AUSTIN - The silent treatment Follett senior pitcher Jared Robertson was receiving from his Panther teammates Wednesday afternoon ended in the loudest noise the school has made on a baseball field.
Robertson and his knee-high kick overwhelmed Pineland West Sabine hitters, taking a no-hitter two outs into the sixth inning and pitching Follett to a 1-0 Class 1A state semifinal victory at Disch-Falk Field.
Follett will meet the winner of the Shiner-Maud semifinal, which was rescheduled for 8 a.m. today because of rain.
The time and date of the championship game has not been determined.
Right-hander Robertson's impressive one-hitter, along with the first triple of the year by sophomore Brad Barnum, gave Follett its first state final appearance.
"Nobody would have ever thought this," said a smiling Robertson. "I'm so pumped."
Robertson didn't let the biggest game of his high school career, played on the state's biggest stage, faze him. At least while he was on the mound.
"When I walked into Disch-Falk in the morning," Robertson said, "I was in awe."
Robertson used his smooth delivery - which includes dropping down to sidearm on occasion - to strike out 10. He walked one, and faced two batters over the 21 minimum. He threw 73 pitches.
"I tried to stay with my over-the-top fastball," Robertson said. "It was working because they weren't catching up to it. Every once a while I'd throw a sidearm curveball or sidearm fastball to keep them off guard."
Follett sophomore catcher Tanner Woods knew from the get-go a special day was ahead for Robertson.
"I could tell even before the game (Robertson) was ready," Woods said. "You can see it in his eyes."
Robertson's pitching effort was matched by West Sabine's Corey Malone, who threw a solid four-hitter. Malone, 28-2 during his career and 9-0 this season, had escaped a bases loaded jam in the first inning, leaving the score 0-0 after four innings.
In the fifth, however, Follett scored the only run of the game.
Kyle Schultz led off for Follett and drew a walk. Trey Foster put down a sacrifice bunt, moving Schultz to second.
Barnum stepped in. The slender sophomore first baseman lifted a fly to left field. West Sabine left fielder Chris Tribble made a move in, before drifting back.
The ball landed well out of Tribble's reach. Barnum hustled to third for a stand-up triple and with the games' only RBI and extra base hit.
"Brad is our RBI guy," said Follett coach Rob Buffa. "He's our No. 9 hitter and they think easy out. But he's not. I thought right then, this run is enough the way Jared was pitching."
Barnum said: "I knew it had to chance to get over his head. I like being our nine-hole hitter. There is no pressure. I see a lot of meat pitches."
Robertson entered the bottom of the sixth inning without allowing a hit, the lone West Sabine base runner picked off second following a walk.
Between innings, Robertson found a spot in the middle of the bench in the dugout. Robertson shouted out words of encouragement to his teammates, but nobody talk to him.
"You don't go near him and tell him he has a no-no," Woods said. "We weren't talking to him. He had good such good stuff. He was hitting his spots, especially the outside corners."
With two outs in the sixth inning, West Sabine's No. 9 hitter Justin Harley ended Robertson's bid to throw the fourth no-hitter in Class 1A state tournament history.
Follett 1, W. Sabine 0
Records: Follett is 23-3; West Sabine finishes 25-3.
Impact: Follett reaches the state championship game for the first time.
Key Stat: Follett's Jared Robertson pitches a one-hitter.
On Deck: Follett faces the Maud-Shiner winner Friday for the Class 1A title.
Harley slapped a groundball single to right field between Follett first baseman Barnum and second baseman Justin Blau.
"Jared looked at me and kind of smiled," said Buffa. "I smiled back. With two outs, I said just get the third out. He knew the game is more important than the no-hitter."
Said Robertson: "After the hit, I was actually able to relax. I tried not to think about the no-hitter. I just tried to stay in my zone. Nobody said anything to me. I sat in the middle of the dugout and tried to keep everybody pumped up."
Only down 1-0, West Sabine celebrated the single in wild fashion. Then, Robertson hit Danny Bragg, putting the tying run at second. But Robertson ended the threat with a strikeout of Tony Ford.
Robertson pitched a 1-2-3 seventh inning, ending with a fist pump after striking out Drew Ezwerack.
"We picked a bad time to not hit the ball," said West Sabine coach Jim Campbell.
Buffa, in his fourth year at Follett, said only a few thought the Panthers would be playing for a state championahip.
"We had about three coaches and five seniors who thought this was possible from day one," Buffa said. "This is so great. We are finally here."

Logue v. United States
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Logue v. United States, 412 U.S. 521 (1973)
Logue v. United States
No. 72-656
Argued April 24, 1973
Decided June 11, 1973
Petitioners, claiming that their son's suicide while he was confined as a federal prisoner in a county jail was proximately caused by the negligence of Government agents and employees, brought suit under the Federal Tort Claims Act, which establishes Government liability for negligent acts or omissions of an "employee of the Government," defined, inter alia, as a person officially "acting on behalf of a federal agency . . . with or without compensation." The Act excludes any contractor with the United States from the definition of federal agency. Though finding that the county had contracted with the Federal Government to house federal prisoners in its jail, the District Court held that the Government was liable on the grounds that the sheriff's employees negligently failed to maintain adequate surveillance of the decedent (who had attempted suicide while initially incarcerated), and that the Deputy United States Marshal negligently failed specifically to arrange for constant surveillance. The Court of Appeals reversed on the grounds that, under the "contractor" exclusion, the United States was not accountable for the negligence of the sheriff's employees, and those employees were not acting on behalf of a federal agency in an official capacity within the meaning of the Act.
1. The Court of Appeals correctly concluded that, contrary to petitioners' contention, the deputy marshal had no authority to control the activities of the sheriff's employees, and that the jail was a "contractor," not a "Federal agency," within the meaning of the Act; and the statutory authorization for the housing of federal prisoners in state facilities clearly contemplated that the day-to-day operation of the contractor's facilities was to be in the contractor's, not the Government's, hands. Pp. 412 U. S. 526-530.
2. Petitioners' alternative contention that, even though the sheriff's employees might not be "employees" of a federal agency, they might nonetheless be "acting on behalf of a Federal agency in an official capacity," and thus "employee[s] of the Government" within the meaning of the Act, is not consistent with the legislative purpose of the Act. Pp. 412 U. S. 530-532.
3. The Court of Appeals, not having given consideration to the question of the deputy marshal's negligence apart from other issues, should address itself to that question on remand. Pp. 412 U. S. 532-533.
459 F.2d 408 and 463 F.2d 1340, vacated and remanded.
REHNQUIST, J., delivered the opinion for a unanimous Court. STEWART and MARSHALL, JJ., filed a separate statement.
