Through 4 innings Ryle was leading 6-0 and kept the Cooper bats quiet. Cooper scores 2 in the bottom of the 5th as the bats looked like they were warming up make it 6-2. Ryle comes back in the top of the 6th and scores 1 to make it 7-2. In the bottom of the 6 the Cooper bats really fired up and scored 7 in the bottom of the 6th. Ryle didn't recover and loses 9-7. Forbes really scorched the ball tonight and stood out, IMO, against the Cooper Pitching. Cooper had a lot of contributors hitting in the last 3 innings. Extra base hits came from Holland, Lawhorn and Dunn. McMahan comes in to get the W and hold the Raiders off.

Cooper's poise is much better this year. The rust is coming off the bats and hit some balls very hard. Dunn hits well to all fields and Holland cranked a shot, they are hitting their stride at the right time.

This was not a district game, correct?

No I believe their district seed game was last Thursday (May 1) when Ryle won 10-0.

I heard Ryle had 1/2 their starting lineup sitting...

When? And I'm not sure the point you are trying to make as it relates to my post?

I can't say if half their starters were sitting or not but know their studs were playing, Mason, Tom, Colt was DH etc. With that said Cooper did have some starters sitting.

 

Not sure why that makes any difference though seeing how games throughout the season several different players play for every team while others sit.

 

With that said, this was a nice week for the Jaguars. Beating Cov Cath (Ranked #6 in the state) 1-0 and then following that up with beating St Henry by scoring 13 runs before the first out was recorded in the 1st inning and finishing the 1st with 16 runs. Then making a nice come from behind win against Ryle yesterday which was the first time in school history they were able to beat Ryle. So this season alone they have beaten a couple teams they have never beaten before in their district which is nice.
