Any update?

Got a text from someone who was there saying it was 3-2 Campbell County final. No details though.

I think the Camels have a couple of sophmores starting varsity. How are they? Do any freshman play varsity?

I think the Camels have a couple of sophmores starting varsity. How are they? Do any freshman play varsity?

 

They had 2 sophomores starting tonight:

 

P - Tyler Walsh - SR

C - Robert Metz - SOPH

1st - Austin Richardson - JR

2nd - Mitch Kramer - SR

3rd - Joe Kremer - JR

SS - Josh Reynolds - SOPH

LF - Avery Wood - JR

CF - Paul Griffis - SR

RF - Rob Franzen - SR

Overall a well played and pitched game on both sides at UC Health Field at Florence Freedom.

 

Walsh and Franzen pitched for Campbell Co. JR Vermeil and SR Liggett pitched for HHS

 

1st 5 Birds went down in order. JR Allen, SO Hennigan & SR Lester followed with 3 straight singles with 2 out in the 2nd. SR Seidl scorched a line drive that was caught by the LF to end the inning.

 

Camels scored 1 in the 2nd with a single (#7), stolen base, sac, walk, reached on error (run scored), K, K.

 

Camels also scored 1 in the 3rd via single (#15), stolen base, 1-3 ground out (runner to 3B), walk, single (run scored), K, K

 

Birds pushed 2 across in the 5th via single from SR Seidl, stolen base, stolen base, single from SR Molina (run scored), stolen base, single by SR Murray (run scored). Huge play then when SR Murray was thrown out at 2B after the Camels kicked it around a bit in the infield handling the throw from CF. Nice aggressive baserunning, but it didn't work out and the next 2 batters made outs.

 

Liggett pitched scoreless 5th & 6th innings.

 

JR Allen was stranded in the 6th after a 1 out single and steal of 2B.

 

Birds missed a chance in the 7th when SR Seidl was walked to lead off the inning. Birds failed to get down a sac bunt to move Seidl over and then were called out on the next pitch for stepping on the plate while bunting. SR Seidl was running and would have been at 2B, but had to go back. SR Murray then hit a line drive to the 3B with SR Seidl running on the pitch resulting in a DP.

 

Camels scored on a single (Franzen?), stolen base and another single (Walsh?) with 2 outs in the 7th.

 

 

Key for both teams included getting the 1st batter on in innings where they scored (except the 7th where Camels rallied with 2 outs.)

 

Not sure where Walsh and Franzen set up in Campbell Co.'s rotation (and whether Franzen will start any games), but both had good velocity and location.

 

Vermeil and Liggett both looked strong on velocity, breaking balls and location. They, and many others, will be needed during the 7 games in 5 days in Myrtle Beach next week.

 

So far, in 7 games, Birds have outscored their 7 opponents 36-21, but are 3-4. 3 1-run losses and 1 2-run loss. Also, 3 of 4 losses in final inning or extra innings.

 

Great to get the game in and have a chance to get better. Thanks to the Florence Freedom and for those fans on both sides that came out to watch. Birds Varsity and JV play at Carroll Co. on FRI and at Elder on SAT before heading to The Ripken Experience in Myrtle Beach next week.

Overall a well played and pitched game on both sides at UC Health Field at Florence Freedom.

Great recap JPA. Thanks for doing it. Sounds like the Birds are making progress despite the bad weather. Good luck to them in SC. Safe travels to all involved.

Good summary. Thanks! Hope the Birds have a safe & fun trip to Carroll Co., Elder, and Myrtle Beach.

Sophomore Blake Losey hit Franzen in. Losey went in for Walsh when Franzen came in from right field to pitch.

Overall a well played and pitched game on both sides at UC Health Field at Florence Freedom.

Great recap Jpa, appears the Birds will need to learn how to play small ball and close the deal on the close games...

 

Good luck in Myrtle Beach, will we be getting complete game recaps each day?

Seidl, assuming he can get on, is a really nice weapon. Glad to see JB letting him run. IMO too many coaches do not take advantage of the steal.

Great point especially when Seidl aka ("Frog"/"Cricket"/"Cupcake") can flat out fly on a turf field and has been know to have left many defenders far behind as we all seen in the past...:thumb:

Now that the Birds have 7 games under their belt, would it now be ok for someone to pls post a roster of the teams???

What impressed me more about Seidl than his speed was that he and the rest of the Birds for that matter did a great job of getting good jumps and reading the pitcher.

 

Great game by both clubs, who are, in my opinion, pretty evenly matched, and a good early season win for the Camels. A little execution more execution both ways and this could've been a 1-0 or 2-1 game. Pitchers were on their game as there were only a few balls that were hit hard all night. Camels caught the right breaks at the right time, and a big time AB by Losey at the end of the game to win it.

 

Good luck to both teams the rest of the way.

Wow, is that right? Have HHS already played 7 games? This weather is starting to mess with my psychie, Cooper has only gotten 1 game in so far.
