Playtowin29 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 In Highland's second game of the Triple, The Birds hosted 2014 15th Region winner Johnson Central HS out of Paintsville, KY. (Yes the same Johnson Central that got robbed in the State Tournament by inept umpires and temporary fences). JCHS 1 5 1 HHS 7 15 0 Again the bats were out in support of their pitcher Bailey Spencer, collecting 15 hits against 5 for the visitors. Spencer continued exhibiting her control allowing only one BB against 5 Ks. Rachell Gabbard made some stellar plays at second as not only was her bat hot this day but her glove as well... Doubles seemed to be the flavor of the day as the Birds pounded out 6 of them. Coffey 3-4, 2b 1 Rbi Gabbard 3-4 Dutcher 2-3, 2-2bs and 2 Rbis Graybill 2-4, 2b and 2 Rbis (This on an extremely hot day and having both games behind the dish) Quillen 2-4, 2b Dill 1-3, 2b The Birds hitting streak has driven the team BA to just shy of .400 with the Bash Sisters right around the .600 mark. What's been impressive has been the number of extra base hits this team has collected lately. The addition of Coffey to the line-up has added a new dimension as she is arguably the best base-runner on the team and finds a way to take the extra base to get in scoring position. The Bird's continue their Murderers Row week taking on Brossart, Ryle, NDA and Conner over the next 6 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack of all Trades Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 They call that getting ready for the postseason. Win or loss will not matter, but how you approach and play those games will go a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four King Crazy Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 No doubt birds are looking good! Hitting that stride at the right time of year. 2 impressive Wins yesterday's against good experienced teams with good pitching. Ohh had a chance to talk to a couple Johnson Central people yesterday and it didn't take much to discuss that play last year at state! By far the biggest injustice I have ever witnessed in sports!

AllenR Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 All of the coaches seemed like a good group of people. Hope we get to meet up with them again in Owensboro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
