CovCath 3 Scott 2

[Theoldguy]

CovCath 3 Scott (Kenton) 2 in one of the best HS games that I have seen this season.

 

Both teams pitchers Isler of CovCath, Adkins and #3 of Scott pitched some outstanding baseball tonight.

 

The #2 play of the game. With two outs and no one on in the top of the third Isler gets a base hit, and a pinch runner steal second base, Nutini then walks and VanSant with a 2-2 count hits a double scoring both CovCath runners to put CovCath up at the time 3-0

 

The biggest play of the game. Bottom of the sixth with the score 3-2 CovCath the first batter for Scott #11 draws a walk, and then #2 puts down a great bunt for a base hit. Men on 1st and 2nd with no outs for Scott. The next Scott batter #5 puts down a sac bunt moving both runner now to 2nd and 3rd, now with one out, and with Scotts number nine batter at the plate, CovCath throws a pitch out to see if the Eagles are trying to squeeze. With the count 1-1 the Eagles put on the squeeze but Isler throws it up and in tight and the Eagle batter misses on the bunt and CovCath gets the runner in a pickle and tags him out as the Eagle runner on second moves up to third. Now two outs and a 1-2 count on Scotts #9 batter. The next pitch is swung at and fouled off but on the next pitch Isler strikes out the batter for the third out of the inning.

How did Zac Adams do agaisnt Isler?

[BaseballIsLife]

Adams went 0-2 with 2 BBs against Isler.

 

Adams has been in a bit of slump lately going 1-7 with 5 BB in his last 12 at bats, hopefully he can breakout soon because the Eagles offense is stalling without him right now

Hopefully his stats aren't getting in his head?:irked:

I can honestly say that I can't believe that Zac Adams would ever allow his stats to go to his head. This young man is as down to earth for a kid his age, that I have ever had to pleasure to know. Zac is one of those hard working academic types of kids who doesn't need a baseball scholarship to attend college, his academic success at Scott and on the ACT will get him a free ride to most any college he wants to attend, be that the Ivy League or some such outstanding school of his choice. However saying that, Zac loves baseball and I am sure if the opportunity arose at the right school, that wouldn't allow baseball to get in the way of his academic dreams, he would play the game in a heart beat. Zac Adams, letting his stats go to his head? No way, no how..........not in a million, zillion years!!!
