The Lady Birds are on a mini roll besting the Colonels 9-4 under the lights tonight at Dixie. Very nice field by the way and well taken care of. Bailey Spencer had a nice homecoming striking out 5 against 1 walk and 1 earned run. She had a one hitter going into the fifth giving up 6 more over the last three frames. Dixie plated one in the 6th and three more in the 7th. Both pitchers (Garrett, Dixie) were dealing strikes as there was only the one walk in the game.

 

The bats were alive tonight for HHS, pounding out 17 hits. Graybill went 3-5 adding a double and another blast to center for her fourth game with a HR in a row with 3 rbis. Fornash continued her hot streak going 3-4 with 2 stolen bases and a double. Dutcher tried to match Shelby but came up a few feet short but added a triple and another shot caught on the warning track. She went 2-3 with a HBP and 2 rbis. Spencer, H. Coffey and Daley all went 2-4 with Coffey picking up a triple.

 

HHS 9 17 2

Dixie 4 7 2

 

Bailey Spencer got a warm welcome by the Dixie Coaches and her former teammates and it was nice to see. BUT not so much from the classless announcer, who announced every player on both teams by their FIRST and Last name with the exception of Bailey and toward the end would not announce her at all. We should have been prepared for that as he acted similarly at the Pete Noll a couple years ago. You have to expect announcers to be homers and they should be to an extent, but to single out one High School player and act that way toward them is really childish. Someone actually said he was an elected official... Sorry for the folks in whatever district he is in....

What's up with that......I would hope it was a just an inside joke or something. Really hope it was not intentional.

You got me. It surely wasn't an inside joke to the parents. I wasn't paying much attention to it tonight as I was on the book but I was there at the Pete Noll and his actions didn't surprise me after that. It didn't seem to have an effect on Bailey as she had her tunnel vision on tonight and hitting her spots. Wouldn't even have mentioned it if it wasn't the buzz when I went to the stands after the game about how obvious he was making it.

Sounds intentional, especially if a similar situation happened at the Pete Noll tournament. And you would also think that someone that was elected would hold themselves to a higher standard. Nice to see that 15 and 16 year old girls that were her former teammates, understand class. I am sure they did not learn it from the announcer. Stay classy San Diego!! (Ron Burgandy)

I must clarify something. He was not announcing during the Pete Noll... Just mouthing off to the parents and touting that he was some kind of judge or something. One of our parents video taped the whole thing as it was quite ridiculous. Just got to love politicians...

So what elected official are we talking about here?

What an embarrassment for Dixie.

I know the name but I think he may have a relative on the Dixie squad so I don't think it's necessary to bring the name in.

.............back to the ballgame. LOL

LOL sounds like Bailey got last laugh

I'm with ya... Birds take on Holy Cross tonight at their place and then welcome Johnson Central and Turpin (OH) tomorrow to the Bird Cage which begins another tough part of the schedule having the Pandas and Cougars on the schedule next week. Prepping for that potential rematch in the districts with our foes on

the "Hill". Not looking past the other district foes at all as we have to get there first.

Bailey was locked in. Considering the erratic zone for both teams, both pitchers did well. HHS speed (not including my DD) made a big difference getting an extra at bat or two each inning. There were not many cheap hits last night by either team as the pitchers had, for the most part, a small zone to work with.

The famous "you don't know who I am" & "your in my county" video is still on an old computer somewhere.

I must throw in that it's bad when you go 3-5 with a double and a dinger and your BA drops a point or two. That SLG % keeps climbing though... Keep pounding it Thumper...

Where's the school admiration/official for softball games to handle issues like this? It's mandatory that someone attend, is it not? Oh I'm sorry...this is not football or basketball.
