I doubt they'll get 25 against Harriman, but the Tigers could derail the Big Blue Express over the next couple of days.

Rockwood is a fundmentally sound team that always peaks at tournament time. If they play three games it will be interesting to see the pitching match-ups because Harriman can go with Eble, Hampton and Cummings while Rockwood could throw Chandler, Breazeale, Payne or Duncan again just to name a few. Neither team will run out of pitching before the end of the tournament. And with the tournament ending Thursday then both will have everybody available to pitch on Monday.

I dont know who Harriman will throw tommorrow but if they win they just may run out of pitching.

 

Tomorrow they will be able to pitch

Hampton 3 inn

Eble 7 inn

Cummings 5 inn

 

They have a total of one inning leeway for two games. Considering that if one is pulled mid inning it counts an inn for both thats cutting awful close.

 

The advantage of winning is you get a game off between the semi and the final and that will leave Rockwood's pitching situation in much better shape than Harriman's.

 

Since Payne threw all 7 innings Rockwood will have 10 innings available from Chandler, Gilmore, Duncan, Breazele and 3 from Payne available in potentialy two games tomorrow.

I really didn't think that Harriman would pitch Eble and Cummings both against Coalfield, but Coalfield was in the game until the bottom of the fifth and Harriman couldn't take any chances. That definitely gives Rockwood an advantage coming into tomorrow.

What I've been most impressed with is Rockwood's hitting. All nine spots can hit the ball and hit it hard. Earlier in the year I felt Harriman had the better offense, but I give that edge to Rockwood right now.

 

I also doubt that Harriman would use Eble tomorrow. Considering how he is coming off and injury. Harriman may have to win a slugfest in a game if they are to win the title. However, Harriman is capable of doing just that.

 

This is why I love tournament baseball. So much strategy and what-ifs and things like that.

  Rockwood Scored 25 again, with Gilmore throwing a no hitter.

Yes that is right if you are keeping track that is 50 runs in 2 days, one hit allowed, and no runner has made it to 2nd against the Tigers.

 

Wow, they must be playing some really quality opponents!

    • plus it removes the pressure around winning.
    • You are correct.   The teacher's pay scale is virtually the same in Knox County, now, as it is at Oak Ridge.   The coaching supplements are still higher at Oak Ridge, from what I was told, but not a huge difference.   Plus, Rusty is going from a position coach to an OC position, which is what he was at South Doyle and where his comfort zone is.  And from a special education teaching slot to a PE teaching slot.  There is a lot of positivity in that move without even considering the coaching aspect.   Anybody who sees something negative here is just looking for negativity to begin with.  But some live in that world.   Really good hire for Brent.  He now has two experienced and quality coordinators and can concentrate on being a head football coach.  
    • He was pretty darn good for a freshman, but he will have a hard time seeing the field at Oakland for a good while, I’m afraid.
    • Dang I feel bad for the kid. I’m sure he loves his dad and wants to do anything for his dad but I don’t think he realizes his dad isn’t doing the best for his football career if he keeps jumping schools.
    • I’m not taking shots at the kid, but “athlete” is not something I would use to describe him. He was a long, lengthy, defensive back
