Final per the prediction/update thread.

Josh Bellew started and went 4 for Ryle scattering 4-5 hits allowing no runs. While not overpowering, Bellew was able to locate his fastball very nicely, mixing in a decent breaking ball to keep Scott off Balance. Offensively, Ryle used it's team speed, some sharply hit balls by Raines, Baumann, Clarkson, Forbes and some pretty shoddy Scott Defense to put up 6 runs in the first four Innings. Tom Deters relieved Bellew giving up 3 runs in 1 1/3 innings before being relieved by Ethan Brennan who worked out of a one out bases loaded jam by striking out Scott Shortstop Reed Spata and inducing catcher Kyle Kramer into an inning ending force play. Scott Catcher Kyle Kramer is a definite follow in Northern Kentucky for his ability to spray hard liners all over the field. He went 3-3 before hitting a sharp two hopper to short to end the threat in the sixth. Scott Pitcher Brenden Wells took the loss pitching 3 plus innings allowing 6 runs, many of which were unearned.

Blake Gay relieved Wells and kept Ryle off balance with a mid-70's fast ball and nice breaking ball. Gray also stroked a nice double to the gap in deep right center.

In my opinion, Ryle High School, while only 2 games into the season, has what it takes to make a run at the regional title: Crazy team speed, excellent defense ( 1 error ), Will hit for high team average with 4-5 boys having serious gap to gap power potential. Pitching will dictate Ryle's overall Success.

*Blake Gay not Gray. Agree 100% Kramer already has 1 bomb this year. One of the better hitters in the area this year for sure.

I would have to agree. I really like their team but I cannot speak for the pitching and as we all know, it's all about the pitching.
