Pike Central 8 Letcher Central 6

[HighHopes]

Poorly played game defensively. The LCC bunch kept bunting and PCC bunch kept kicking and throwing it all over the yard. Tyler Smith got the win in relief and Justin King picked up a 2 1/3 inning save. At the plate, Pike Central had Eric Thompson go 3-for-3, Jeremy Lucas go 3-for-4, and Jarrod Thacker go 2-for-2. Both teams should improve, but it wasn't very pretty in this one.

Why did LCC bunt so much? How much did they bunt it?

How is Tyler Smith looking so far, very nice player, but has been bit hard by the injury bug throughout his career. I fhe stays healthy he can put up some large numbers, hopefully his arm is okay after suffering that devasting injury last season, has he lost a step because of this? Or is he still in form?

 

On another note, good win for PCC. This early in the season, games are going to be sloppy on the defensive end, you just have to find a way to fight through and get the win, looks like the Hawks did this.

 

How did LCC look? For some reason it takes about mid season for a new school like this to get clicking, lot of talent, but it just seems to take a while to gel. Happened to East Ridge in their first season, slow to start off with, but with all the talent ended up being a top 5 team by the end of the season. I look for Letcher Central to be the same way.

Looks like Letcher played close in this one. Not surprised though I'm sure they can put a good team together over there.

Yea there was many errors in this game, But besides one inning when Pcc scored 7 runs LCC played pretty good.But as far as the bunting, on the offensive side it looked good but PCC was throwing the ball everywhere.
