Big 2 games today and tomorrow(weather permitting) in district 14AAA between Bartlett and Arlington. Bartlett has some impressive wins already this season. Should be a good measuring stick for Arlington.
What a game these two great team played last night. 1 - 1 after 7 innings it took another 11 innings before "Bug" Cox of Arlington hit a walk off homerun in the bottom of the 18th inning to make the final score 4 - 3. Pitching and defense from both teams were outstanding all night. It was truly a game for the ages.
