A lesson has been learned in this new chapter of Texas League history: Don't make a Sod Poodle mad.
After watching the RockHounds steal their thunder with a win in Amarillo's franchise home debut Monday, the Sod Poodles busted out to a 7-0 lead after two innings and went on to an 8-2 win Tuesday night at HODGETOWN.
Reed added three RBI, going 2-for-5 with a stolen base as the Sod Poodles raced to an 8-1 advantage after three innings and never looked back.
All eight runs came against 'Hounds starter
The RockHounds did have one opportunity to alter the course of the game, loading the bases with no outs in the top of the third (and trailing at the time, 7-0), but the club scored just one run (on a double play) and never threatened the rest of the way.
The 'Hounds are now 2-3 (with Sunday's suspended game pending) on their season-opening road trip, with Wednesday's "rubber game" of the three-game set in Amarillo remaining.
Notables
The RockHounds committed their first two errors Tuesday night after playing errorless ball for the first 36 innings of the season. A little perspective - - the first error came when
Monday's game was the first Texas League game in Amarillo since the Gold Sox last played in the 1982 TL season.
