Final from Vero Beach FL. In a battle of top 10 teams, Greenup pull`s out the 8-4 win over West Jessamine. West had a 3-1 lead till the top of the 5th , when GC was able to score 4. Then add 3 more over the last 2 inn`s, to hold on to the 8-4 win. Really nice win for Greenup, who moves to 11-0 on the season.

Very nice win by Greenup. Greenup plays Johnson Central tomorrow afternoon before rounding out their final game against McDowell, PA on Saturday. McDowell beat beat JC in 8 innings this morning in a mistake ridden game by the Eagles. Not sure who either team will send to the hill since it is being played so late in the tournament. Best of luck to both teams tomorrow.

Greenup beat McDowell in there 1st game down there, I didn't post because I got sent 2 different scores... lol I couldn't make the trip , but I have herd GC is hitting really well, Triston Downing pitched a gem vs West Jess. GC "D" is still not up to par, and a few Pitchers are getting better. The pore "D" is the biggest problem, so far. Both Johnson Cent, and McDowell (Pa) should be good games. I know Gage Hughes didn't play 1st game vs McDowell (Pa). GC does have a really deep staff , should really help. Greenup`s best ball is still to come, the (Coach`s) Logan`s do a great job. This tripe and the tuff game`s is what GC has really needed, really haven't been tested till now. West Jess is top 5 in most polls, with JC and PRP in top 30. Good trip, good team`s.

I agree with the fielding aspect. JC is hitting the ball much better thanks to the addition of Shane Simpkins as a coach and players maturing from the previous year. They are much deeper with their arms so that keeps them in games when their sticks aren't in sync but booting routine plays has cost them a couple of games thus far. I really like this Greenup Co. team though and if they can correct the fielding miscues it would not surprise me a bit to see them hoist the championship trophy this summer.

After the final 4 last year, winning it all would be great. But very tuff to do, Takes great team play, and a little luck some times. I messed up GC played a team from Colorado 1st game and won 10-2... All so, sorry to hear about the young man from JC, (RIP) way to early. From me and my family( GC baseball #13)

Thank you very much. The young man that pitched against you all down there was really tight with Luke. Luke was on the baseball team but decided to focus full time on working to earn the starting QB spot this season about the week before spring break. The varsity was informed about the tragic incident about two hours before the first pitch Friday. With heavy hearts they just didn't have enough to pull out the win against your solid team. Congratulations on the victory and best of luck to you all the rest of the way.

That had to be hard for the team and pitcher. A lose of a friend at any age is tuff, must be a good bunch of kids to still be able to play well. I think we play again , I`m sure it will be a good one. I hope all is as well ,as it can be. And if the kids need someone, hopefully they have someone to turn too. From what I understand JC has very good teams in all sports, so that mean`s good coaches . That goes a long way , in a time of need. Good luck to you guy`s also.
