Cy Falls: Houston’s best chance to get to state. @cyfallshs

Originally appeared on Vype.com

That’s a wrap. The 2018 hoop season is a virtual wrap as we are on the eve of the playoffs.

The regulars jam up the Top 5 with Cy Falls, Dekaney, Sam Houston, Clear Lake and Bush leading the way most of the season.

So who are the other teams who have legit chances are reaching state? Yates for sure in Class 4A. Dekaney, Klein Forest, Klein Oak, The Woodlands and College Park will battle in Class 6A Region II, while Region III will be a blood bath. Class 5A is a big of a toss-up with Shadow Creek and Elkins coming out of District 23-5A and Humble in 21-5A.

It’s going to be fun, but let’s see how all the district titles shake out this week.

Oswald Peraza hit a two-run single in the ninth inning to help the Los Angeles Angels snap a three-game losing skid by beating the Houston Astros 4-1 on Saturday night.

Peraza entered the game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and hit a bases-loaded fly ball to deep right field that eluded the outstretched glove of Cam Smith. It was the fourth straight hit off Astros closer Bryan Abreu (3-4), who had not allowed a run in his previous 12 appearances.

The Angels third run of the ninth inning scored when Mike Trout walked with the bases loaded.

Kyle Hendricks allowed one run while scattering seven hits over six innings. He held the Astros to 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position, the one hit coming on Jesús Sánchez’s third-inning infield single that scored Jeremy Peña.

Reid Detmers worked around a leadoff walk to keep the Astros scoreless in the seventh, and José Fermin (3-2) retired the side in order in the eighth before Kenley Jansen worked a scoreless ninth to earn his 24th save.

Houston’s Spencer Arrighetti struck out a season-high eight batters over 6 1/3 innings. The only hit he allowed was Zach Neto’s third-inning solo home run.

Yordan Alvarez had two hits for the Astros, who remained three games ahead of Seattle for first place in the AL West.
