Yes, I saw that on their web site about Smith getting Pitcher of the Week. He threw an excellent game against Asbury this past weekend. They split with Asbury winning 2 and losing 2. Then they won two against New River making them 9-20. They play Pikeville today.

The game against Pikeville was called after the 10th Inning due to darkness. ALC led the entire game and had a chance to win, but Pikeville was able to tie it late and force a 10th Inning. However, it does seem that ALC is playing a little better. They enter another conference series agains Indiana University SE starting Friday. Right now ALC is tied for 3rd in the KIAC and has a good chance to improve that if they can get a couple wins in this series.

I hope they keep it going. There are a bunch of great kids on this team that have worked hard.

They only have 1 senior as well. Fairly young with some real talent on the team. They need to pick it up and finish the season off strongly.

ALC lost both games on Friday to IUS on Friday giving them an overall record of 9-22 and a conference record of 2-4. They complete the 4 game series with IUS on Saturday.

Due to the rain ALC and IUS only played 1 game with ALC falling short making the 9-23 on the season and 2-9 in the conference. As of now they are in last place of the conference with one more conference series with Berea this coming weekend. They still have a shot at finishing 3rd in the conference. Today, they play Cumberland.

I made the trip to Pippa Passes today to see Alice Lloyd and Univ of the Cumberlands play.

 

UC won the varsity game but came I away with a positive impression of the ALC team and the program. They are a scrappy team and seem like a good bunch of young men.

 

Good luck ALC as you complete your 2008 schedule.:thumb:

Here is a typical excuse, but it is true. This is a very young team. They rely on freshmen and sophomores with only 1 senior and a small number of juniors on the team. This is a young team that really does have some talent. Hopefully this bunch can stick it out and proove the doubter wrong. ALC play again tomorrow on Wednesday against Bluefield. before entering their final conference series against Berea.

ALC seems to be young every year. They always have a large number of underclassmen that never seem to stick it out. They usually have 15 freshmen, and that class ends up at 3 or 4 when they are seniors. You have to be a pretty disciplined person to stick it out in Pippa Passes.
