Published 12:33 pm Monday, April 23, 2018

Both the Bridge City Cardinals and Little Cypress-Mauriceville Bears are rolling along still in the latest Class 4A Texas High School Baseball state poll.

The Cardinals (20-7-1, 8-1), in first-place with a game left in District 22-4A, are ranked No. 10 while the Bears (25-5, 7-2), in second-place in 22-4A, are ranked No. 22.

Bridge City can clinch the outright 22-4A title with a win at home Tuesday against third-place Orangefield (17-5-1, 6-3). A Bridge City loss and a LC-M win over Hamshire-Fannett (8-15, 1-8) at home Tuesday would force a co-district title.

Jasper (23-5, 6-1) is ranked No. 17.

Nederland (19-6-1, 11-1) is ranked No. 18 in Class 5A. Kirbyville (19-8) is No. 14 in 3A while Evadale (18-4) is No. 13 and Colmesneil (14-4) No. 20 in Class 2A.
