Perkins pitched for Lee, Smith for Owsley. I got to game at end, and apparently Owsley made several crucial errors, and only run they scored o Perkins was on throwing error he made himself, so unearned. Like I say these are just reports I got from others there, so other than score and who pitched, can't personally vouch for accuracy.

Lee is now 5-0, and has outscored opponents 54-6. Competition has not been the stiffest, but now that all a is over and if weather will cooperate, Lee can play some of the strong teams on schedule.

Errors have hurt the Owls in all 3 of their losses this year.

 

BadCat, what is the order of Lee County's pitching rotation? Where does Perkins rank? And is he the kid who pitched against Knott Central in the region last year as an 8th grader?

I am not sure about Knott County game, but it looks to me like you could put Perkins, Osbourne and Thomas in a sack, shake them up and not really be able to tell the difference. Josh Drake is next, he beat Cordia 9-1, and was probably who pitched against Knott last year, but again, not sure.

I believe it was Drake that pitched. Thomas came in in the 4th or 5th that game.

 

Good win for the Bobcats. :thumb:

Pat Dad, any chance Saturdays game can will be made up?

Not that it's important now, but why would Lee County pitch their # 4 pitcher, and an 8th grader at that, in the first game of the regional tournament?

Don't know, but I am sure Coach Combs had good reason. I would guess saving top pitcher for deeper in tourney? Again I would not ever second guess any decision Gene makes. He has proven conclusively he knows more than me.

I hope so. KCC has a couple of dates open. Not sure what they are.

 

After losing to LCC tonight and Leslie last night, we need a break. KCC has tomorrow off.

You know, I'm in 100% agreement with that statement. He must have had his reasons, but the plan sure didn't work out.

BTW, did Bowling play tonight? If so, how was his arm?

I wasn't at the game, but I talked to the players before they loaded on the bus and they said he was going to catch tonight. They said his arm was sore, like a strained muscle, but he should be able to play. Whether he played or not, I'm not sure. maybe BadCat can tell us.

Thanks. I hope his arm is OK.

Lets hope so...i would hate to see a player of his caliber have to set out games his senior year.

I dont know either. I got to game just as it was over, and didn't even walk around the outfield fence. I hope so, as Professor knows even though I am a big Lee County fan, I play around golf course with a bunch of Owsley's kids and sure don't want any misfortune for any of them.

Bowling did play for Owsley Behind the plate. Owsley made several errors that in the end di cost the game... Lee Co. hit the ball well as always but the game would have been A LOT CLOSER without the errors.
