Wimberley previews its upcoming UIL state title game against Longview Spring Hill
WIMBERLEY, Texas (KXAN) — Tuesday morning, Wimberley baseball took the field to prepare for its state championship game in program history.
After beating Bridge City 7-6 on a “hustle play,” in Game 2 of the Class 4A Division II semifinals to advance to the title game, the Texans are less than 72 hours from stepping on the field at Dell Diamond against Longview Spring Hill. The game is set for 9 a.m., June 6. Spring Hill swept Brock 7-6 and 2-0 to advance.
“It was do or die,” Wimberley infielder Bryson Anderson said of the final play. “I knew if anything was going to happen, if there was going to be an error or anything that did happen like that, I was going to have to score.”
It wasn’t an easy journey with first-year head coach Jeremy Locke, but the program “always thought baseball was something that could really take the next step,” Locke said. “I didn’t come in here and change baseball for them or anything like that. I just asked them to work hard and do the little things.”
