The middle school team lost a lot of players also in last couple of years. When you lose players from the lower grades it really hurts the high school.
Scoring on the error and not a hit was questionable. The LF ran at least 45 ft. to get to it. Thats a long run for an error. The game was at Ashland the home team usually gets the breaks on scoring.
You must not listen to them during the game. A player in the 16th this year was checking in looked into the stands to tell her mother to stop yelling at the refs. The players are the ones acting like adults.
