The ball beat him by a mile? I think that is quite a stretch. Why do you run when down by 6? Adrenaline's flowing, you are one base closer to home, takes the force out and he made it in safe, just didn't get the call. However, that call did not beat us. Again I say, the bats were not there tonight, hopefully they will return tomorrow. Great plays by 1st, short, and 3rd and those plays were typical of what these boys can do and short and 3rd are Sophomores. I have been around this program for the past 5 years and I will say compared to years past, this team is special. They may not be the best but again I say, they are very very young and improving daily. They will only graduate 2 this year...the starting pitcher and the 2nd baseman. I think in the future they will be a force to be reckoned with. Good luck tomorrow to both Lebanon and Riverdale...should be an exciting game.

5 I'm not sure where you were, I was there and witnessed Coach Slone shake hands. It's a good thing Riverdale is a great hitting ball club, and I will give them that, because their defense was very questionable. You would think with 5 errors it would have been a closer ballgame or a loss for Riverdale. Lebanon does have a good hitting team this year, however they were off tonight. As far as the young man showing his behind, he was never tagged with the ball, therefore the correct call would have been "safe", I understand why he was a little upset. I will tell you this, if he acted out of line, he will be reprimanded. Assurance runs when you're up by 6? Give me a break. And, by the way, no one associated with Lebanon (coaches or fans) had the classless behavior that the Riverdale fan had last year at Veterans. To the very young Lebanon ball club, keep your heads up, come out fighting tomorrow...this Riverdale team is very beatable. Even by a primary lineup of Sophomores!

Lebanon wins 14-11

Congrats Lebanon.

Defensively Lebanon is returning: 1B/Jr. Chase Blalock (out w/ankle injury most of this season) 3B/SS Fresh Chase Hudson (had a few starts on 3b this season) C/Fresh Dexter Cross (had several starts this season) 3B/SS/P/2B/C Sophomore Garrett Fancier Outfielders: Jr. Bradley Whited Fresh Brent Morris Fresh Gabe Thompson Pitchers: Christian Jennings Jr. Bradley Whited JR. Cody Farrell Soph Garrett Fancier Soph Brent Morris Fresh Pretty good returning group. To the Seniors of LHS 2006...what a pleasure it has been to watch you young men play ball since most of you were 10-11 years old. I will miss each and every one of you. I wish you all great success in your future endeavers.

Lebanon's Cody Ferrell finished the game with 3 doubles, 2 of those off Killian. This kid is a sophomore. I don't think Killian had an off night, Lebanon prepared to hit against him and they executed. Good luck to all teams throughout the rest of the tournament.

Off the subject of baseball for a minute, and 2priceless I know how much you enjoy these guys so I know this will be of interest to you...Clyde Harville, one of the "Voices of Lebanon" football and basketball broadcast via 98.9FM passed away suddenly on Tuesday of this week after undergoing double knee replacement surgery on Monday. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family as Clyde will be sorely missed by the Lebanon community.

I'm curious...who hit 8 batters? If SS ran his mouth to Powes/SS....well, now I see why two pitches in a row were thrown behind his back. Maybe THAT pitcher needs to practice his "hit the batter" pitch a little more Never said there wasn't mouthing by BOTH teams. Point was, both teams were warned and #1 just happened to be the one to hit another batter. Again, as I said earlier, didn't look to be intentional but he hit him none the less. I think everyone knows there is bad blood between Leb and Riverdale...no lost love, but certainly bad blood.

Both sides were warned if a hitter was hit by another pitch, the pitcher would be ejected. Riverdale pitcher hit a Leb batter and he was ejected, just as the umpires said they would do. I don't think the pitcher hit the batter intentionally, however, the warning had already been given. I'm not sure why the Riverdale team/fans/coaches, etc were so upset. You would have thought they had just been beaten rather than winning 5-0. I did think it was sad that the umpires stopped the boys from going through the lines to shake hands because there was a lot of "mouthing" going on from the Warrior side...both from the players and the fans. Aside from all of the drama, this was a good game through 5 innings the score was 1-0.

Yes, it is true. These guys seem to have found the fight within themselves to PROVE they are contenders! Congrats to the Blue Devils on a well fought, well deserved win. Let's keep it going, guys!

Read the first three sentences, genious. The refs weren't being blamed for the loss, an observation was being made. Hypocrisy?....yea right!

lebanon has got this they cant stop the PAYNE TRAIN

neither Lebanon High School

Upset about WC winning 4 times...nope! Just think that adults should have more respect for others than to light up right in the middle of them. They should not have to be told to move elsewhere. Looking forward to playing WC again next year!! And I never said anything about being mad at the players for what the fans did???

Doesn't surprise me...what I found amusing, or more like rude was the fact that the parents sat in the bleachers and chairs behind home plate smoking with folks sitting all around them. Could have had the courtesy to step away from the crowd to do that. GREAT JOB to Siegel...good job sending the Pioneers packing and good luck against Riverdale and your future games!!

Not overlooking Siegel...nobody can overlook them at this point. They have definately turned it on when they needed to and are going to be tough for ANYONE to beat. Just saying have to get through WC first.

Leb vs Cville...great game. leb up 6-0 cville does not give up and comes back and scores 5...great game. good luck to leb. it's your time guys to shine. let's show WC what we're really all about and take this to rdale. thumb

Game time is 4:30

Checking w/coach. I thought game time was 4:30 as well. Will let you know when he responds.

Killian for WC

Blackman at Lebanon rescheduled for Sunday at 3:00.

Blackman @ Lebanon rained out.

We are not talking about football coaches. There are no classless baseball coaches for LHS. This was a hard fought game by both teams, playing in, unfortunately terrible weather and suffering the entire game with pretty bad umpire behind the plate (both ways). I'm sure emotions were high and maybe some acted as they would not normally act. There was ONE OHS player that seemed to be a little cocky and let it be known. But, then again, most teams have ONE of those. I'm not going to judge OHS baseball or High School by the actions of one. Enjoyed both games between these two teams and hope to meet again in the near future. Good luck to OHS the rest of the season.

Lebanon 3 Columbia 9

Will do thumb
