Vaquero Hunters the Alpine Cowboys

For the 2nd season in a row the Alpine Cowboys have ended the season of the Las Cruces Vaqueros. In 2010 the two teams tied in the regular season and Alpine won the best of 3 playoff series 2 games to 1 to capture the final Continental Baseball League Championship. In 2011 Las Cruces and Alpine fought for the final playoff spot and Alpine ultimately won the spot ending Las Cruces season. Ryan Stevens was the manager both times and it gives the Vaqueros incentive to focus on all games with Alpine in 2012 and beyond. This is assuming the two rivals wind up in the same division in the new expanded Pecos League. Ryan Stevens wants to rivalry to continue that is for sure.

Alpine sweeps Carlsbad in Carlsbad

Alpine sweeps Carlsbad in Carlsbad New Mexico. The Pecos League played its first neutral site series in league history in Carlsbad New Mexico. The event served its purpose but could not have been under worse scheduling conditions. The teams played a Sunday Father"s Day doubleheader that began at 4:05 with game time tempuature at a cool 106 degrees. The cross winds were blowing at around 30 mph. The infield grass was so high players couldn"t tell what color shoes they were wearing. Attendence wasn"t the best at the three game series but it at least introduced the city of Carlsbad to the Pecos League. Many fans and people in the community took notice and this should be the stepping stone for the getting a team in Carlsbad in the 2012 season. The team would have to occupy the ballpark complex built on Lea Street. "We were very happy with the support from Mayor, Newspaper and Regional Businesses"

Carlsbad we have a victory! Bats wi

Carlsbad we have a victory! Bats win 3-1 at Alpine on Friday Night

There was a quiet explosion of celebration tonight in Alpine as the Carlsbad Bats finally won a game. After a 24 game skid that had several close games, the Bats finally kept one together and finished it. John Masklee pitched 7 innings for the win. Jeff Forgerson drove in two runs and Bryant Asnicar finally got his chance to be used as a closer. Things are going to be tighter from here on out from the Bats. The Bats are sending a message to the rest of the league to be taken seriously or playoff position could be in jeopardy. Manager/Catcher Ryan Powell said "Finally we get this off our back, we have all played before and won before, this league is tougher than people realize" Powell has quickly turned things around for the Bats, the Bats almost won his first game as manager. Carlsbad is gearing up for its only home series of the year, in the Caveman Corral in Carlsbad New Mexico on Sunday/Monday.

Baseball lands in Del Rio's Roosevelt Park

Jun 13 2011 12:00AM

Pro Baseball landed in Del Rio on J

Pro Baseball landed in Del Rio on June 13th as the Alpine Cowboys beat the Houston Apollos 7-4 in front of a capacity crowd estimated at 731 at Roosevelt Park.. The game was tied 3-3 in the 6th inning when Alpine broke the game open with an Austin Newall double, Nathan Skeen single and the big blow was Mike Marion home run. Mike"s homer easily cleared the 320 foot fence in center field. This was the deadest air these players have seen despite the short fences the ball did not travel at 800 foot elevation like the thin air of New Mexico. Eric Williams Jr. won the dancing competition after the game, he turned a complete flip and did the helicopter, Alpine had no answers for this... Brian Fowler served as the coach of the Houston Apollos which was a team of 2 Houston Apollos, 11 Roswell Invaders and 5 Carlsbad Bats. Each team threw one pitcher per inning and the game moved at a great pace. Eddie Larkan organized the game and set a great stage for the residents of Del Rio of what the Pecos League could be like in 2012... Stadium Issues and Political Issues stille exist but the future looks bright in Del Rio.

The signature "06" gates of Kokernot Field herald a third season of family-friendly, now Alpine Cowboys action, in community-oriented independent professional baseball. Opening Day is set for Wednesday, May 11th at 7:05 PM; the first contest of a 4-game opening series against the Carlsbad Bats. Founding teams in the new Pecos League of Professional Baseball League include our Cowboys and their opponent Bats, arch-rival Las Cruces Vaqueros, Roswell Invaders, Ruidoso Osos and White Sands Pupfish.

