This was a District battle. The parents got well out of hand and took away from the battle on the field. I saw a lot of disrespectful parents when there was game stoppage due to injury. If your kid is on the ground or your kid has an issue on the mound with an injury, the last thing you want to hear are some people be disrespectful to the kid. That was the worst thing I've seen in many a years.

Actually it looked like his splitter, but I guess you would have to ask T Ganns. Either way he worked out of the jam. Cooper made him work though and he threw a lot of pitches. He got them on a few pitches up and was up in the zone more than I have ever seen him. Still got the job done though. Kudos to T Ganns!!!

Ra-Ra....I won't say that the kid did anything on purpose, but, I did see the hole in the players pants and it was at his thigh. His undergarment is what protected him from that being worse than what it was. In regards to the play at third we will agree to disagree. I will agree with Ganns. He is and has always been a force.

Dunn went 5 2/3 and I think Boone had 1 ER. Ganns went 5 giving up 1 ER. Dunn was the only player for either team to have multiple hits. Ganns and Dunn both doubled for the 2 extra base hits in game. Hits were at a minimum in this game. Boone 7 hits and Cooper 5.

Actually the call against Cooper at 3rd is what you call a bad call.

Have the parent post it then. The actions taken by the crowd when injuries occurred were absolutely ridiculous. You NEVER say something towards a kid that has an injury. Bad enough it being a parent, but someone who calls themselves a coach asking to see cleat marks! SAD!

Congrats Arlo!

Who was on the bump for Ryle?

Miniard pitched the 7th. Clocking in at 92mph.

After starting a little slow his first couple starts, Lawhorn looks like he's starting to get sharp. Very solid pitching performance!

To add on to Malibu............Nice to get some W's against the almighty OH and Southern KY teams. NKY I feel gets looked at as feeble, so way to take it too them NKY! :thumb:

Roadie pitched an AWESOME game! Every pitch had movement and he really did keep them off balance. Congrats to he and the Rebs! Always good to get wins over the southern teams!

Great weekend for the Jags. Glad to see Dunn getting healthy and velocity and pitches working for him against Boyle. 5 strong innings, 1 hit and velocity creeping back up. Sitting 88mph with movement on the FB. Did get to see the top pitcher in the state the last inning. Hit 92mph a few times. Jags didn't seemed phased which was good against 6'7" and solid build. Dunn led off and scorched the second pitch clock at 92 to lead off the last inning. Holland scorched another 92mph to score Dunn. Hope the jags to continue to put the bats on the ball.

I would hate to be the game after that 3 1/2 hour marathon!

Thanks tbird!

Actually I think it was Martin that started and not Cochran! A Bird will have to confirm this! :popcorn:

If I'm correct Cochran started, they brought in a lefty and finished with Vermeil. If I'm mistaken Birds my apologies. Jags started Chris Decker, then brought in Alex Simpson and finished with Jordan Biddle. All 3 Jags pitchers pitched very well and had solid defense behind them. Coach Collins went with the boys that played JV last season and all 3 proved to be solid on the bump. Once again all 3 boys did very well, but Alex Simpson stood out to me in this one. Good movement on the fastball and had a little breaking ball he would throw up there every once in a while. I really liked his approach to the game and the Highlands atmosphere. People turn out there to see their Birds battle consistently.

Congrats to Mr. Reid!!!

Didn't really look at it as a game there "History". Some information was given per request. Look at him however you would like. It really doesn't matter. He's going to move on to the next level and that's all that really matters.

Struggled for sure. Velocity was down along with off speed pitch command. Overall very rough outing.

You commented who he had beat and I gave you some history. Just trying to answer your question. If you didn't want answers to your question I wouldn't have answered. It was a question correct? Yes! That's what I thought!

My only thing is that it's DAYTON. Start your reserves and see what you got. Stat stuffer game IMO!

Left the game after 6 as a freshmen beating Ryle 5-2 to get no decision. Left game with a lead his sophomore year no hitting Conner and up 2-0 after 4 to get no decision. Actually he beat CCH and shut them down his Junior year. Left game after 4 against Highlands with a 3-0 lead only to get another no decision. Conner and Highlands were both early in the year and was on a low pitch count. His last 2 games, Campbell and CCH were he ran into trouble was in the 2nd inning of both games. He has been gutting through a little injury the last 2 outings and has yet to get were he was against Highlands. He by no means is perfect and will have bad games. But, hopefully this will give you a little background and hopefully people under estimate him so Cooper can get to the Regionals this year. Not sour grapes, just felt a little history, no pun attended, would good regarding your comment.

Interesting......Coaches know best :thumb:

I don't think you can base it off who has the best 3 or 4 starters. You can look at who has been favored to win the region the last few years, CCH, and they had very strong pitching staffs. What happened to them? You need to play well and have a little luck on your side at the same time. JMO!
