SO Alex Venneman pitches a scoreless inning in relief. Birds are lead at the plate by SO Donnie Mills with 3 hits & 2 RBI, SO Brady Murray with 2 hits & 3 RBI, and SO Grayson Heck with 2 hits. Shout out to SO John Abner with pitch hit 2 RBI single in the 6th inning. Murphy started for the Crusaders. JV Birds travel to Louisville Saturday for a DH vs Trinity.

Amen Brother. HHS JV played at Boone yesterday and the wind was howling in from the outfield. The American flag was stiff the whole game.

JV Birds improve to 10-0 on the season. SO Lou Bunning and FR Rick Raisor combine on the 5 hit shutout, striking out 9 Rebels. SO Todd Ramey continues his torrid hitting at the plate, going 3-3 and raising his batting average to .519. Teegarden pitched well over 6 innings for Boone, allowing 3 ER and striking out 3 while walking only 1. Wright pitched a scoreless 7th inning in relief. JV Birds play at home tomorrow at Highland Park vs St. Henry at 5:00 p.m.

Is Cam Faehr getting a lot of reps on Boone's varsity squad. He was effective last year as a frosh on varsity and was curious where he's playing this season.

Griffin's a nice kid to boot. Glad to hear he is having success. Coached his older brother Grant years ago in knothole ball. His parents are great folks.

Mod may wish to add the opponent to the title thread.

Highlands JV improves to 9-0 on the young season and continues their torrid hitting at Ryle with 18 hits, lead by SO Orne with 4 hits and SO Venneman and FR Walkenhorst with 3 hits each. All 9 starters had at least 1 hit. SO Ramey drives in 3 runs for the Birds. SO Ball hurls a complete game scattering 6 hits over 6 innings, striking out 4 and walking only 2. Ryle is lead by N. Berg and Boswell with 2 hits each. Lonneman (4 innings) and Allen (2 innings) pitched for Ryle

Highlands JV improves to 8-0 with the win. Birds bang out 17 hits lead by SO Bunning and SO Watson with 3 hits each. Bunning drives in 4 runs, SO Ramey and SO Heck each with 2 RBIs. Heck goes 4 innings on the bump, scattering 3 hits while striking out 8 and walking only 1.

What kind of calls? Balls and strikes?

I had the final 8-6 Cooper. Cooper was lead by #52 and 57 with 2 hits each and the Birds were lead by Mark Walkenhorst's 3 hits. Sorry I don't have the names. As is not unusual for frosh games, both teams had multiple errors that lead to runs. # 17 started and got the win for Cooper. Kreeger started for the Birds. Trailing 8-2 heading to the bottom of 7, the Birds plated 4 runs and had the tying runs on base when the third out was made. Birds play a DH today at Highland Park to round out a full week of home games during spring break.

A professional catcher I know said last year that while pop times are important, how a catcher frames pitch after pitch is more important. After all, in an average game a catcher receives 90+ pitches and throws down to 2nd or 3rd a few times a game. It's so much more than pop times.

I think it's Mark Bogenshutz. Not sure if he's the head coach but I do know he works with the pitchers.

Mod needs to change the title to reflect the game was a frosh game.

Highlands JV improves to 7-0 on the young season to sweep the 4 games in Oldham County. 8th grader Ethan Doty throws 6 strong innings scattering 4 hits and striking out 7 while walking none. FR Ricky Raisor gets the last 3 outs and the save on a triple play in the bottom of the 7th. After allowing the 1st two runners to reach, a line out on a hit and run lead to a Heck to Bunning to Orne triple play. JV Birds off until Saturday when they play a DH vs. Lloyd and Ryle.

Highlands JV improves to 6-0 by sweeping the 2nd game of a DH. SO Keelan Donovan, SO Lou Bunning, and SO Jeff Orne combine on a 1 hitter. After 4 weeks of rehabbing it was nice to see Bunning back on the bump for the Birds.

Highlands JV improves to 5-0 with another outstanding pitching performance by SO Kenny Ball who goes 6 innings on the bump with no earned runs. Birds are lead at the plate by SO Lou Bunning, Ball, and FR Ricky Raisor with 2 hits each to lead a 9 hit attack.

Good work by Heppler and Galvin, 16U Ky Colonels.

JV Birds put up a 6 spot in top of the 3rd inning to give SO Grayson Heck a lead that they would never relinquish. FR Ricky Raisor finishes up the birds on the bump, who improve to 3-0 on the young season. Birds now travel to Oldham County for 4 games in 3 days beginning Monday night. New facilities at Elder are excellent.

Todd Ramey leads the offensive attack for the Birds with a 3 run home run and a double as the JV Birds improve to 2-0 on the season. Kenny Ball improves to 2-0 on the bump. Birds play at Elder today and then travel to Oldham County to play 4 games in 3 days next week.

Got a text from someone who was there saying it was 3-2 Campbell County final. No details though.

Yes - Versus Campbell County at 5:00.

St. Mary's field is nice... but not close to being one of the nicest home ball parks in N.Ky.

If the forecast for the "white death" is correct, I don't think anyone will be playing in N.Ky. next Monday

Yes sir.

Coach Mueller has been compared to Bill Nye the science guy. I think he also teaches AP Calculus when he isn't teaching AP Physics.
