Anyone in Ashland this weekend watching, I hear there are 8 teams from around the state playing in the double elimination tournament. The Mustangs team that won the 16u USSSA state is playing there as the Danville Legion team. Heard from people there that they beat Oldham Co. 14-13 and then Bowling Green 14-3. Are they the team to beat? Any info on the other teams?

Shelby got beat by Ashland 6-2.

How did Ashland look? Are they the team to beat? They are usually really good every year at the Jr. and Sr. levels for American Legion. Ashland plays Morehead this morning, with the winner playing Danville tonight.

Danville beat Ashland 8-0 last night in the winners bracket championship game. Heard the Cinnamon (?) kid was throwing upper 80's and struck out like 18 batters. Danville also has scored 36 runs in their 3 games. Is there much pitching at the tournament or can this team really hit like that? What highschool do their kids play at?

Went down and watch Shelby play tri-county at 12 and shelby came back to win in 9 innings. Shelby has a great and griddie ball team. After that they had to play Ashland. Ashland got on top early but Shelby got back in the game and took the lead going into the 7th. Down by 3 Ashland got a runner on and the announcer started playing muic like it was NBA game during the plays (low class). Shelby's coach went and ask the umpire to get it cut off and he said something to them and they stopped then a hit and music come back on. Never have seen such low class people in my life at a tournament that they were hosting. Quess what SHELBY BEAT THEM AND THEN THEY WOULD NOT EVEN PLAY SOMETHING FOR THE VICTORY! Carma is good thing. It is a very nice park and would love to go back. Shelby plays Danville Monday at 11 for the championship and have to beat 2 games.

Are you kidding me? All the announcer was doing was announcing the kids names who were coming to bat. Some people take offense at the strangest things. So it is low class now to announce a batters name in a baseball game in something other than a monotone way. Now batting Josh PANCAKE! Oops cant do that.

As long as Danville is the closest legion team to the players then there is nothing wrong. They can draw players from all over the 11th and 12th regions.

Sounds like you was there. So you didn't hear the music playing as the kid was running around the bases. Also didn't see the coach ask the umpire to not play the music as the plays were happening. Also didn't see the umpire turn and tell the announcer to stop it during the pitches and plays. Well if you didn't see all that then I quess you was ok with everything. All I now is that It was a good tournament and for the host team to acted in the way was SAD! There were Ashland residents seating over with Shelby fans and they were upset that the Ashland announncer was acting so bad that they got up and left even before the game was over.

I did not see or notice any of that. There may of been a time the music was left on while the announcer left the pressbox but it was turned off when he got back. I don't think any of that steps up to the label "low class" so I guess we will have to disagree.

A couple are from Mercer County(Clay Cinnamon, Matthew Honchel,Colin Buckner), Garrard County(Jacob Fain), Lincoln County(Tre Owens), and Boyle County(Jacob Bodner).

 

Those are the only ones I know of for sure. They were listed in the Advocate Messenger.
