Birds lost 2 of 3 in their opening day at Lawrence Co. Based on reports I got, here is a brief summary (please correct any errors):

 

Lawrence Co. 3 HHS 2 (8 inn.)

 

Birds pitched well (4 inn from SO Jones & 3 inn from SR Liggett) but bats were a little silent. Facing 2 more games before returning home, they dipped into the bullpen in the 8th and found some wildness to allow in the winning run. Overall, a well played game for the 1st game of the season facing a team already playing their 4th.

 

HHS 13 Capital (WV) 6

 

Birds got out quickly with 7 runs early, suffered a lull in the middle of the game to allow Capital to cut it to 7-6 and then cranked it up to finish strong. JR Vermeil for 4 inn & 3 inn from JR Cochran helped preserve the staff and both pitched well. No details on offensive performances other than a bases clearing double with 2 outs from SO Mills.

 

Prestonsburg 3 HHS 1

 

Birds led 1-0 going into the top of the 7th. PBurg had few or 0 hits after 6. Not sure of the details on how they scored in the top of the 7th. SO Martin and SO Ball both pitched great through 6 inn. SR Murray may have pitched a bit in the 7th.

 

 

SR Schultz did not pitch. Not sure if he will pitch this week against Holmes (TUE) or Conner (WED). Hope there is no injury or arm soreness.

Thanks for the update Jpa.

Any word on the status of today's game?

Nice recap but each game needs its own thread.
