Boyd pulls this one out with a 4 run 6th inning to defeat Cov Cath. Once again BC got great pitching from Greg Bowling and some timely hitting in the 6th inning.

Congrats to the Lions!

Who was on the hill for CCH?

I think I heard someone say Hall

No Hall on the team. I an't think of what name you might have heard. Thanks.

If I am not mistaken his number was 4 but can't remember name

4 is Niehaus who relieved last night. They do call him "House" so maybe that's what you heard.

Maybe, he was a righty who threw alot of junk ball pitches. He was very effective until the 6th inn as he held us to only 1 hit. He may have just ran out of gas, esp if he threw last night also.

House pitched the game and did an outstanding job. The timely hitting on the Lions part were a couple of bloop singles and infield singles and an error on the CovCath third baseman who aloud the winning run to score.

 

On a side note, young Isler threw for the first time in nearly a year today. He came in with a runner on first and third with one out. He got the first runner to pop up then the ground ball to third. Considering this was his first outing since having Tommy John surgery, he did great.

 

BTW congrats to the Boyd County on running an outstanding tourney. Love going to watch CovCath play there as the food is great, the field is a thing of beauty and enjoy talking with the Lion fans, and they even kept the rain away for most part.

 

Good luck the rest of the way Lions.....

If I'm not mistaken a couple of the hits were solid line drives, esp the one from Branham to tie it up. But oh well hits are hits and wins are wins. But you are correct, House did pitch very well as did our pitcher, Greg Bowling. This game was just a very enjoyable game to watch between 2 good teams.

Will agree, hits are hits.:thumb: Already looking forward to next year, if CovCath gets invited again.....

 

The reason I am so happy for Niehaus (House) is that this was his first start this season and longest outing of the season. He usually comes in and relieves like he did in the Friday night game an inning or two at a time. He will be the CovCath ace next year, great kid.......

Thanks to the people from Boyd Co. who hosted the tourney. Great place to watch a ball game, great food, and very friendly people. Thanks I enjoyed the past several years of coming to your house to play.

I too hope that Cov Cath is invited back next season. Seems like they always have a quality team, good coaching and good fans. Each game we play against each other is usually a good one.
