Diablos fall to Andrews, Tulsa teams
A 750-mile trip to play Andrews?
That's what Thursday brought for the West Texas Diablos baseball team,
at the USSSA's 12 and under AAA Baseball World Series, and the results weren't
good for the Diablos, as they dropped an 8-4 decision to the Andrews Mudcats,
then lost again later in the day, 10-5 to the Tulsa Padres to drop to 4-3
in the week-long tournament.
The Diablos, who are made up of seven Odessa players along with four from
Pecos _ Isaiah Rayos, Cody Hernandez, Robert Nunez and John Paul Salcido
_ had won three straight games going into their game against Andrews, but
lost to the then-undefeated Mudcats before falling to Tulsa, the fourth-ranked
team in the tournament through play on Thursday.
The losses dropped the Diablos from 20th place to 27th
out of the 84 teams in the tournament. Andrews had been one of the only
remaining undefeated teams, until they dropped a 15-6 decision to the Murfreesboro
(Tenn.) Renegades in their final game of the day on Thursday.
Andrews is seeded 14th going into play Friday, and are fourth
among Texas teams. Ranked 12th is the Grand Prairie Texas Warriors,
who the Diablos defeated on Wednesday by a 10-1 score, with Rayos pitching.
The St. Louis Diamond Kings remained ranked atop the list of teams, and
are one of three undefeated teams left in the tournament. The Cape County
(Mo.) Bandits and the Manhattan (Kan.) Mariners are the other teams who have
won all six of their tournament games so far.
The 12 and under tournament is scheduled to continue through the championship
games on Sunday at Hutchison, Kan.
