They ended up playing nine on a cold day and Ryle played well and Brossart looked good at times. I believe the final was 10-4. You can't tell a whole lot from a first game scrimmage but it seemed both teams played everyone and Ryle looked a little deeper.

 

It was nice to finally see baseball, Ryle looked pretty good. Charlie Lovan and Joe Renda both turned in nice performances on the mound. And Luke Leatherbee and Renda made an outstanding force play at third base on a diving stop in the hole by Luke and a diving tag by Renda with the bases loaded to kill the only serious Brossart threat. I stand by my claim that Leatherbee is the best defensive shortstop in NKY. Ryle hit the ball okay, Kyle O'Hara was 3-3 with a triple and Cory Rieder had 2 hits as well.

Owen Co. beat S. Oldham today 4-3. Got some good pitching from Ogden, Cox, Layton and Neeley. Owen's JV did OK as well with good pitching from Osborne, Towles and 6th grader Jarod Ball.

Watched Lovan for an inning. Pretty impressive, especially given he really didn't get much time at all last year. I'd say Ryle will certainly have depth in the staff this year.
