Birds drop a close one to The Chargers... Details when I get home

The Birds travel to East Bullit to take on the undefeated Chargers as part of their Tour of KY Spring Break week and give them their closest game of the season.

The Charger pitcher, Roby is the real deal and by far is the hardest thrower we have seen thus far. She held the Birds to 3 hits and struck out 9 against 3 walks. Spencer did well with no walks and 3 Ks and held BE to 7 hits on the evening.

 

The Birds struck first on a Coffey HBP, Spencer Sac Bunt, K, Dutcher single to Left scoring Coffey.

In the bottom of one, BE Maros bunt single, stole second, advanced on error to third and Sac fly to Dill. Renneison 2B and drove in by a Dahl 2B to Left

2-1 BE after one.

The Birds went down in order in the second as did the Chargers.

HHS 3rd K, GO, BB, GO

BE FO, FO, 1B, FO

2-1 after 3

HHS 3rd BB,, Fo, K M Coffey HBP, Runners advance on PB, but a K ended the threat

BE Dahl led off with a 2B, Goers Sac, GO, Hagen 1B scoring Dahl, Mudd ROE, Maros 1B scoring Hagan, K

4-1 after 4

nothing really until the 6th

HHS Dutcher BB, Gabbard 2B, Daley 1B scoring Dutcher, Pinch run for Daley and Gabbard, Grimm Sole second, Error by SS and Jansen Scores, K, K, K to end the inning

BE K, FO, GO

Score after 6 4-3 BE

 

In her seventh the Birds had their top of the order up but went GO, GO, GO to end the game

 

One thing I have noticed in these games... Every team we have played at this level does two things really well. They have a slapper or two and they execute bunts very, very well. The leadoff hitter for BE is an excellent Bunter and when you play for the bunt she just slaps it in the hole... Fun to watcher her.. Super fast BTW

 

Overall good outing except for the loss...

BE's pitcher is the real deal. She's been clocked at 64, she hits her spots well and is only a sophomore. She has verbaled to Louisville. By far the hardest thrower we've seen so far. And a great young lady as well. BE ordered 15 pizzas for the two teams to share after the contest and the two teams got to hang out and even had a dance contest!!!

Coached a few of these girls at BE. They are legit contenders if the Pitching can stay healthy. Leadoff might be fastest in the state. Took a few years of teaching her to slap but once she got it she is a very tough out. Just about all singles for her are doubles with her ability to steal. She is a table setter and the power in the lineup following her should make this team tough to keep off the scoreboard. Roby is a great pitcher with great stuff. Mix the 2 ingredients together and a championship is possible. Will need more than Roby on the mound in the long run and have to stay healthy.

You are not kidding on the pizzas. That is three large for sure between the two of you. I would have been more interested in seeing you two dance along with the coach.

That would be 3 large EACH!!!!!

 

If the coaches had to dance you could pitch a tent and proclaim the circus was in town. LOL
