That's not a fact.

 

Who did Cumberland beat, that was the first score for them in this tournament I saw on KHSAA?

The KHSAA site isn't very accurate in baseball. What kind of tournament would force a team to play two more games than another team to make it to the semifinals?

 

Cumberland defeated Red Bird.

Williamsburg defeated Middlesboro Monday night 8-7. The game went 10 innings and began over an 1 1/2hr. late due to the fact that the umpires went to Middlesboro instead of Williamsburg and had to make the trip back to Williamsburg. The game ended a little after 11:00. Williamsburg played Harlan in Harlan on Tuesday night and defeated the Green Dragons 11-5. The game against Cumberland was their 3rd. The team was tired but that was not the reason they lost this game. Williamsburg pitched 2 pitchers that although are good, solid players did not have any experience this year pitching from the mound. I do not understand why, with the 2 starting pitchers available to pitch, the coaching staff choose who they did to pitch this game. I think that the game would have had a much different outcome had different pitchers been used.

I don't think HDE was questioning if Williamsburg played three games. He knew that. He was saying it was Williamsburg's third game and Cumberland's second, not first, as was stated earlier.

That's correct. Thanks.

Maybe the coach wanted to protect their arms.:irked: They pitched Monday night, so Thursday would have been too early in my opinion to throw them again.........probably would have thrown them some Friday if the game was played then.

I considered that possibility but Shelley only went 5 innings on Monday and although he threw alot of pitches I was told that he has thrown previously with only a couple of days rest. He hadn't pitched for several days prior to Mondays game and only went 5 innings then. I know that we can only guess what the coaching strategy was against Cumberland and there's a possibility that Williamsburg would have lost regardless, it's just frustrating and a bit sad for the seniors on the team to miss out on another trip to Applebees when throwing Shelley or Barton might have made the diffference the game. Nothing against Lynn Camp or Barbourville but I think that Cumberland is a stronger team and the coaches might have been able to get by with pitching Teague or Moses Friday night.

well the challenges im referring to Phinneaus is that the kids arent excited to be there. i talked to coach stricklin before the season started and he admitted he missed the kids from last year. he has no leader and no one who knows how to get the team fired up ready to win one for the team. Wburg has always been interested in their batting averages and other stats

Let's give some credit here, maybe it's not what W'burg did wrong but what Cumberland did right and C'land just beat them...............:irked:

 

“Their pitcher pitched a real good game,” Williamsburg coach Don Stricklin said. “He was off-speed, and we were guessing because we were swinging at bad pitches. When we did hit the ball, we hit it right at somebody and they made the plays.”
