Conner gets a fairly easy win.

 

Conner out hit HC 10-9 (according to the score board) neither team had many hard hit balls. Simms was on big time today and not really sure how HC managed to get to 9 hits, a lot of them were in the last 2 innings.

 

Holy Cross couldn't field a ball to save there live. HC had I believe 7 errors and of course Moran had several (I hope JMU never plays at NKU bc for what ever reason she stuggles on defense there) I would say to make it worse several of Connors hits should have been caught also.

 

Conner's first two runs were scored on bang bang plays at home. The first one was on a routine ball hit to 3rd with two outs in the 4th, HC's 3rd baseman went home instead of first the ball clearly beats her home but the umps says she gets under the tag. The second one was about the same way but the ump says the catcher missed the tag, I had a real good view of that one and I disagree, but I am guessing Connors fans were going to say they were safe both times and I know HC's fans were saying both were outs. Conner probably still finds a way to win the game but if HC gets the calls it could have changed the game, most of HC's errors came after the second call. Tough calls for the umps either way and maybe even tougher for HC bc usually if it is a bang bang play and the ball beats them there they are called out more times than not. I would say if the ump got both calls right he may be one of the best of all times bc they were both really close.

 

Not that I am happy with those calls bc HC didn't do near enough to win just trying to lay out the scene.

 

Very impressed by Simms even though HC some how got 9 hits I think that might have been the best performence I have seen so far this season. Some of those hits may have been bc Conner had such a big lead late. Also not sure how Conner's centerfielder (Himes I believe) ended up hitting wise (guessing like 2 for 4 or 3 for 5) but I was also really impressed with her, she appears to be a real tough out. I am not sure if she had an off day the first time we played but I did not notice her like I did today.

 

Good luck to all, hopefully tomorrow brings out some better softball bc tonight at least NCC, HC and Dixie didn't play it real well.

Agree sloppy game, but Holy cross had a great year and tonight shouldn't take away from that.

 

I asked HC catcher Herrmann (SP) if she tagged the baserunner after the game and she said she did not. Coach Meeks thought the Conner runner didn't tag home and that is why he came out to ask the plate umpire about.

 

As for the rest of the game, Moran had good hits, as did Herrmann and Kozerski. Defensively HC was a mess. The fly ball to right center should have been caught. Some poor decisions, and well girls softball. to their credit Holy Cross never quit.

 

Conner should be happy to advance where they will take on a Dixie team that somehow found a way to advance to the semifinals beating NCC.

I believe you 100% but I asked her the same question and she said yes, Damn girls! and I thought she did, no fault of the umps there but he didn't have a good view bc the way the slide went. Some people were saying the first girls didn't get to home, I had bad view of that but who knows, just double sucks bc she throws it to first and Conner is scoreless through 4.

That is a fact and the runner was on third to begin with because a high fly ball wasn't caught...

Yeah very true, I can't remember was that the first batter of the inning to hit that. I just remember several of us turning as saying how in the hell did we get out of that, then she thows home.

I thought she was the second batter, but now my mind is getting numb from too much softball-high school and college.

There was one out in the inning when Sims hit the "rain-maker", that without question should have been caught. Sims on 3rd next batter K's (why she was not bunting :idunno:, at least that would have been my call). Then the "head-scratcher", I thought JMU was going to blow a gasket!!!

 

HC pitcher had Conner kind of "baffled" for the 1st 5 innings. Will agree 100% on Sydney Himes, she flatout got it done tonight, her speed is "stupid". :thumb:

Pics are awesome thanks!!

 

Of course the first pic is the first play at the plate, hard to tell from the pic alone but knowing how HC's catcher was standing she sure seems out to me. Looks like unless the catcher is standing behind the plate she is out. I know the ump was saying safe bc she got under the tag and the tag is high, that does not appear to be the case.

 

Weather safe or out I can't blame the ump to much bc they were both real close in real time. But the were HUGE plays in the game.

Only been on that surface a few times, but I didn't care for it much. Several of the area high school infields are smoother.

I know this sounds like a stupid dad comment but maddy probably has more errors there in 2 games this year than she has had in her last 50 plus games..

 

Not sure if it has anything to do with the field or no one would sell me that lawnboy away spray bc you guessed it he was at both games!!!

 

Love me some Lawnboy!!

Can we pay someone to keep him away tonight!!!! Check IDs at the gate please. We turned in our pass list...can I put him on a "do not allow in the park and stay away from our bench" list????

I think LB stole one of Al Lowes chicken wings years ago and Uncle Al put a curse on him.

Field looked fine and most of Holly Cross errors where throwing. I would like to know the list of Several High School fields that are better surfaces than NKU's field. Everyone plays on the same surface.

I could see Al being into Voodoo! Especially when it comes to wings!!! What a great guy though! Al...not Lawnboy.
