The Penguin

Great kid....He will only get better from here....

Who determines the all tourney team or what is the criteria? There were some other players with some Stellar performances as well. These are well-deserved picks don't get me wrong. I'm just interested in the process itself.

Do these players get some type of certificate for the wall or play in a related game?

Glass did a great job. Changes speeds well....kept folks off balance. PRP squared up on the ball all night. Hitting team...Good luck to PRP.

Same error happened in regional play. E6 to start game scored. Rom 1 ER.

NKY Teams still in the hunt! Congrats SK!:ylsuper:

JB went with SR Doty and he delivered big time. So happy for Ethan and JB and the Birds.

 

Although many thought JB would start Michigan commit Drew Rom in the opener he went with the experienced saavy Senior. Ethan has pitched varsity for 3 years and is the consummate team player.

 

Good luck to the Birds vs PRP tomorrow night.

Risky move putting a D3 (Otterbein commit) pitcher up against a D1 (Marshall Commit). JC's 2nd pitcher is a D2 (KWC Commit). Why would you throw off like that?

Drew Rom is getting so much shade in here that he can ditch his sunglasses.

Just proof that these kids are worth talking about... Who has a breakdown on Kelley/ Kelly from Johnson Central?

There's a better college prospect and the right pitcher for the game. I would not be surprised to see Doty get the start.

I would have to agree with Clyde. I think that the coaching staff will match up the right pitcher against the right team with a not so narrow lens. Both are unproven in State play. Neither Rom nor Doty has pitched a college inning and both have plenty to prove with the upcoming opportunity. You can't really expect one or the other to go a full seven (although it would be nice). Someone has to be on tap as any pitcher (D1, D2, D3 commit) will be on a short leash. I say that you will see them both unless the Birds jump on Johnson Central early and build a nice cushion.

Cord...looking forward to that match-up. Sounds like some good baseball.

However, the big prize is still out there for 2017 and after years of watching baseball in the 9th region there is one thing that you can count on, Baioni has a plan...

Good Luck, Birds!

Sherm is a great kid who could play at the next level IMO. Not sure if he is but he would be a great addition to a college level team. Great team player and competitor. Hats off to Sherm.

It doesn't look like blown saves are tracked on Max Preps. However, it sounds like Rom would get 2 wins in as many days unless Dreves gets a W for being the pitcher in the 4th inning of today's game? Is that how it works?

These two teams are going wreak some havoc on Monday. Both are solid fundamentally and will take advantage of mistakes. Should be fun to watch.

Rom

Doty

Kramer

Dee closed out final 2 innings

The left hander that started for Beechwood (sorry, don't know his name) did a great job of keeping HHS hitters off balance. He had a few Ks as well and only a couple of hitters squared up on him. The Birds didn't add on until the relief guys came in. Beechwood is a team to watch. Note: Beautiful new field.

I think that most of the varsity HHS poster's players have graduated.

Fake News?

Kenny Ball from Highlands (2015 class) threw it as a primary pitch and had some success with it. Fun to watch.

Saw on Twitter: Spencer Dee with a Perfect Game!

Great kid and a Great Family!

Congratulations, Spencer! :clap:

Final five were Michigan, UC, Xavier, Indiana and Columbia

Not too shabby......

Music is great at Campbell County.

Eckerle

Last time I saw Eckerly he was bringing it....Hats off to Craddock and it sounds like the boys at Conner are swinging the bats. Was that Cov Caths first game?

Sounds like a solid group. Kincaid is a gamer...!!! Great kid....Great Family.....Looking forward to seeing a SK game. :ylsuper:
