Alvin ace Cooper Williams too much for Dawson hitters in Yellowjackets' win
Alvin’s Cooper Williams is greeted by teammates as he heads to the dugout after a third out against Dawson Tuesday, April 25, 2023 at Alvin High School.ALVIN — Whether it was Cooper Williams’ electrifying fastball, knee-buckling curve or quick tempo, the Dawson baseball team didn’t have an answer for Alvin’s ace in an important District 23-6A matchup Tuesday night at Nolan Ryan Field.
Williams was all but untouchable in a three-hit, 16-strikeout complete game as Alvin escaped with a 1-0 victory, which clinched a playoff berth for the Yellowjackets.After striking out just one batter in the first inning, the 6-foot-4 Williams fanned the side in the second, third, fourth and fifth innings. The hard-throwing lefthander, who is committed to Texas A&M, whiffed 14 of the first 18 batters he faced in pitching 5 ⅓ innings of no-hit ball.
“An unbelievable effort — I haven’t been around a performance like that,” Alvin coach Kelly Kerlin said. “Cooper hasn’t thrown the last two weeks because of our scheduling. I wanted to make sure he was rested and not fading going into the playoffs.Alvin scored in the first inning after Jayden Rodriguez reached on an error, and Williams then helped his cause by singling to right. A throwing error into center field with Boston Lee at the plate scored the game’s only run.
“I felt good just going right at them,” Williams said. “My mentality was to pitch them the same way until they proved me otherwise.“I love to get my tempo up,” he said. “It messes with the hitters because they’re not ready.Dawson pitchers Hayden Laughlin and Mason Walls weren’t as dominating as Williams, but they were every bit as efficient.
