Baseball playoff roundup: Coppell ousts Flower Mound

For Coppell, the bats are working as well as they have all year. On Friday night, Coppell defeated Flower Mound, 12-0, earning a sweep in the Class 5A bidistrict series. It won the first game, 9-2.

And for Coppell (28-6-2), it has been like this for the last six weeks. A late March 8-0 loss to Southlake Carroll inspired coach Don English to give his team more swings in practice.

“I knew it was time to make a change,” he said.

Since then, Coppell has lost just twice. One of those came to Flower Mound, but this time the Cowboys had no trouble.
