In what could only be written in a Hollywood script, the District 7 3rd Place finisher waltzed through the UIL 4A Baseball Playoffs, recording only a single loss and captured the ultimate goal, a State Title in a win over Victoria East 4-0.
In a game that never seemed in question after an early Bearcat lead, Aledo cruised through the talented Victoria East lineup with precision. Aledo pitcher, Taco Anderson, was lights out, allowing only 3 hits, striking out 4 and walking only 1 in a complete game shutout that earned him MVP honors.
Bearcat hitters tallied 8 hits and 6 walks, hitting .275 on the game. Aledo capitalized on 3 Victoria East errors, resulting in all 4 runs being of the unearned variety.
Congratulations to the Victoria East Titans on a fantastic season. The Titans are coached by one fantastic guy who will continue to have his team constantly at the highest level.
And finally, Congratulations to the Aledo coaching staff, players, administrators, and fans on a fantastic season, culminating in another State Championship in the 2013-2014 season. Aledo is the first school in any classification to win both a football State Championship and a baseball State Championship within the same school year.
