  1. Final from Union.

     

    Alex Veneman gets the win in relief. Thomas takes the loss for the Jags.

     

    Birds move to 21-7 on the season.

     

    Big blow by JR Austin Mayhew in the 7th inning with a 2 rbi single with the bases loaded to give the Birds some insurance.

  2. What I mean is that the Bird's # 3 and #4 are most likely a step above the rest of the fields' #3 and #4 . Their #1 and #2 against one of the other top teams 1&2's are more evenly matched, so it will come down to which team can pull some hits together and who has the best defensive game.

    I know there is a lot of talk on how deep their pitching staff is, but I think Highlands success has been due to some strong bats. Can someone's ace quiet them ?, who knows. Thats why they play the game.

     

    I think I seen that the Bird's are undefeated against local talent. How many of the top 10 in NKY have they played and have any of the games been against the others Ace?

     

    The Birds lost to Ruwe of CCH last Saturday (assume he is CCH's No. 1). Assuming Purnell is Boone County's ace, Highlands beat them last night 12-2 with their #4 starter. So the Birds have faced their share of "aces"

  3. I was just informed the HR was not even past the left of second. The foul ball called fair was a right handed batter,so the foul ball and the bunt was the only ball that was turned on.

     

    To correct prior posters, Whitford hit a single to RF and Murray's bunt was pushed perfectly down the line at third.

     

    And Ramey's HR would not have been 40 feet short of most fences as it was a rope over the old scoreboard.

     

    Purnell is obviously a talented pitcher who had a rough outing. I think he gave up 8 or 9 hits in 2 innings. It happens to the best of them. Heck that same Hall of Famer was commenting that he lead the league in home runs allowed many years in the bigs.

     

    Purnell will bounce back I'm sure.

     

    Good luck to Boone the rest of the way.

  4. Game was 12-2 in 5 innings. Birds had 11 hits to only 3 for Boone. Birds played errorless baseball while the rebels had 3 errors.

     

    Purnell throws hard. Radar gun had him sitting at 85. Although he seemed to get a bit rattled by the 1st inning HR by Ramey and the questionable calls that juneball referenced. A Hall of Famer in the crowd was noticing his reactions and commented that pitching is so much more than having great stuff. Composure is a vital part of the game especially for a pitcher.

     

    Congrats to Coach Baioni on his 2nd consecutive 20 win season. Highlands moves to 20-7 while Boone drops to 13-10.

  5. Birds up their record to 18-4 with the win in front of a nice crowd at Highland Park.

     

    Five more long balls for the Birds as SR Joe Martin and SR Todd Ramey club 2 each and SR Jake Whitford hits a 3 run shot. That's 9 home runs in the past 2 games for the Birds. Birds offense has been on fire lately.

     

    The Birds pitching combo of SR Lou Bunning (4 IP 6 Ks), SR Jake Noe (2 IP 3 Ks) and SR Mitchell Jones (1 IP 3 Ks) get free pizza for all in attendance striking out 12 Pioneers.

     

    Bunning ups his record to 4-1 on the season.

     

    Franzen started for SK and took the loss. SR Sean Lawrence homered for the Pioneers and Smith had 2 hits including a double.

  6. In the championship game in the Reid Rizzo Memorial Tournament, Highlands erases early 2-0 and 4-1 deficits as the bats get going late. Birds had 17 hits in the win. SR Todd Ramey ends it in the bottom of the 6th with a towering home run over the left center field fence at LaSalle.

     

    SR Joseph Martin was 6-6 in the 2 games with 2 doubles and 2 walks.

     

    JR Rick Raisor ups his record to 5-0 with the complete game effort.

     

    Highlands moves to 16-4 on the season.

     

    Grove City, a school of approximately 2000 students south of Columbus, has several solid hitters in their lineup.
