Guys who really cares about the wind blowing that is part of the game. I am pretty sure that in the Majors the wind blows harder some days than others. They don't say well the wind was blowing so that homerun would have been an out under certain conditions. It still counts so let's get over it and go on, a great game last night between 2 teams that to me are mirror images of each other.

I'm not sure what you mean by saying any other day this game would be over in 5. Both teams pitchers did an exceptional job and it was very hard to pitch with the wind. Overall it was a great game played by both teams and it was a battle until the end. Both teams were down at one point or another and battled back. 8 homeruns in a high school district game is just unbelieveable. Most of the balls hit last night would have normally been routine fly balls but witht he wind, they became homeruns. This was an outstanding hitting game even if the wind was blowing. I think without the homeruns Brossart wins 6-4. That's baseball. Each team showed a lot of heart and it's a shame that one team had to win.

 

How about this Bishop Brossart team? The progress that they made throughout the year is amazing. This is a team who graduated 8 seniors from last years team and 7 of those 8 seniors started every game. This team returned 3 guys from the Varsity squad last year and those 3 were the only players who had an experience on the Varsity level. At the beginning of this year nobody expected this team to even have anywhere close to 20 wins with the schedule being just as hard as it was last year. They had to replace the whole pitching staff and the whole lineup and when that happens it is very hard for a team to compete. Most people said this team is too young, and won't be any good, they lost too much from last year, but these guys never used any of that as an excuse. They worked hard all year and absolutely got to the point where they were competing in every game they played in. Of course they had some bad games early on but look at their games late in the season and you will see how much better they got. Especially in the month of May.

 

April 21 - Newport Central Catholic L 5-3

April 22 - Bellevue W 4-2

May 6 - Covington Catholic L 10-0 (They were down 2-0 in the 5th before a couple of errors killed them)

May 7 - Mason County W 10-0

May 10 - Clark County W 10-4

May 12 - Boone County L 9-4 (Farris had 2 HR and 5 RBI)

May 13 - Harrison County W 9-4

May 17 - Beechwood L 7-5 (Game was tied 5-5 in the 7th)

May 22 - Scott (District Tourn.) L 15-14

 

Like I said this team just never gave up. If there was an award to most improved team in Northen Ky this year i would say Bishop Brossart has to be the winner. The things that this team did with such little experience is simply amazing. Throughout the whole year they never got any recognition and they absolutely deserved some. Coach Rowe also has to be one of the best coaches in the State of Kentucky. The way he develops his teams year after year and with the few kids he has because of Brossart being such a small school is outstanding. Congrats to the Scott Eagles but most of all congratulations to the Brossart Mustangs. Yoou boys have nothing to hang your heads about. You all had a great season. To the underclassmen, learn from this year and take it into next year and give it all you got. To the seniors you all had great careers and don't let anyone tell you any different.

 

 

Im saying the way Scott pitched they didn't deserve the win. Giving up more then 10 walks isn't good pitching.

I agree compeltly, but to say the wind wasn't a factor would be wrong.
