Saturday
May 3rd -vs- Fort Gibson (Finals)
|
 |
| WIDE TURN? -- This play in the 5th inning Saturday against Fort Gibson was a huge momentum shift in the 4A Regional final. Kevin Phillips/Garrett Tole had gotten the lead runner at 3rd on the previous play and would have had a 2nd out at 3rd on this play. The base runner had been caught between 2nd & 3rd but avoided the Garrett Tole tag (above) by running around the tag. |

| Summary comments from past few days ... |
| Fort Gibson defeated Collinsville 0-4 Saturday May 3rd for the 4A Baseball Regional Championship here. -- Ted 5/3/2008 3:10pm |
| Baseball Regional (May 2nd): Hilldale eliminated Glenpool, then Collinsville eliminated Hilldale with an 8-5 win. Collinsville still needs two wins over Fort Gibson for a trip to state. A loss ends their season. Against Hilldale, Kevin Phillips went from the disapppointment of having his line drive turned into a triple play in the 4th to hitting a 3-run homer in the 6th to advance the Cardinals today. -- Ted 6pm [2nd game Friday: Cards won 10-0 game called in 5th run rule. Play tomorrow at 1 for championship. -- Mary Francis] |
| Collinsville went into 7th inning leading in their 2nd game of the baseball regional but lost 6-10 to Fort Gibson Thursday. Will play again Friday. -- Ted 9:25pm Thursday 5/1/2008 |
| CHS baseball team beat Glenpool 11-3 in first Regional game here Thursday. -- Ted 3:45pm May 1st. |
