Wow, what a game. Ballard doesn't pitch their # 1 and look what happens. X pitched Mosby and held the Bruins at bay. Too many errors killed Ballard. Well, Eastern and X will be a dandy on 5/28.

Then, only down 5-1 they bring in Bugh who hadn't warmed up? Why wasn't McCombs getting lose in the bullpen when the game was still within reach?

McCombs did not pitch? WOW.

hmmm, darn good win for X. X/Eastern will be fun...

11 X hits and 6 Bruin errors proved to be too much to overcome for Ballard. Ballard struck early going up 1-0 nothing and then I heard had 3 errors in the bottom of the 1st. One to allow Sweeney to get on and then I heard the catcher made a bad throw on the steal and the CF missed the ball as well. X would score 3 more in the 3rd or 4th off a couple hits and some errors going up 4-1.

 

X's bats exploded in the bottom of the 5th. Ryan Cline ropes a double down the left field line to start the rally followed by several X hits. Cline would come up again in the inning and hit a walk off double to right field line to score Kal Scheler from 2nd.

 

Ballard had a rough day in the field, but even without the errors, Moesby pitched well and X proved to be too much for Ballard to handle. X played a pretty solid game overall.

 

Now they have to focus on Eastern tomorrow night. Eastern will be looking to take X to the woodshed tomorrow night. They will be looking to avenge a regular season loss to X's sophomores and hand full of juniors. According to some people around UofL today Eastern ran for almost a half hour after their game with Whitefield Academy after what I am guessing is a sub-par performance. If X comes out and hits the ball well, Amlung pitches well, and X plays solid D, then I look for X to move on into the 7th region championship.

 

GOod Job by the Tigers, stay focused and fight to play another day.:thumb:
