Hey Willie, you never gave us a rundown of the SH vs. Giles series. It looked like a close one. Does Giles have good pitchers? How was it such a close series?

 

 

It was a very good series. Both teams played hard. Game 1 at SH was full of high emotions. SH was playing for Kris Hardison who would be a SR and the starting SS this season but was killed in a car wreck back in September. SH painted a 1 behind the plate and his jersey will be in the dugout each game this season. Before the game all the SH players touched the 1 behind the plate before hitting the field. Another way SH remembered Kris was they played without a SS for the first pitch of the game. After the game all the players huddled around the 1 to do there "Raider Baseball" breakdown. Giles County wanted the game also. The SH/GC series has become a rivalry. It was one of the loudest games of high school baseball I have been around in a long time... not only were the players loud but the fans on both sides were also. It was a great turn out for the game. Both sides were packed with fans. GC didn't lose as many players as I had once thought. They had several key players returning from last season.

 

Game 1 - GC threw # 34 nicknamed "50". He is a lefty that throws very slow and is hard to hit. SH struggled sitting back and letting the ball travel. Early in the game GC made a few costly errors. One of GC weaknesses is their play in the field. GC is not as solid as they need to be and they really don't have a true SS. They swing the bat pretty good but SH Jake Cartwright and Zack Walton slowed the GC bats to only 1 run. SH put runners in motion and manufactured a few runs early. Late in the game GC threw Foster. He looked pretty good. But it was too little too late... GC couldn't get anything going. Both teams ended the game with 6 hits a piece.

 

Game 2 - What a wild game. SH and GC traded runs the 1st and 2nd Inning. SH added another in the top of the 3rd. GC tied the score in the bottom of the 5th. The team that made the first big mistake late in the game was going to lose and those mistakes hit GC first. In the top of the 8th SH lead off the inning with a 1B then drew a BB and a HBP. GC made a pitching change that lead to a bases loaded BB to put SH ahead 4-3. SH's next batter hit a hard grounder at the GC SS that he bobbled... trying to make up time to get the out at second he launched the throw into RF. SH scored two more runs to make it 6-3. GC couldn't answer in the bottom of the 8th. Both teams left runners on base and in scoring position throughout the game. There were several hard hit balls but also several slow rollers. The infield at Sam Davis seemed to be very slow. GC threw Bowen 7 1/3 innings and Abernathy 2/3. In my opinion Bowen looked good. Threw his fastball well and is off speed stuff got SH batters out on their front foot. SH threw Bigler (4), Brochu (1), and Walton (3). Bigler pitched well also. He geared up on his fastball when needed to and his breaking ball looked great! SH did make some mistakes behind him that hurt but he stayed the course. Brochu relieved Bigler in the 5th... GC had runners on base... I'm not certain of the situation but did hold GC to 1 run in a very tough spot. Walton looked great again. Walton will be tough to hit... especially in a relief role.

 

These games were big for SH considering they were without their ace on the mound. Branham had to miss the series due to a death in the family but the other pitchers stepped up and done the job. SH needs to stay the course and swing the bat better but that will come once they get more games under their belts. GC will bounce back. They are a tough team and will make some noise in the district this year for sure. The GC is pitching is solid and will win them some games this year but as a team they need to improve in the field and at bunting so they can manufacturer runs. GC wasn't able to get bunts down in this series. It will be an interesting year for District 10AA.

Page-6 Marshall- 4

Great ball game! Marshall is better than you would think considering the important players they lost last year. Webb threw great. Gross came in and closed it. The Chapman kid that Marshall brought in relief in the 3rd pithced really well too.

 

 

Sounds like an exciting game.

 

Cartwright threw for SH against Loretto. He went 5 1/3 innings. Walton (1 2/3) put out the fire in the 6th... Loretto had bases loaded with 1 out. Loretto is a young team that will continue to improve throughout the season. Teams do not need to let them hang around because they could sneak up on you in the end. They hustle and play with a lot of heart.

 

Any news from EH and HC game? I know GC and LC got cancelled due to field conditions.
