Baseball season is underway. In fact, if you don’t want to wait for Major League Baseball to start or you don’t want to drive all the way to Arlington to watch the Rangers, you can always catch some quality baseball in Tyler. Granted, it’s not the same quality but you can save yourself the drive, parking, gas and price of a ticket by watching the Tyler Junior College Apaches at Mike Carter Field.
The Apaches are already 17 games into the season as they hold an overall record of 14-3. They’re 6-2 at home, 6-0 on the road and 2-1 from neutral sites.
There have been several players in the big leagues who got their starts at TJC so you never know who might be the next big thing.
There are several big players to keep your eye on at TJC. In just 40 at bats, Derek VOgl has17 hits and a batting average of .425. Blaise Warrick leads the team in home runs with six and RBIs with 19. Richard Tordsen’s 22 hits and 14 runs are the most of any current Apache and can be a nightmare for opposing pitchers.
The Apaches are slated to play a double header Saturday at Weatherford College. They will return home two days later to play host to Texas College at 7 p.m.
