MJ wins 15-7

any details? For some reason I have the feeling Norris didn't pitch for SH? Not saying that because MJ won, just based on the amount of wins he has this season. Seems like he has to have at least a week's rest?

You are correct, he did not pitch.

Questionable call right here I think.. Why not throw Norris??? He's had since friday to rest. Now it's going to be MUCH more difficult for SH to make it out of the bracket, and that's being nice. Very odd move.

They will not pitch Norris if they think he will lose. They have done it for 3 years. They will pull him before he can take the loss if they are losing. They will do whatever it takes to keep his record. That is why he only has 6 wins. One of the wins they are counting is the first game of the conference tournament where they pulled him after 2 and the next pitcher pitched 3. Everyone gave the reliever the win except Science Hill. At least 6 games or more this year, they pulled him because they were afraid he would take a loss.

 

They have nothing else pitching consistently so they might win when he pitches but that will be it.

Hate to say it, but I have got to question that too. A kid who is "the #1 prospect in the country" should have more than 6 wins and should DEFINITELY pitch the first game of the state tournament. SH has just royally screwed themselves out of a championship. Even if he is tired, you do whatever you have to to win the state championship. Pfeifer threw another complete game shutout tonight, adding to his legacy at Farragut.

 

No doubt Norris is a great talent, but no one can doubt Pfeifer is the best "pitcher" in the state, especially in big games.

Way to go Bears!

good job Bears! finish it off

coach EDWrds mDE good decision. norris on3 dAYS rest for the 3rd time in a row was not a good choice. SH pitched and hit well enough to win. Defense let them down. having Norris on full rest the next day was critical. Coach knows someone else has to pitch effectively to win it all.

I've watched SHHS play evry game that norris pitched. He was never lifted early to protect against a loss.
