Wranglers survive wild, wild week to advance to Region V tournament
When the weekend started, the Cisco College Wranglers were on the outside looking in at the Region V Baseball Championships. Then, on Saturday, the Wranglers completed a sweep of the North Central Texas College Lions and found themselves in a threeway tie for fourth in the Northern Texas Junior College Athletic Conference standings. Still, the baseball gods didn’t shine on Cisco. The Wranglers, by virtue of tie-breaker rules in the conference, finished two points behind rival Ranger College in a power ranking poll based on how each team had done against the top squads in the conference during the regular season. On Tuesday, the tables turned – again. NTJCAC Commissioner Stan Feaster notified the conference that Ranger College had withdrawn from the regional tournament – a fact that will send Cisco to the postseason.
