Who pitched for each team?

It was great to see a pretty good crowd of students from both schools.

Final from Florence

I would disagree on the Doc Morris game, both teams fought hard, but the defense you seen from Boone at that game was no where close from a normal game. Anyone who has watched Boone this season would agree you are not going to see that type of defensive game in a while. That field is in major need of a good rolling in the infield and the outfield needs the valley removed from it. I would agree all the district teams are pretty close together, but I wouldn't gauge much off that game except both team kept their heads up and battled to the end.

Unfortunately, It was a game played on the worst field in the area. It came down to which team got the last bad hop. Early in the game, Cooper got the bad hops and drop fly balls due to the field conditions and toward the end , Boone got their share of the field monsters.

Yes, he was the reliever against Conner and Cooper, picked up both wins. He has also been leading the Rebels in reg season batting avg this season.

IMO, There would have been a play attempt at home if Boone chose to push it no matter who was running, but with no outs and Boone's top batting averages coming up to bat it was smart not to risk giving Conner a mental boost w a good play at the plate. Per Boone's stats, Johnson and Purnell are hitting over .400 for the reg season and Johnson, Martin, Purnell are at the top w/ Ganns w/ RBI's. Boone has had too many outs this season trying to get the extra base, so I feel it was a excellent decision to hold the runner. As on not using Floyd , with Floyd already used as a courtesy runner earlier in the game, could he come in as a pinch runner ? I'm not up with all the rules on enter/re-enter runner rules.

It was nice to see the Rebels back on the field after another week of rain outs and it felt good to play at home for the first time in five weeks. Both starters had a great game. Leaving runners on base kept Ganns from a chance of picking up another win. Purnell comes in the 7th for Boone to pick up his second district win and gets the walk off hit to end the game. Great team effort. Hopefully, Santomo's (sp) leg injury is nothing severe and be able to keep his hot bat in the lineup. On a side note, It was nice to see fans from both teams having a good time, sitting together and having a great time. Excellent Game

Congrats to Coach Mac!

Purnell started for Boone , went 4 followed by Davis and Gieske one inning each. Sorry don't have names for Dixie.

Final from Edgewood. Game was included in the Reds Futures High School Showcase. Dixie came out hot in the first inning and got 3 across. Boone settled in and clawed back to make it a tied game of 4-4 in the top of the 6th. Dixie added 3 more in the bottom of the 6th to claim the game. Boone 001 003 0 - 4 8 2 Dixie 300 103 -7 8 0

Nice win Rebels!!!!!:clap:

Another good game for the Rebels. Starter Johnson did a nice job today. Good relief by Behrens and Davis. Good offense and defense capped off by a great diving play by LF Mayberry late in the game. Nice too see Finn and Davis back on the field from their injuries. Great day Rebels!

First game of a two game day. Starter Rodersheimer had another fine outing. Sasher was the closer. Rebels had a few base path mistakes which helped keep the game tied 1-1 late into the game. Somerset went ahead in the top of 7, but Rebels finished strong and got the comeback win. Great game by both teams. Very nice complex at Franklin County High School

:thumb:Welcome scott2936! Sounds like your first thread start is a hot one.

Was Ganns and Dunn the only hits out of the infield? Also, I think the Purnell kid from Boone had multiple hits , possible 3 based on how they were recorded.

Conner seems to be on a roll! Great win for the cougars!

How about game stats? Who pitched, any good hits, plays. You have to love the district games. A lot of emotions flowing.

I heard it was a low throw that had the fielder falling over to get the ball in the base path. A parent had it on film and the runner had a perfect slide and shows the defense player going down to get the ball into the base path. I know there is always three sides, home crowd, away crowd and the truth somewhere in the middle.

Who has stats? Heard it was a 1-1 game until a terrible call by the field ump against Boone, which seemed to fire up the Rebels. A very bad interpretation of a rule gave Cooper a dbl play,but Boone tacked on 3 runs with two outs. Great Win for Boone

Actually, It was a great outing by Blake Rodersheimer. I'm not sure of the stats but he went 5 innings and kept Boyle Co's bats very quiet. His off speed pitch was working really nice yesterday. Combine the quality pitching with the Rebels bats made for a Boone win. On a side note, Now that the tournament is over, they should be able to continue their cattle farming on the field. Holy Cross did a fine job on running the bracket, but that field is great need of work. You had to hold your breath on every ball that hit the ground, because you didn't know what the ball was going to do. I feel sorry for the teams that have to use it on a regular basis.

Long, hard battle. Congrats to the Jags.

Purnell had another fine outing. 9 straight outs, 6 being K's

You are correct, My Midland comment was toward the other numerous threads about Midland over hyping their players. I think we all know Midland will not chirp in on this thread.

Is Doc Morris really that big, in the past it is a rain-out mess. With all the Midland- self hype, Beechwood will probable see more non- district games played hard ,more then you would believe.
