When you say Smith was blowing it by NCC hitters, with what velocity was he doing so?

Didn't make a difference. AJ Smith was overpowering.

 

I just spoke to Jeramie Connor's father and he agreed that AJ threw the ball very well in this game. I didn't see a thread on the NCC/Lloyd game from earlier in the day, but I understand NCC won 2-0.

NCC did beat Lloyd, 2-0.

 

They played 2 innings on Monday with NCC leading 2-0 before being delayed because of lightning then it got postponed to be resumed at a later date. That date was yesterday.

 

NCC scored their first run in the 1st inning on a play where two errors were made on a stolen base attempt and the runner came all the way around to score. The second run scored in the 2nd inning came after NCC had a runner on second with 1 out. There was a wild pitch to advance the runner to 3rd then an RBI groundout to first to score the run before a popout got Lloyd out of the inning.

 

The final 5 innings were played in under an hour yesterday. Connor and Dylan McGuire were both pitched well. Lloyd loaded the bases in the 3rd inning with 1 out and could not get the big hit to push a run or two across. It was a very intense and competitive game. In the end, NCC capitalized on some mistakes while Lloyd did not.

I would say high 80's maybe 90.

Low to mid 80's

I am guessing you were not at the game. :laugh: He blew away every hitter and I am pretty sure he struck out every batter in the line up atleast once. :thumb:

No he didn't strikeout everyone in the lineup and yes I was there. He did throw very well, but not 90's.

Anyone see a radar gun or is this everyone's opinion? :confused:

He did touch 90 at least once or twice and he blew right through There lineup!

Hmm, well I guess that means that Jeramie Conner was throwing 90 mph against Lloyd since he was throwing it right by them. I wasn't aware thats what designated someone throwing 90.

Quite a feat by Smith. No-hitting the defending 9th region champions is impressive and something to always remember. Congrats to this young man and best of luck to him in the future!

NCC did have an infield hit in the last inning but Smith did pitch a great game. Tough to hit at night against a good pitcher this early in the season.

Are you saying it was not a no-hitter? Either way still congrats to AJ.

I checked with both of the coaches and that grounder to the third basemen was an error. I knew coming into the game Jeremy Conner was hitting the ball very well, but he really struggled it looked like tonight with A.J.'s speed.
