Game is being played at Owen. How do you think it will turn out?

Well, it would appear Shelby would be favored to win. However, you just never know until the kids hit the field. Both teams have good talent. Owen may have a bit more experienced pitching. However, I hear Shelby will be very sharp defensively. Shelby will also be expecting huge contributions from senior and UofL signee Jarred Clarkson. It should be a very competitive game.

How did it go?

Shelby 11 Owen 3

How did it go?

 

The score was actually 14-3. Tyler Tipton and Eric Standafer homered for Shelby. Owen's pitchers struggled a bit with control. However, they threw several pitchers as did Shelby. Owen just looked a bit rusty. I think they are certainly better than they what they showed tonight. Too early to make any sort of season predictions.

Actually the score was tied 3-3 in the 5th inning, and Owens coach pulled the starters and put the JV team in. He also replaced Neeley on the mound with a sophomore. Owens first pitcher struggled a little early, but Neeley looked solid to me(2 innings, no hits, no walks, 2 k's, one of them being the Clarkson kid) I was curious to how he would perform from the stretch but he never made it there. And Jordan Cox for Owen also went yard in the Third.

:thumb:Owen will be dangerous this year!

Sounds like Owen has some solid front line pitching. Good luck this season.

How was Neeley's velocity? I've heard he's got some pop at times.

Shelby was obviously the better team in this game.

Shelby was so much better that it was 3-3 after 5 innings. Why say such a ridiculous statement? Or was it not 3-3 as reported on here?

Shelby didnt throw all of their best pitching like owen went out and did, and it was obvious if anyone was there to see the game, that shelby hit the ball much better. The box score would definately prove that. I only can remember 3 hits owen got all game.

Gambel or Layton for Owen Co. didn't even play. They are 2 of the best pitchers on the team. IMO the best hitters as well based on last years stats.

Both teams have basketball players that will have a positive impacts. It was a typical scrimmage in which both teams threw numerous pitchers and with the exception of 3 homers (2 for Shelby and 1 for Owen) the hitting was rather rusty. Shelby threw nearly every varsity pitcher. Only the starting pitcher threw 2 innings. Everyone else threw one inning only. Take away the unearned runs and the score is 7-3. Both teams show a lot of potential. Would like to see them play again later in the season. Not sure if they play each other or not this season.

I was at the game. The Score was 3-3 after 5 innings. Owen had a few more hits than 3, but not many more. Neeley and Harris doubled and Cox homered, but besides that no other big hits from Owen. Shelby's only big hits while the starters were in were homers. They didnt touch Neeley.
