Homeruns anyone?

[hard_ball1]

From Unicoi...

 

Lynsey Canady- 8

Emily Bennett- 7

 

The team total is nearly 25. The devils have had 7 different players hit homeruns this season. I just don't know the other totals or I would post them.

Which world series (and not putting them down because it sounds like they have a really good team)?

 

That is a good question, which brings up a point. Homeruns are great but they seem not to happen against good teams with good pitching. I mean some of the teams that I am reading about say they have all these homeruns and I am looking at the teams they have played and its like " wow" who have they played that is really good? When I have watched some of these teams against a top five team, their bats are silent and they have trouble getting on base.

I agree and in reverse it is hard for a player who can hit big off good a pitcher to hit off a slow pitcher.

 

Also, I would be interested in the size of the fields. In my experience the distance to the fence varies greatly in some areas.

I agree, and some teams dont even play on fields with fences, so those home runs shouldnt even count

without a error on the play they should count but I also think all the fences should be 200 to 215' the ones that should'n is the fields that have 185' fence that's just a lazy pop fly.

She hit 2 out against Kingston this weekend in the Crossville Tournament.....

Kaitlynn Reed Hit one out also at the Tournament in Crossville too. I kind of suprised that she hitting more out i guess her elbow is still hurting her.

Crossivlle is 200' with a tall fence one that goes out there to me is a homer it's the 185' that is a lazy fly anywhere else that's a joke. Kaitlynn is a heck of a ball player.

On an open field, I have seen ground balls thru the infield roll between the two outfielders and goes for a homerun because there is no fence to stop it. Those should not be counted as homeruns. With a fence, the most it would be is a double, or triple

the question was homeruns right, i do believe standard softball field is 200 to 220 but i do know that some of the girls in the little town of erwin have hit at least 220 to 240 my question who has the most in in the dist 1 aa schools is there such a record. and dont forget the faster the ball the farther it goes. and ladies good luck to all keep stroke in that ball.

I've seen about 10 to 15-at most-hit at Sequatchie (200 feet with a normal height wall) in 4 or 5 years, total, home team and visitors. Two this year, one home team and one away team. Visitors have included teams like GPS, East Ridge, others, teams with Division I and high level juco/NAIA signing hitters. Sorry if I'm skeptical on some, and that wasn't the point on the world series question and it wasn't to single out one team.

Alison Blackwood Freshman at LCHS hit one last night in a 11-1 win over Mt. Pleasant. That was Alison's third for the year. The field was regulation size and she hit a good 210-215 and when it left he bat there was no doubt where it was going. Congrats Alison keep swinging.

I like to watch Ann Mullen of Cascade tee off. We may have to replace our Soccer field bleachers which sit behind left field fence if she continues to abuse them!...<G>
