22-6A All-District Selections

The whole of Alvin is proud of each and every Alvin Yellowjacket. The boys played with more precision and went further than anyone predicted–except them.

With a 15-1 district record, the Jackets went into the playoffs the undisputed champs of District 22-6A, in part by shutting out Pearland in their second match. With only six seniors graduating this year, Alvin brings a lot of experience back in 2016.

Best of luck to those who are moving on to the next stage in their lives, to those who are returning, to the coaches, the parents, administrators, and trainers. You will always be Yellowjackets, and we will always love you. #GoJackets #JustWin

The Alvin Yellowjackets got the win over the Pasadena Eagles in six innings last night in Pasadena. Gavin Alvarez was a single short of hitting for the cycle, but ironically, it was his three-RBI triple that resulted in a 13-3 run-rule of the Eagles to end the game before he had the opportunity for another at bat.

Corben Henry got the win with five innings of work, allowing only three hits and three walks. Cody Howell pitched to four batters in final-inning relief, striking out two and allowing no hits or runs. Every Yellowjacket batter reached in the contest, and none recorded strikeouts.

Notable offense includes Alvarez: 3-4, HR, triple, double, 7 RBI, 2 runs; Gunner Olszewski: 2-4 (including a bunt single), RBI, 2 runs; Henry: 2-3, sac bunt, 2 runs; Sean Farrell: 2-4, RBI, 2 runs; Beau Olsovsky: double; Logan Haley: double, 2 RBI, run.

Notable defense includes three putouts by Gavin Alvarez (RF); a 6-4-3 double play turned by Rico Luna (SS), Nathan Collins (2B), and Logan Haley (1B); and an outfield assist from centerfield to home from Sean Farrell (CF) to Beau Olsovsky (C).

The Yellowjackets meet the South Houston Trojans Tuesday, March 31 at 7:00 p.m. at Nolan Ryan Field.

Alvin wins a close one at home, beating the Dobie Longhorns 3-2 in a battle of the 4-1 teams for second place in the district.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Corben Henry went 3-3 at the plate, and Joe Dalmolin got the win with ten strikeouts, two earned runs, five hits, and one walk over seven innings.

In the top of the second, the Dobie Longhorns took an early lead of 2-0.

The Yellowjackets cut the lead to one run in the second inning. Caleb Jeter started the inning with a single through the left side of the infield. Gunner Olszewski advanced Jeter to second with a sacrifice  bunt. Jeter stole third and after a walk by Zach Wright. Rico Luna scored Jeter with a bunt single.

The Yellowjackets tied the game 2-2 in a wild third inning. Henry started the inning with a single. Henry then stole second when Dobie’s catcher hit Sean Farrell in the head with a pickoff attempt of Henry. Farrell then advanced Henry to third with a sacrifice bunt and safely reached first on an errant throw. Gavin Alvarez scored Henry on a fielder’s choice to tie the game.

The game remained tied until the seventh inning when the Jackets loaded the bases with Luna reaching on an error to SS,  Nathan Collins knocking a single to center, and Olszewski drawing a walk. The game ended with Henry’s walk-off single that scored Luna.

The Yellowjackets play the Pasadena Eagles Friday at Pasadena at 7:00 p.m.

Alvin Yellowjacket Baseball met their district rival Manvel Mavericks on Thursday and won in a decided victory. Manvel took the early lead in the first inning, besting Alvin by one run. Alvin captured the lead in the third and remained on top.

The Jackets combined for 14 runs on 11 hits and 13 RBIs in 28 at-bats. The team also turned two double plays including a 6-6-3 from shortstop Rico Luna to first baseman Zack Wright. Alvin is now 4-1 in district and 10-6 overall.

The Yellowjackets next game is 7:00 p.m. Tuesday against Dobie at Nolan Ryan Field.

The Yellowjackets moved to 9 – 5 with an in-district 3 – 0 record after carding a  4 – 1 win over Pasadena Memorial today.

Joe Damolin improved his record to 4 – 0 with his fourth complete game victory. Damolin shut down the Mavericks by allowing only two hits and one run and issuing one walk.

Gavin Alvarez led Alvin in offense and defense with two lead-off doubles, a run, and three putouts. His putout in the sixth inning included a diving catch followed by an outfield assist that doubled off the runner at second and placed the Mavs back on the field after their third batter.

The Jackets take on Pearland in their next district match up at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday the 17th in Alvin.
