Waxahachie Indians Pull Off Upest of Top-Ranked McKinney North Bulldogs

The Waxahachie High baseball team pulled of a major upset in the Texas high school 4A regional baseball playoffs yesterday. The  Indians beat the top-seeded McKinney North High Bulldogs 1-0. I say the "team" pulled it off, but only because all 9 starters were actually there. However, the Indians only needed 1 guy to win the game. Waxahachie 6'2" senior pitcher, David Martinelli, threw a no-hitter shutting down the high powered Bulldog offense. The McKinney North's team average was .354 and had a 26-4 record on the season. Then in the 3rd inning, he ripped a solo home run. Martinelli went on to retire every Bulldog batter in what was only his 3rd start of the season. He is normally used in relief, but was moved up in the rotation.  Martinelli is 4-1 with a 2.23 ERA. And he isn't so bad with the bat either. He is hitting a stellar .409 this year, hitting 5 home runs and driving in 25 RBI's.
