I'm not gonna mention anything about the umpires but as far tssaa doing away with volunteer coaches is going to hurt many coaching staffs and the players themselves. We've got a volunteer coach on our staff and he alone has pushed and brought our entire pitching staff to whole new level. We owe a lot of thanks to these men who aren't getting paid a thing to be out on the field at practices pushing us trying to make us better just for the satisfaction of seeing us succeed.
WV played great. BT had a homerun and Linden threw a no no.
WV executed when they needed to and just played a good ball game all the way through. Way to go 25 after Murray's one hitter that was big shoes to fill, I think you did alright.
I agree with Hawk pre-season is where you see whose got the talent and who wants the position the most. Pre-season games determine so much all the way down to pitching rotation and batting line-up. Without pre-season you're going into the season behind all the other teams who are taking advantage of the opportunity of pre-season games.
