DC beat Dyersburg 5-3. Had a 5-1 lead until late in the game and finally secured it. We will move on to play Waverly.

Yes LA lost. I think nerves happened all I can say. They sure didn't play like they are capable but it is their first time there ever. It is a big stage to play on. CAK is good. We are much better than we showed today you can't win a game usually with only 3 hits and defense was pretty much not there. It is what it is.

Hmm. We have made it to state three times in a row now and I still haven't seen her called for leaping and she's started since freshman year. Shouldn't they call that at the state tournament level? I'm not trying to be a prick. I'm honestly asking. During her down time she plays in the highest level leagues you could imagine and still has never been called. I can tell you the people she has talked to at colleges also have never said anything to her. Strange in my opinion that this is the first time I've seen it mentioned.

Sorry didn't finish my post. I wasn't there but was told that the leaping was called against Dekalb today so I guess it wasn't just me that thought so.

I watched Livingston today and that sure didn't look like the team we played all year. What happened, nerves? DeKalb hit the ball very well as usual, their SS<I think it was ss> hit one out, but I watched five or six illegal pitches called on 15 and when she had to keep that toe down they hit off her. I know next year our umps can't use that line now , that it hasn't been called on her. So, good luck to DeKalb and Livingston, I hope someone from this area brings home some hardware!

We'll see what happens this evening. Yesterday Waverly's pitcher retired 21 straight batters for a perfect game. Hopefully we get the bats going. Who knows.

DeKalb County pitcher, Caplinger, has been illegal all year and last year and it is ashamed the umpires have let it go.  She could have fixed it if the umps had done their jobs.  Now they get into the State and it is being called.  At least these umps are doing their jobs.  She is a good pitcher, but could have been better.  And, I put it on the coach as well.  He knew she was illegal and he let it go.  

 

Anyway, I am for DeKalb and hope they bring that trophy home!

DC just had a homer taken away. Man that sucks. Had one hit over left field fence and the ump took a timeout right when the pitcher let go of the ball so they didn't count it.

Score? Who hit it?
