Scrimmage results for East TN Teams

[ORbaseball]

Since no paper publishes scores or highlights scrimmages, I wanted to start a thread on the topic.

 

Oak Ridge scrimmaged Knoxville Catholic 2-18-13, and Oak Ridge won 9-3 in a 9-inning scrimmage. Through 5 innings, Oak Ridge was up 9-0 on good pitching by Seniors Jordan Lane, Connor Roberts, and Reid Elwood. Lane was also the big stick for Oak Ridge, getting on base every time. Catholic seemed to have trouble with the off-speed pitches, and Oak Ridge capitalized on that weakness. Catholic pitching had flashes of greatness, but walks came back to haunt them as Oak Ridge again capatilized and put up a lot of runs early. Considering it was the first scrimmage for both, not a bad game defensively either with few errors and some nice defensive plays.

Oak Ridge scrimmaged Jefferson County on Saturday, 2-23, and it ended in a 4-4 tie. It was a well played scrimmage by both teams with solid pitching and defense, most of the hitting and runs scored by the tops of the line-up.One of the surprises for the Oak Ridge pitching is junior shortstop Stephen May who has pitched well for the wildcats in his 5 innings this preseason giving up only one run. Jefferson County appears to have a stable of good pitchers as well, and I expect both of these teams will have successful seasons if they contine and improve upon the level of play they exhibited on Saturday and can stay healthy.
