The days are long and hot, the teams are running low on pitching, and everyone is beginning to feel the effects of their earlier games. The players keep their spirits up despite those factors and continue to try their best. Thursday proved to be a day of upsets and disappointment for most of the Texas teams, as none are in the running for the National Championship.
