Have to say the the Left side of the infield for Beechwood is pretty good. That would be Josh Bertke and Zach Larimore, both Sohomores.

I ask you the same question, I believe that if either team posts their schedule it shows up on the KHSAA Site, so why hasn't it been posted by Cov. Cath.?

The shortstop for Beechwood is Zach Larimore. This was a great game to watch.

Game 1: Beechwood 5 Whitefield Academy 0 Josh Bertke and AJ Smith combined for a no hitter. Josh pitched 5 innings facing only 17 batters, no walks and striking out 9. 2 batters reached on errors. AJ finished the last 2 innings striking out 3. Many of the Tigers had hits to score their 5 runs. Game 2: Beechwood 7 Whitefield Academy 0 Beechwood played Whitefield again on Friday, after a rain out on Friday one of the other teams had to leave. AJ Smith gets the win, with Nate Snyder providing the relief. They combined for only a 4 hitter. Beechwood offense led by Zach Larimore 2-3, Chas Hyde hit safely in his 4th straight game, Josh Bertke hit his second HR of the year. Game 3: Beechwood 3 Paintsville 4 Beechwood could only manage 3 runs on 5 hits and left 8 runners on base. Chas Hyde hit safely in his 5th straight game. Nate Snyder was 2-2 at the plate. Zach Larimore and Nate Snyder both pitched well, however Paintsville also hit the ball well.

Josh Bertke gets his Second win (2-0) he throws 5 no hit innings, striking out 9. AJ Smith closes it out ( I guess his ankle is OK) I heard Chas Hyde was 3-4 at the plate, with a couple of stolen bases.

Final Score from Tuesday.

Three games were played on the new field at Beechwood today.

Did Conner pitch the whole game? How many pitches did he throw? Just courious with him just coming out of basketball season.

This is correct, Beechwood stoped running and only advanced 1 base at a time. I believe Coach Myerhoff showed complete respect to Coach Brown.

Congrats to Dayton, Coach Hamilton is a great baseball guy.

Just curious, who is better than Smith?????

Sorry guess this is the wrong thread, I think he is a Junior.

What about a player named Hensley, did not hear much of him last year, will he be able to help in 09. Thought he threw the ball pretty well a couple of years ago.

Why not use Football as a model If a school is 1A or 2A in Football they would be 1A in Baseball 3A and 4A = 2A in Baseball 5A and 6A = 3A in Baseball

I Think 3 classes in baseball would be a great thing.

I believe they all had their share of Varsity time this past season.

It has already been played. The "All A State tournament is Today at Gibson Bay in Richmond, I believe Walton Verona is there representing the 8th region

I don't think Leeke is a pitcher, but will probably start in Center Field.

Parker Adams, Josh Bertke, and Drew Kinmon, are all playing great for Beechwood.

How about AJ Smith from Beechwood.

Viewed the 16u roster on another thread. Wow 20 players. will there be enough playing time, especially for 3 catchers. Did they keep players just as pitchers only.

A select team means that exactly. The coach selects his players for whatever reason. Maybe some players are more coachable or have more heart or passion. Maybe they want to make them better for their high school program. Therefore the best players might not always be picked out of a tryout situation.

That is the correct, it is a team formation. There are always numerous reasons why a team is started.

Seems to me that would be a smart thing to do. Isn't that the high school coaches job is to ensure that his school program gets better.
