Ransom Protests Expanded Texas Association Schedule
Corsicana baseball club president Dude Ransom says protests will be filed against adding six games to the first half of the Texas Association schedule. League officials deny intent to reach 60 games, with contention over whether the first half ends at 60 or 66 games and a possible double header on July Fourth. The debate leaves the pennant race tight among Corsicana, Mexia, Temple, and Austin as the season nears its end.
