katbird Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Highlands with 1 hit. I think this is what is going to kill HHS this year. The Birds are way to inconsistent with the sticks.:idunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbird2013 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 It's my understanding that Highlands sit 4 starters to begin the game. This was by far the best competition that they will face in South Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpa2825 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Not sure there are any "starters" yet (in the sense of Sparky Anderson and the Big Red Machine). That said, SR Allen, JR Hennigan, JR Whitford and JR Veneman did not start. Mid-week game here in Myrtle, so mixing folks in makes sense. I think JB is still tinkering with who can play and where. SR Cochran pitched well without much defensive support. Glenbard scored 3 in the 6th and at least 1 of those runs was unearned. Of the 1st 3 runs he allowed in the 1st 5 innings, at least 2 of them were unearned. Good velocity. Nice location. Good breaking ball. Birds started the game by manufacturing a run via HBP, SB, SAC bunt & infield grounder. If they don't get the bats going, they will need to pitch, play defense and plate runs this way. Pitching has been very good so far. Defense has been lacking, but will get better. Hitting is the key question. Back at it today against Ashland at Noon. (Feels like the football playoffs down here!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
