Did at least one Bluegrass Preps member attend? Nothing on KHSAA scoreboard. Same for Enquirer.

Final was 12-10 T.

Plenty of BGP folks in attendance.

 

I stayed for 2 + innings with the Birds up 6-1. Not sure what happened after that. Trinity put on a miserable display of defensive baseball for 2 innings. Runners were taking extra bases on booted balls in the outfield, a couple of overthrows, a whiff on a pop-up to first base. I guess they settled down after that. Someone that was able to stay for the entire game will need to fill in the rest.

 

 

More importantly, the game was senior day for the 9 HHS boys. It was community appreciation day with free concession food. The Team Tammy shirts were a nice touch and the Birds wore special pink uniform tops for the game.

Many on here know I'm a homer when it comes to Coach Baioni but the above is exactly why I am.

Other than the top of the 3rd inning, it was a "Great day to be a Bluebird" yesterday.

 

*Senior Day for 9 quality players / people and all 9 got to play

*Community Appreciation day for everyone from babies to toddlers to high school students to old folks (like me)

*Team Tammy ('nuff said)

*Baby Birds rally to defeat NewCath 4-1 with 4 runs in the top of the 7th in the Frosh Tourney

*JV Birds defeated Brossart 11-5 in the JV Tourney opener

*Dirty Birds hit the ball hard and took advantage of some shaky fielding to go up 6-1 after 2 innings

*Dirty Birds rallied for 4 runs in the last 5 innings rather than tucking their tails and hiding

*Beautiful weather (if a bit chilly)

*Got to see Coach Duggins

 

 

Now about the top of the 3rd. Wow! Each of the infielders, a usually solid group over the past 2 yrs., had an error or a miscue. Birds pitchers worked from behind in the count and walked at least 3 and probably more. (Even more of a mortal sin than usual when leading 6-1!) When they did get the ball over the plate, it was elevated and Trinity mistreated those pitches -- as they should -- including a 3 run bomb to end the scoring.

 

Hopefully the kids focus on all of the positives and let that 1/2 inning slip from their memories. Plenty of these players (and parents) remember when those innings were the norm instead of the exception. We've come a long way since then, but still have a ways to go. Gotta keep grinding!!! #RTB

I am happy to finally read about the game. The fact there was no score to be found as of 1AM this morning had me concerned about alien body snatchers overtaking Ft. Thomas area. Trinity evened their record at 14-14. The Rocks apparently needed the 11 run outburst to escape the nest with a victory. See you all in St. Matthews in August.
