Can anybody recap the four games these boys are playing this weekend? There are some talented teams down there this weekend. I wish I could have gone.

Nice effort by the Roosters.

Game #1 was a loss to a Knoxville Eagle team. Roosters looked like they were still sitting in the cars from the 5 hour drive

 

Game #2 was a 3-1 victory over the Dulin Dodgers

 

Game #3 was a 6-2 victory over the Music City Classics

 

Game #4 was a victory over the Dulin Dodgers 6-2

 

Overall, they came away with the best record from the showcase 3-1

 

Good effort overall... The more they played together, the better they looked.

I heard Lankheit met with the Tenn. Tech head coach after one of the games. I haven't seen Addison Brown play, but heard he is one to watch this year as well. I know the boys are looking forward to playing at EKU next week, should be fun.

All of the teams that played in this showcase were very strong teams. 1 from memphis, 1 from Nashville, 1 from Knoxville, and 1 from Northern Kentucky.

 

 

One the hump:

 

Game #1: Smith 4IP? (Beechwood) Smiley 3IP? (Conner)

Defense didn't help them and the sticks weren't awake. lost 10-2 in an all around ugly game. You could tell it was the first time the guys had played together (communication) and they just weren't ready to play. Bats were slow and defense was lacks. Probably 6 unearned runs....

But the sign of a good team is being able to rebound from a game like this (see below)

 

Game #2: Barrackman (sp) 7IP (Boone)

Defense did much better and the game was tight throughout. Barrackman probably struck out 8-9 3-1 win

 

Game #3: Brown 5IP (Lloyd) Lankeit 1IP (Cov Cath)

Game was tight until the 5th inning (2-1, I think). Brown had 4-5 K's. I think Brown gave up 1 unearned run in the 4th and Lankeit gave up 1 unearned run in the 6th. 6-2 win

 

Game #4: Gann 4IP (Boone) Teegarden 2IP (Boone)

Again, game was tight for the first 4 innings. I think it was 2-2 after 4 innings, but the Roosters middle of the lineup got some key hits and stretched the lead in the 4th/5th. 6-2 win

 

Pitching was pretty strong for the fall showcase. All teams had quality on the mound, but I'd say the Roosters had the most consistent group.

 

Hitting-wise, it was a wood bat tourney, so no one hit any out of Tennessee Tech field, but there were a lot of solid shots.

My guess is that was the first time Lankheit has pitched since his freshman year.

Whatever happened to all those Roosters that were going to play college ball next year....................

 

Where did Cottingham end up?

Sexton?

Dylan is at Spaulding in Louisville.

 

I believe Sexton is at a community college.
