ROUND ROCK — Cypress Ranch’s football and volleyball teams started the “Year of the Mustangs.”The baseball team finished it in grand fashion. Capping a year in which the Mustangs saw programs win their first-ever postseason games and others make deep playoff runs, Cy Ranch baseball took the baton and outdid them all. The Mustangs worked the same small-ball magic that won their Class 6A state semifinal, took advantage of…

Fading both puts gamers in the—well, Chris’s long-lost brother Sterling can…

WASHINGTON — Rep. Cedric Richmond overcame shoulder surgery and tossed a seven-inning complete game, leading the Democrats to 5-2 victory over the Republicans in the 54th Annual Congressional Baseball Game. Heading into Thursday night’s contest at Nationals Park, the political foes had an even record against each other, dating back nearly 100 years. The victory Thursday gives the Democrats the overall edge, and perhaps more importantly, seven consecutive wins. “Whether I…

This game had everything. Tight pitching. Some slick fielding. Occasional hitting. Rowdy and partisan fans. And even a surprise visit by President Obama that seemed to help squelch a Republican rally. By the end of the annual Congressional Baseball Game for charity Thursday night at Nationals Park in Washington, the outcome still proved to be an all-too familiar one. Six straight defeats for Republicans turned to seven straight losses—a drought…

FORT WORTH, Texas — There is one season TCU senior shortstop Keaton Jones has tried his best to forget. It was 2013, when the Horned Frogs didn’t even make the NCAA tournament in their Big 12 Conference debut. “That was a bad season,” Jones said. “At that point, we were still just very young and inexperienced.” Now with as many as six seniors on…

Forget the peanuts and Cracker Jack. President Barack Obama apparently held out hope that complimentary White House beer would help a House vote on a major trade bill go down as smoothly as an ice cold one. Not known to particularly enjoy hobnobbing with anyone, let alone members of Congress, Obama nonetheless made a last-minute call Thursday night and headed to Nationals Park to spend some time schmoozing with lawmakers…

Baseball’s draft concluded on Wednesday with the now traditional “nepotism phase” in which teams select players related to some VIPs within the organization. The Phillies chose Andrew Amaro, the nephew of general manager Ruben Amaro, in the 35th round, after selecting him in 2011. The Angels picked Jonah DiPoto, son of general manager Jerry DiPoto, in the 38th round. And the White Sox chose Joseph Reinsdorf, grandson of Chairman Jerry…

Minnesota Twins outfielder Torii Hunter erupted in anger Wednesday, scattering his gear across the baseball field after being ejected. Hunter, batting in the eighth inning of Minnesota’s 7-2 loss to the Kansas City Royals, became incensed after he was called out on strikes by umpire Mark Ripperger. Hunter thought Luke Hochevar’s pitch was outside, and later replays appeared to support Hunter’s assessment. As soon as the strikeout was recorded, Hunter…

In the seven years since Oregon brought back baseball in 2009, 29 Ducks have heard their name called in the MLB Draft.  Several more are expected to be added to that list this week.  The Ducks have multiple current players who are in line to be selected and once again have a stable of incoming freshmen who are likely to be called in the 40-round draft. The three days of…

It has been an, um, eventful week for TCU baseball. Eight days ago, the Horned Frogs produced a rally for the ages in college baseball by coming back from a seven-run deficit in the eighth inning to beat North Carolina State. Early Tuesday morning against Texas A&M, they won a 16-inning game that coach Jim Schlossnagle called the best he’s ever been a part of. Those victories — both in…

Kyle Wilcox, a hard-throwing righthander from Newtown, was the lone Connecticut player taken in Day 2 of MLB draft on Tuesday as rounds 3-10 were completed. The Mariners used their sixth-round pick, No. 185 overall, to select him. A player still hoping to get a call today as the draft resumes at noon is UConn’s Carson Cross, the American Athletic Conference pitcher of the year with a 10-2 record and…

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Those sitting in the stands of McKethan Stadium on April 7 watching as JJ Schwarz hit his fourth home run of the game, trotting around the bases might have thought this was the norm. Soundless and still, Schwarz’s teammates didn’t stir. They gave him the silent treatment after one of the most prolific performances Florida baseball has ever seen, and likely might ever…
