BACK TO PROMINENCE: Collins Looking To Get Back To The Old Days
KLEIN COLLINS COACH CHRIS GRIFFIN’S SQUAD WENT .500 IN DISTRICT, FALLING JUST SHORT OF THE POSTSE ASON IN 2021.
Can the once power program get back in the conversation in the rough and tumble District 15-6A? Back in the Tiger Den are seniors Alexander Gomez and Joshua Rivas. Rivas does a little bit of everything, and Gomez plays shortstop. Junior pitchers Daelan Fears and Mason Lemons need big seasons on the mound while Ronin Turner runs down balls in the outfield.
BOMBS AWAY: Former Klein Collins' Hinojosa balling out for Astros Triple A
Former VYPE Coverboy CJ Hinojosa homered twice as the Sugar Land Skeeters prevailed for a 9-7 extra-inning win Sunday night against the Albuquerque Isotopes.
After trading runs in the 10th inning, the Skeeters scored a pair in the 11th inning on a wild pitch and RBI single from Jake Meyers. Ronel Blanco pitched a scoreless ninth to pick up his second win of the season.
Hinojosa provided a solo home run in the third inning and a two-run shot in the seventh inning, which tied the game at 6-6. Hinojosa has homered in three straight games, including four home runs over his last three games.
Hinojosa starred at Klein Collins before playing his college ball at the University of Texas, where he started for three years. He was drafted in the 11th Round of the 2015 MLB Draft by the San Francisco Giants. He was signed by the hometown Houston Astros in January.
