Recent Burnet High School graduate Ralston Vance made his community proud June 12 by his play at the Austin Area Baseball Coaches Association All-Star Game.

Vance, who was a second baseman for the North team, handled a line ball that started a double play to end the contest and drew a walk and struckout in his two at-bats. Each team had nine pitchers and two players at each of the remaining positions.

The game ended in a 7-7 tie after nine innings.

“I think he had a lot of fun playing at Dell Diamond,” Burnet head coach Russell Houston said. “He has the experience of playing at Dell Diamond.”

Vance recognized several other all-stars thanks to his time playing select baseball. He was selected to play in the game in May.

The contest was played a day after the University Interscholastic League state tournaments were completed. Houston noted several members of Class 5A state champion Georgetown High School were selected and committed to play in the all-star game. But the Georgetown pitchers did not play.

“We also had a lot of kids playing college baseball,” he said. “You don’t want to get anyone hurt.”
