Brentwood came from behind to beat a tough Mt Juliet team 3-2. Cody Shelton gets the win and Campbell Sholl takes a tough loss.

All games today (Saturday) officially rained out.

IHS pitched their sidearm pitcher who was clocked at 78-80mph and BHS could not get a hit to save their lives but no need to shake the line-up Popovich.

IHS has bases loaded and no outs in 4th........whose in bullpen.......NOONE......Saga continues

If I rememember coreectly, Johnson went into the 5th inning and only allowed 4 runs.....and I believe this is the only 4 earned runs he has allowed all year.

I am not worried about MTSU at all. I just am stating the facts. VU and Belmont have called. Lipscomb, Tevecca, and UT Martin have already offered. Navy is offering this week. My whole point in replying to this thread is that MTSU either does not need a pitcher or else they are slow to react......this is all.

My son is currently rated in the top 500 in the nation and is rated as the top 13 in TN. He is a RHP and has been clocked at 90 this summer, I say all of this because he has heard from virtually every university in middle TN BUT MTSU.....so maybe some of you others can explain that. Last week he got calls from Duke, Notre Dame, and Navy but nothing from MTSU.

Hit After Hit is my son's travel team and i have never seen MTSU coach at any of their games. Just stating facts gentlemen. On this team, off the top of my head, are 1 Vanderbilt signee, 1 ETSU, 2 WKU, 1 Motlow State, and 1 Chattanooga State. Others have signed since season end.

My son now has 2 offers and yet no contact from your coach. He palys on an 18U elite travel team in middle TN and I have yet to see A MTSU coach at any of our games. I repeat that I have seen just about all other local coaches any many national coaches at our games.

Hard to recruit to MTSU? I say no. I think the coaches are lazy. My son plays high school ball and plays on one of the most competitive travel teams in the middle TN area, yet I never see MTSU coaches at games. I have seen Vanderbilt, Murry, APSU, ETSU, UT-M, Belmont, Lipscomb, Columbia State, Jackson State, Maryville College, Rhodes, but NO sign of MTSU at any games. If this new coach wants to be a power, he better not miss the local talent.

With Brentwood's "Coach" anyone has a chance to beat them. Overton proved it tonight. He leaves Shelton in an inning too long, and keeps playing one outfielder that can't hit and has no superior arm and proved it tonight. Brentwood is loaded with talent and yet cannot win the district tournament,or the opening round of the regionals. Same players have made the same errors all year and yet he sticks with the same 9-10 players. Look for many to abandon this team and coach next year. His lack of control of this team post game tonight continues to reflect his lack of leadership.

Actually Brentwood does not have many Srs. They are loaded with Jrs. It looks like 3 Jr pitchers may lead the staff (Shelton, Johnson, Walker)

Jim, Welcome to middle TN. Most competitive travel teams hold tryouts here in early Fall. You may keep trying the message boards here and at the sandlot dot com for teams that may have a late season roster spot to fill. CJ

BHS closed out Indy with a 12-2 game with Kevin Stoffer taking the win. IHS has a very impressive pitching staff but in their 2 losses gave up 24 runs while their bats scored only 6. IHS may need to batting cage time to help out this pitching staff. Good Luck the rest of the season!
