I saw on Twitter that Madison Central beat the Birds 5-3.

 

I then saw they beat Conner as well.

 

Were both games played at the same field?

No MC played at Highland park and then bussed over to Conner. They're supposed to come back tomorrow afternoon and play Cov Cath and Ryle (weather permitting).

Game was well played by both squads. Birds scored 2 in the first and added another on a Whitford HR in the 3rd inning

 

MC scored all 5 of their runs in the 5th inning.

Who took the loss for the Birds?

Quality matchup - the kind of game that serves as a measuring stick for June.

The MC and Conner game was played at SK, and MC handed it to the Cougars pretty good 13-2.

Pitching Matchup was Jones for the Birds and Holbrook for the Indians. Was told by a MC player that Holbrook was their # 1 or 2 starter.

 

Totals bear out that this was a very even game.

 

Madison Central 5 4 1

Highlands 3 7 1

 

Birds were a little unlucky in the top of the 5th when, with the bases loaded and 2 runs already in for MC, a sharply hit ball to SS which would have been most certainly a double play, took a wicked hop and hit Todd Ramey in the throat, allowing MC to take the lead 4-3. Ramey showed me the stitches on his neck after the game.

 

MC is solid and made several nice defensive plays. They aren't ranked #5 in Ky for nothing. With their win over Conner I think they are 18-4 now.

 

Two very good teams. Kuddos to Coach B for scheduling this game. It will help get the Birds' ready for the post season.

Where was Whitford playing? Had no idea Ramey played SS.

2nd base.

 

The umpire called the runner safe. This was one of the 5 outs the Birds had to record in the 5th inning.

That explains why I saw all those buses at SK. I was there for the NewCath/SK frosh softball games.

 

Does Conner still have that player with the long hair? When I arrived for the softball games, has I pulled into the lot I noticed a player taking fly-balls with some long locks. Kind of reminded me of myself from my softball days, but I had more curl in mine. :lol2:
