You can pad the stats however you wish but when Darner was rounding second the ball was flying over the cut man's head. That's why I have to take all these stats with a little grain of salt.

 

Ironically, I was the team statistician when RD, Luke, and Isler were sophomores. :lol:

CovCath top of the 1st:

Nutini 8, Siemer hbp, Maile hits a ball to the third baseman (with the seat I had, I couldn't see if the first baseman didn't catch it, or if it was a bad throw) E-5or3 men on 1st and 3rd one out. Maile steals second base and the Beechwood catchers throw the ball into CF for a error that allows Siemer to score.

 

Beechwood 1st: K (1), K (2), 5-3 on 12 pitches.

 

CovCath leads after one complete inning 1-0 on a HBP and two Beechwood errors.

 

CovCath 2nd: Holocher walks, Lafever goes hbp, men on 1st and second no outs. Schlagbaum get a sac bunt down 1-3 moving the runners up while making the first out of the inning. Then the strange play of the game! Martin with a 2-2 count tries to lay down a bunt, but he misses the ball and the Beechwood catcher misses the called strike and Holocher comes in with the second run. It was a heads up play by the Holocher as the ball was not foul tipped so it was not a dead ball. The Beechwood coach tried to get the man in blue to change his mind, but from my seat next to the back stop I didn't hear the tip, nor did I see the ball change it's direction. The Beechwood catcher just missed the ball.

 

Beechwood 2nd: K (3), 9, 5-3 (14) pitches

 

After two complete innings it's CovCath 2 Beechwood 0 without CovCath getting a single hit in the game so far.

 

CovCath 3rd: Maile 4-3, Darner 6-3 and Isler 5-3

 

Beechwood 3rd: K (4), 3, 1 (6) pitches

 

After three complete it's still CovCath 2 Beechwood 0

 

CovCath 4th: Holocher hbp, Lafever sac bunt, moving Holocher to second with one out. Schlagbaum goes 3, and then Martin 3 to end the inning.

 

Beechwood 4th: K (5), K (6), K (7) (15) pitches

 

End of 4 complete innings it's still CovCath 2 Beechwood 0

 

CovCath 5th: Nutini tries to bunt but goes 2-3, Siemer hbp (in the head) Maile hits a single, runner on first and second with one out. Darner on a 0-2 count hits a shot over the Right Fielders head for a triple (5) and knocks in Siemer and Maile for 2 RBI's (55 & 56).

 

Beechwood 5th: Snyder gets a single, J. Colosimo gets a single but Larimore hits a ball to Holocher who steps on second and then throws the ball to Krumme for a DP. Snyder on third two outs, and Smith goes K (8) to end the innings (13) pitches.

 

End of 5 complete innings with CovCath 5 Beechwood 0

 

CovCath 6th: Schlagbaum 5-3 Martin walks, Nutini gets hbp, both more up on a WP, Siemer goes 5-3 and Maile 4 to end the inning.

 

Beechwood 6th 5-3, K (9), K (10) (12) pitches

 

End of 6 complete it's CovCath 5 Beechwood 0

 

CovCath 7th: Darner gets a double, Isler goes 5-3, Holocher K and Lafever goes 1-3.

 

Beechwood 7th: K (11), K (12) and 2 to end the game (10) pitches.

 

The good: Isler pitching WOW. As I stated UC gets the steal of the year in signing Ice. Darner continues to knock in the runs, and Holocher is playing outstanding in the field and at the plate.

 

The bad: Nothing at all.

 

The ugly: Sorry, but the Beechwood baseball field grass infield and the height of the grass. The Tigers took home field advantage to a new high by not cutting the grass in at least a couple of day's. Haven't seen grass this high on a baseball field in quite a while. It indeed had an effect on the game.

 

The CovCath hitting:

 

Nutini 4 PA and 2 hbp

Siemer 4 PA 2 runs scored and 2 hbp

Maile 4 PA 1 run scored 1 hit 1 sb and reached base via E-5or3

Darner 4 PA 1 run scored 2 hits double triple (5) and 2 rbi's (55 & 56)

Isler 4 PA and 2 k's

Holocher 4 PA 1 run scored 1 hit double 1 rbi 1 walk 1 k and 1 hbp

Lafever 3 PA 1 sac 1 k and 1 hbp

Schlagbaum 3 PA and 1 sac

Martin 3 PA 1 walk 1 k

 

CovCath pitching:

Isler (9-0)

82 pitches 7 complete innings 22 PA 2 hits 0 runs 0 earned runs 0 walks 12 k's

 

CovCath is now 27-3 and by beating Holmes, Cov Holy Cross and Beechwood earn the #1 seed in the 35th District Tournament starting on Monday May 18 @ CovCath.

 

CovCath next game is at #9 Lexington Catholic @ LexCath at 5:30pm Tuesday.

 

Does anyone have any details on the game?? :clap::notworthy:

Thank you, I really do enjoy doing it, as I know many who can't attend but do like knowing what went on during the games.

 

BTW from Ryan Ernst:

 

Smith, a Murray State recruit, allowed just five hits for Beechwood. But control problems plagued the hard-throwing right-hander. He hit six batters and walked two more. Siemer was hit twice, scoring both times. CovCath third baseman Ryan Darner provided the game's biggest hit, a two-run triple to right field in the fifth inning.

 

So now thats me, the former CovCath stats man, the CovCath current stats man and Ryan Ernst all saying it was a triple. :idunno::lol:

Triple or Double?? Come on were all Colonel brothers. Kudos to Beechwood's new field. Field is taking shape and a major upgrade. One suggestion maybe remove grass for infield.

 

Isler did a great job pitching. Darner hits again.

 

Beechwood pitcher struggled with control; but him and Isler had no hitters in the5th inning. I believe we sall the best two pitchers in NKY ; a shame Smith was wild.

I agree with the statement. Isler had everything working and Smith had to deal with diversity. Great pitching by both pitchers and hope to see them again in regionals, because Smith will more than likely be pitching for HC in the first round of districts. And if there is another pitcher better than these two in NKY, then I am in shock.

I didn't think CCH would score a lot off of Smith. Has Smith struggled with control this year or was it a one-time bad outing?

 

I certainly wouldn't want to face Smith in the tourney. Fortunately for CCH they will not have to in the districts.

Knowing Meyerhoff, if you can't throw strikes you won't pitch for him plain and simple so I'm sure it was just an off day for Smith.

I have heare from multiple people that Smith throws hard and when he has a good day, it's GOOD. But he struggles with control and often gets down on himself. Obviously his college coaches will fix that and he'll be good to go.

 

Good win for CovCath and I would def. say these are the 1 and 2 pitchers in NKY.
