Both teams will play in the district tournament play-in games on Thurs, May 3 as Lewis Co. travels to Loretto and Page will host Spring Hill.

Great game, both teams swinging away, but the team who was better tonight won. All of Pages games have been such a toss up, splitting with most teams in the District. Good luck to the Patriots in Post-season play!

hey Pageman why was this game not played on tuesday? just wondering I noticed where page earlier in the year did not play back to back district games like the district voted on.

[Cowboys Up]

It was such a beautiful night for baseball.

I do not know why the Lewis game was not played back-to-back on Tuesday. The earlier games with Giles Co. were not played back-to-back because of some Senior function that was scheduled for that Tuesday. I'll ask Coach Brown about the Lewis games.

The reason Page did not play back-to-back games with Lewis Co. involved a function being held at Lewis Co. on Tuesday. It appears that sometimes school administrators do not check baseball schedules when other events are scheduled. I don't think that Page gained any unfair advantage, baseball'smygame, if that's what you're implying.

It was a good senior night for Cory, Jeff, and Logan...congratulations to them!

i dont know if the better team won or not lewis played well and if not for a couple bonehead calls at home it would have been a lot closer. we had two runs taken away from us. do you know if hughes is going to AP as a pitcher or as a fielder? good luck to page the rest of the year.

As I have talked with several parents of other teams, they all say Lewis Co. is a better team than their record indicates. You are correct, LCHSpanthers4419, there were three plays on Lewis Co. runners at the plate that were very close - two involved runners trying to score on passed balls and one where the runner tried to score from 2nd on a single. It appeared from my vantage point that the correct calls were made - it probably appeared different from the opposite side of the field. Jeff Hughes signed with Austin Peay as a pitcher. Good luck to Lewis Co. against Loretto on Thursday. I know that the parents from both Marshall Co. and Giles Co. said that they are glad they don't have to play in the play-in games because all the teams are pretty tough on any given day.

2 of the 3 plays were very close the one in the 7th was definately out and the other one trying to score on the pass ball was close but the one on the runner trying to score from second was safe the catcher missed the tag by at least six inches to a foot. lewis has had error problems all year. we have at least one bad inning a game. we have out hit almost every team we have played this year. good luck page against SH.
