out with Brandon's agent, David, he has begun to practice with the club and will be a key left-handed hitter in the line-up! Let's all welcome Brandon (not to be confused with our regular Brandon, also a lefty, who is taking the Fall Season off to play Football) to the team!

SOX PLAY TWO – OUTWALK TRIBE & BOW TO ANGELS

Forney, TX – The Forney White Sox met their rivals the Forney Indians for the first game of the twin bill. Jacob started on the mound for the pale hose and the Indians were held scoreless in the top of the first inning. The Sox put one run on the board in the bottom of the first but would strand the bases full. Weston led things off with a line double to left-center. Dylan would draw a base-on-balls and Danny would rip an RBI single up the middle. Though both Noah and Spencer would walk to fill up the bases, they would not advance and the inning would end with the Sox leading 1-0.

Danny took to the hill in the top of the second and struck out the three Indian batters that he faced. The Sox would score another run in the bottom of the second but would once again leave the inning with 3 runners on base. Guest player CJ would walk followed by a single by Weston and walks to both Dylan and Jacob. Danny would then be robbed of a sure hit when his line drive was nabbed out of the air by Indians pitcher Cooper. The score was now 2-0, still in the Sox favor.

Noah came to the mound in the top of the third inning and had the speed going… however, he could not find the plate… thus plenty of walks ensued that led to the Indians putting across 6 runs and taking the lead 6-2. The plate proved to be hard for the Indians pitcher to find as well in the bottom half of the inning thus more base-on-ball followed and added a clutch hit by Weston (his third in the game), the White Sox would bring home 6 runs of their own and regained the lead 8-6. The game would be called on time giving the victory to the White Sox. The Game Ball would be awarded to Danny for his fantastic pitching and his two rope hits (though robbed of a hit with one!)

The White Sox would face the Angels immediately following their game with the Indians for the night cap of the two games. This one, unfortunately, would not end in the White Sox’s favor. The Sox were held scoreless in the top half of the first inning and the Angels would bring home 6 runs of their own. Weston started on the mound for our White Sox and had good form and speed… but that plate must have been dancing around for the walks were plenty.

The Sox would not quit and responded with 3 runs in the top of the 2^nd inning. Noah led off the inning with a walk followed by walks to Jonathan, Spencer, Khaliya and Weston. Dylan would drive home a run with a ground out to short. The Angels still led 6-3.

Jacob returned to the mound in the bottom of the second but the Angels would score two more runs. They may have scored more but Jonathan as shortstop would make a key play of a grounder to short, looked back the runner at second and still got the runner at first.

The Sox were coming back in the top of the third when the game would be called on time. Noah would lead off the inning with a walk followed by a line single by Jonathan to right field. Spencer would walk to load up the bases but that would be it and the Angels would top the Sox 8-3.

Jonathan would be granted the Game Ball for his play at shortstop, relief pitching and his base hit to right.

WHITE SOX FACE YOUNG RED SOX IN FALL SEASON OPENER!

Forney, TX - The Forney White Sox returned to the diamond on Saturday to face a young Red Sox team... The White Sox batted in the top half of the first inning brought 6 runs across. Weston highlighted the inning with a rip single to left field. The young Red Sox pitcher looked good in his first game ever to pitch... good form and speed... however, being his first game, had trouble finding the plate that turned into many base-on-balls, thus many runs... but, that is why we are playing this Fall... to prepare for the Spring 2008 Season!

Noah started on the mound for the White Sox after striking out the first batter, walked a couple of batters himself before fanning a second batter. The Red Sox would draw three more walks to bring a couple of runners home before the inning would end by an unassisted ground out to Danny at First Base.

The White Sox would bring 6 more runs across in the top of the second inning with a bunch of walks, one hit batesman and another hit by Weston. Danny was robbed of a hit by the Red Sox second-baseman via a nice catch of a liner. Weston would take to the mound in the bottom of the second inning and strike out the first 3 batters that he faced on 13 pitches. Though the White Sox would score three more in the top of the third, the game would be called on "Time".

Game Ball would be awarded to Weston for his hitting and pitching.
