Whats up

Sycamore showed their power tonight in the Commando Classic.Hitting four home runs in their first two pool games. Sam Watts, Chellie Myers, C-Jay Nicholson and Coty Garrett all went deep! Sam picked up both wins running her record to 3-0. Giving up three hits and striking out 6 in a 7-2 win over Pope John Paul II. Finishing the night by striking out 8 and allowing only two hits in a 8-1 win over LaVergne.

Good quality win tonight Lady War Eagles, Peanut pitched a great game and you hit the ball well. The defense looked alot better and with Sam back in the line up maybe you can build on this as we get ready for the tournment. Good luck tomorrow night at Central.

baserunner - you are half right - the runner did get a hit because she would have beaten out the throw to first, but she reached second which put her into scoring position due to the error - our right fielder missed the ball. Also a fielder’s choice is not a hit. As for the umpire error no one said it was team error. And BOO-YAH! no one has to make excuses - it's just a matter of time before your name gets changed to BOO-WHO!

I've been enjoying this softball wisdom that you people have bestoyen on us. Let me start by saying that Creek Wood is the team to beat , and until someone beats them you may as well get use to people like shut up and play because (the GIRLS ON THAT TEAM HAVE EARNED IT) Remember that this game is played by the girls and if you pay much attention to them before and after the games they usely get along pretty well unlike some people on this post. Now with that has been said the night that Sycamore played Creek Wood "shut up and play" got on one post and asked for details of the game, because he wasn't there but he knew the score 2-1 Creek Wood. Now he does not remember any errors. Which is it? Were you there or not? I was there and unless we are playing 5-6 year old coach pitch a ball hit to the pitcher mound threw into right field is not a HOME RUN. There were several errors made. I right this with some hesatation because I don't want anyone to think I'm crying that the umps cost Sycamore the game, because I'm not. Creek Wood won the game and better luck to Sycamore the next time. Shut up and play is always saying he is just stating the facts, well here are the fact; during the course of a game there are always several plays that change a game a strike out with the bases loaded, an error or a bad call, they just seem to stick out more in close games. SECOND INNING - ERROR 1 - Creek Wood base hit to right, right fielder trys to field ball and throw girl out at first base - ball go's threw her legs allowing runner to advance to second and scoring position. A ERROR on base on right field - ERROR 2 - that is there from throwing error in right, left fielder trys to throwout girl at home. The throw should have wen to second base . Throw is off line allowing batter to advances to third a two base ERROR - Those are the two errors that Sycamore commited allowing one run to score and putting another in scoring poisition. Now at this point with a runner on third there were several errors made one by the umpire, and one by Sycamore's coaching staff for not knowing the rule and two by Sycamore's score keeper for not getting the coach to question the call and one for not listening to his wife when she called on her cell phone to question the call from the gate. With two outs runner on third, 0-2 count on batter Sycamore's catchers glove gets hit by the bat catcher interference is called the right call. Runner is awareded first base, which is right. Now is when things go wrong umpire awards runner at third home - WRONG - Score now Creek Wood 2 Sycamre 0 next batter strikes out should be Creek Wood 1 Sycamore 0. Sycamore scores 1 run in bottom of 2nd. And the game ends after a couple of base running errors on both teams 2-1 Creek Wood. Now the facts of this matter are: Number:1 I call the TSSAA rule person, because I have do not have a TSSAA RULE book. I was told that the RULE (I beleive on page 58) state that in the case of catcher interference that the first base shall be awarded to the batter and NO OTHER RUNNER SHALL ADVANCE UNLESS FORCED. Number: 2 Creek Wood won the game there now 6-0 and are the team to beat. Good Luck to all teams in 10AA because at the end of the day it just a Game. Just remember Shut up and play when your stating the facts state them all.

Good question. I think it has something to do with the distance.

Sycamore High has 2 of the top catchers in the state, Garrett and Watts. Watts is not only one of the tops behind the plate but also on the mound.

Samantha Watts, a sophomore at Sycamore High School pitched a no hitter against Montgomery Central on the 21st.
