Final from Ft Thomas

 

Highlands and Cooper went back and forth. HHS had a 6-4 lead going into the 7th when Cooper had 6 players cross the plate to win 10-6.

Nice comeback for the Jags! Who pitched for both teams?

If I'm correct Cochran started, they brought in a lefty and finished with Vermeil. If I'm mistaken Birds my apologies. Jags started Chris Decker, then brought in Alex Simpson and finished with Jordan Biddle. All 3 Jags pitchers pitched very well and had solid defense behind them. Coach Collins went with the boys that played JV last season and all 3 proved to be solid on the bump. Once again all 3 boys did very well, but Alex Simpson stood out to me in this one. Good movement on the fastball and had a little breaking ball he would throw up there every once in a while. I really liked his approach to the game and the Highlands atmosphere. People turn out there to see their Birds battle consistently.

Actually I think it was Martin that started and not Cochran! A Bird will have to confirm this! :popcorn:

Joe Martin started, lefty was Jacob Noe.

Thanks tbird!

 

Joe Martin started, lefty was Jacob Noe.

JR Martin started, SR Vermeil relieved and JR Noe finished. Overall, too many free passes leading to too many runs. Key error by HHS 2B w/ 2 outs allowed in 3 or so runs prior to the 6 run 7th by Jags.
