They have good players, the boys work hard, they play all summer long, they raise bunches of money. They are now HOME. What could be the problem?
What happened is they play in District 8 AAA, that is extremely competitive. There is not a lot of difference in the District teams, especially this year. Tournament baseball is about who is hot at the time they play the tournament. Any of the teams could win the tournament without it being much of a surprise. Columbia couldn't get past Coffee Co, which apparently played its best baseball this week.

What time is the game at Columbia on Sunday?
Sportsguy, I don't know how long its been since you have seen a game at Lawrence County, but I take exception to you saying its a terrible playing surface. This district is fortunate to have fine places to play at all 7 locations. I can't believe the District is being played at Columbia without lights. I wouldn't be surprised if it got changed since the plans were to play at Columbia State.

Clay Brown picked up his 8th win for the Wildcats with a 4-2 victory. Manchester got 5 hits off of Brown. Lawrence plays Lincoln Wednesday in the Championship.

If I had to guess, I'm sure he or she has gotta be talking about the PA guy. I've listened to the radio guys and they do a great job over there. The PA guy is pretty one-sided from what I've heard, so I kind of agree. Maybe he'll get better or they'll get somebody else. He is annoying more than anything.
I was at the game. It was a tournament game, but it was on Coffee Co's home field. The announcer treated it like a home game for Coffee, which is the advantage of hosting the tournament. It didn't offend me.

Lawrence Co 3 Shelbyville 2. Clay Brown was the winning pitcher. 2-2 in the 7th. Shelbyville got the go ahead runner to 3rd with 1 out, but Brown got 2 strike outs to get out of the jam in the 7th. Lawrence Co scored the winning run on freshman Dylan Bosheers bad hop single over the shortstop to win the game in the bottom of the 7th. LC finishes 6-6 in the district.

I believe the 8AAA all district team has been named. Lawrence County members were Matt Hartsfield (MVP), Scott Beasley (Pitcher of the Year) Holden Killen, Brody Clanton, Orry Blackwood, Blake Rogers and Clay Brown. I'm not sure about the other members.

This may be a first! Someone saying Lawrence County has any umpire that favored them.
-
Scott Beasley for Lawrence Co beat Columbia Saturday 1-0 with 5 hits. Lovett for Columbia lost 1-0,but only gave up 2 hits.

Lawrence Co 16 Shelbyville 7 Brady Hutton is the winning pitcher. Home runs by Matt Hartsfield, Nick Campbell, and Blake Rogers (Grand Slam). Lawrence County is co-champion with Lincoln Co, and should be the number 1 seed since they swept Columbia and Lincoln Co split with Columbia. First District Championship for the Wildcats since 1981. Congratulations Wildcats !!!

QUOTE(Warhawk1 @ Apr 18 2007 - 01:44 PM) 826440413[/snapback]I don't want to throw stones, don't know how many for sure. Just a bunch of guys standing around and talking after the game. He did throw the entire 10 innings and Lincoln County had 15 hits, so he faced, what at least 45 batters or so plus any walks. Adds up to a bunch.
He had 135 pitches for the 10 innings. He only had 1 inning where he faced 6 batters, the other 9 innings were fewer than 6 most being 4 batters an inning. He faced a total of 44 batters. I bet Scott Beasley would be ready to pitch today if they needed him.

Lawrence County won 11-10. The game was 1-0, 2-0, 2-2, 8-2, 10-8 and 11-10 with Lawrence County scoring the go ahead run in the bottom of the 6th with Blake Rogers scoring the go ahead run on a passed ball. Brady Hutton got the win in relief of Drew Stoffel. Ben Aaron took the loss.

As long as there is no Senior Babe Ruth in their town anyone is eligible.
I don't think that is correct for Babe Ruth competition. You must be within your league's boundaries to be eligible to play Babe Ruth regardless if there is no BR league in that area. If you are outside the boundary and someone catches you, your team will be disqualified. I'm sure lots of folks have skirted this rule and gotten away with it, but the rule is very clear, you must be within your league's boundary to be eligible.

Senior Ben Lowery got a no hit shutout against Hardin Co on 4-29 as the Cats won 13-0 in 5 innings. Lowery had 8 k's and walked 3. Matt Hartsfield homered for the Wildcats.

tullahoma and franklin co have actual stadiums that they play in
the worst is lawrence co
everyelses fields are average
I'm curious why you think Lawrence County is the worst, especially since the field now has lights. Columbia doesn't. Franklin Co has the best place to play, with Tullahoma not far behind. The other 5 all are quality fields. Lincoln Co's bowl type seating probably puts it in 3rd place.

Lawrence County 14 Lincoln Co 10

Look at Bryan's interview in the Tennessean this morning. He indicated that Tampa Bay talked like paying him a 1 million dollar bonus after taxes would not be a problem, apparently knowing that is what it would take for him to go pro. I hope that is the case for the young man. Too many variables in baseball.
-
Tullahoma: John Shelton, Jack Casteel, Ben Walker, Ben Darlington (offensive POY) Morris (MVP and Pitcher of the year)
Lawrence: Steven Shults(3rd time), Jase Duke, Rob Augustin, Wesley Wright.
Columbia: Ryan Lewis, Jay Howard, Jordan Toombs
Shelbyville: Jared Frazier, Tony Allen, Josh Bobo
Lincoln: Dakota Gardner, Heath Sharp , Derek Douglas
Franklin Co: Denny Zimmerman and Lance Walker
Coffee: Bubba Vincent (3rd time I think) JJ Webster

Columbia was very impressive Wednesday, beating Lawrence Co 22-10 in 6 innings. They had 25 hits, 4 homers and several doubles and triples. Lawrence County had 12 hits. I can't remember a game with that much offense in a long time.