Gone is the defunct Continental League. Yes, times moved along, but the character and charm of Herb Kokernot, Jr.s beloved ball diamond hasnt. Its a great place to enjoy the game of baseball; which holds more timeless memories than a 160 gig hard drive.

What a difference a year makes! A new league and dedicated local ownership brings enthusiasm as well as pure and simple love of the game back to Kokernot. The Alpine Cowboys Baseball Association; operating as a 501(c) (3) "not-for-profit", is run committed to doing things right. This IS a community effort; whose purpose is more than fielding a pro club. A dedicated board of volunteers aims to keep the tradition of baseball and softball alive in Alpine-Big Bend.

Cheers echoed in the community with the return of pro ball that glorious Sunday in May, 2009. They didnt stop until the former Big Bend Cowboys won the Continental League Ferguson Jenkins championship to close a dramatic 3 game series against the Las Cruces Vaqueros. Last years baseball Cowboys played their competitive hearts out and it showed on the field.

Kokernot gates have already opened for spring training. The start of a new ball season is the promise spring time renewal with hope of championship glory in every locker. Hope springs eternal; but every team starts the new season with a 0-0 record.

Helping Hope along is the return of Coach Ryan Stevens, last years Assistant Coach and Interim Manager. Coach Stevens was at the helm for the championship series. Several from last years squad return, eager for a shot at a second championship.

Welcome back OF fan favorite Darryl Stanfield, Eric Garcia and Justin Lucero. His impossible, but true, catch in the outfield was one of the highlights of the championship series. IF Cody Collins, Javier Arrieta, Cody Jones and James Kono; former Continental League MVP, C Kyle Wells and P Mike Castrignano, Scott Schimek, Stephen Szkotak, Greg Denton and Reid Alfieri round-up the veterans.

Approximately 8 Cowboys moved to a higher level of independent ball documenting the quality of talent showcasing their skill in independent league baseball. A number of new faces vie for a spot on the 25 man roster. Included among them is Sul Ross grad, 1B Bill Tom Milburn.

A new group of sluggers, David Valesente, Mike Marion and Anderson Gardner should highlight the Cowboys infield and add runs to the scoreboard. Pitching prospects include flame thrower Brian Hobbs. Also look for good things to come from rookie prospects Nathan Skeen, Austin Newell and Taylor Getzke.

They and others make for intense competition battling for the final spots on the roster. Among them will be names shared with our children and grand-children, adding lore to that of our recent greats; such as Eric Williams, Cory ONeil, Nick Nacho Ochoa and Andrew Riddick. When training camp breaks, were but 60+ well-played games away from putting a lasso around the new leagues championship. Do you remember the almost 50 years when that wasnt the way things were? But now, the grand game of professional baseball has returned at a family-friendly price for a chair-back out of the Texas sun or a bleacher seat in the Texas sun. New concessionaires for food and the Saddle Club for beer promise to enhance our community atmosphere with quality unavailable elsewhere. There isnt a bad seat in the house. Fans are a short walkway from on top of the action great seats. A Cowboys season ticket guarantees a choice among several prime locations. Ive a particular favorite, high under the covered grandstand along the third baseline. Purchase some tickets and go on-line for a piece of Alpine-Big Bend baseball tradition. The team has a wonderful package of plans for businesses and the community to promote the team and sponsor a group night. Theyre looking for Host Families, too. Contact Alpine Cowboys at (432) 386-3402 or kristin@ellysonabstract.com. Watching a game at about the lowest level in minor league baseball has been a wonderful experience. I hope it is just as memorable for the enthusiastic young men on the diamond as it is for those of us in the stands. Were on the edge of our seats; enjoying ourselves and cheering on our Boys of Summer. Theyre on the field playing this game by the edge of their cleats, motivated by the love of something which calls them. Isnt that how Big Bend called us? It is easy to appreciate why each of us is all the way out here. See you at the games.
