TENNIS NEWS & UPDATES
Calallen baseball program has a history of winning
districts and state titles . They have placed numerous
players in the college ranks and have placed several to the
Major League.
Tonight the Mustangs sent to the mound senior pitcher
Emilo Compean to try and get the first district win in a
very tough district. Also Coach Colin has senior pitcher
Cesar Mata ready to come in if Compean got in trouble.
Which he did use in the 6th inning to try to calm down the
explosive Calallen bats.

Which he did use in the 6th inning to try to calm down the

Before the storm I got a chance to speak with Coach Colin about the game with Calallen. While he liked the
fact he was facing them in the first game out in district. The out come was not what he expected. But for five
strong innings his vision of Mustang ball was perfect.
There is no tougher baseball team to face than Corpus Christie area Calallen High School. Year in and year
out Calallen placed their baseball team in the playoffs.

strong innings his vision of Mustang ball was perfect.
There is no tougher baseball team to face than Corpus Christie area Calallen High School. Year in and year
out Calallen placed their baseball team in the playoffs.
Coach Colin went on to say "I want to play little ball and get one run an inning as I told the team get a run
in each inning and you will win many games". The first five inning Compean held Calallen to one unearned
run. The Mustangs did just as Coach Colin wanted. In the second inning the lead off hitter JJ Bustamante
got on an error. The next batter Coach Colin had Jose Ledesma but down the 3rd base line and the pitcher
could not do anything but throw to first.
Now the Mustangs had a runner at second with one out. Perfect set up to how Coach Colin wants his team
to work each game. The only issue was that Calallen left starter Josh Zustnzilly came through with a strike
out on the next batter Benito Renterria and a simiple back to the pitcher to first on the next batter Luis Reyna.
The frame work was there the Mustang players were getting to understand how coach Colin wanted to play
the game. With a freshman catcher Edwardo Zepeda starting and a sophomore second basemen in JJ
Lascano you have a very young Mustang team learning to play together and learning to play to win.
