The new field has to finish settling and the infield to "harden" up. It has been to wet to roll and you can cause more damage by playing on it too soon. Like a fine wine, it needs to age a bit.

It is only 14 feet in high school. It doesn't cover the entire bench area for any high school in any gym in the state.

It is the 5th largest school this year. http://khsaa.org/reports/enrollments/20122013schoolenrollmenttotalsbyenroll.pdf

There was no doubt that the ball left Johnson's hand at the end of regulation before the light went off on the backboard.

Betting the heat idex will be closer to 120-125 if ambient temperature is 100.

Hard throwing ace has torn lambrum and limited to DH status.

Son, are you ready to be the next sacraficial lamb?

We'll find out on Oct 7 at J-town when they host John Hardin

I noticed in the official boxscore that Mercer County only gave up 4 earned runs. When it rains it pours kind of game, first 7 were unearned and 10 of the 14 in the 4th were unearned.

Pitching rules are in place so any pitcher going over 2 innings must have rest. See below: XIII) Special Tournament and Regular Season Rules A) Pitching Limitations 1) For purposes of this rule, delivery of a minimum of one (1) pitch constitutes having pitched in one inning. 2) A pitcher may pitch in a maximum of nine (9) innings in one (1) day, but not more than fifteen (15) innings in any seven (7) day period. 3) If a pitcher pitches in three (3) innings to five (5) innings, in one (1) day, that pitcher shall have one (1) calendar day of rest beginning with the day following the first day a pitch is thrown. 4) If a pitcher pitches in six (6) innings, that pitcher shall have two (2) calendar days of rest beginning with the day following the first day a pitch is thrown. 5) If a pitcher pitches in seven (7) or more innings in one day, that pitcher shall have three (3) calendar days of rest beginning with the day following the first day a pitch is thrown. 6) This limitation affects regular season and postseason play. The only difference is during the state tournamnet when the teams playing the first day (4 games) must wait until the other 4 games are complete beofre the count begins for pitching again.

New Lights!!!! They were installed very recently and some of the other gyms are brighter but sooooo much better. Shot the 31st girls championship game. ISO 2000, f2.8 at 1/250 so it beats the flash days!

This could very well be decided by turnovers

Yes I have but they are also getting paid millions which has always had an effect on the way the game is officiated for some players. The way I look at it is this, Tiant to whatimidickey from Boston balked or balk on every pitch because there is an interruption in what I perceive as a natural motion because there is a stop (or maybe multiple stops) in the motion. But if they are doing that on basically every pitch then does that become their "natural motion" associated with his delivery? Ok there has been a close game with both starting pitchers going to the last inning. There has not been a "one second pause" in Pitcher A's motion all night. In a one run game, top of the last inning, Pitcher A suddenly has a one second pause in his motion in an attempt to freeze the runner in scoring position. That is a balk because it is an interruption in the natural motion associated with the delivery.

8.01 b - end of the first paragraph "After assuming Set Position, any natural motion associated with his delivery of the ball to the batter commits him to the pitch without alteration or interruption."

A game of many big mo changes, Shelby County is up 4-0 and Anderson County fights back to 4-3, Anderson has a big inning goes up 7-4 then Shelby in the bottom of the same inning hits back to back dingers to tie it at 7. It stays that way for 4 innings with both teams having chances to win the game and Anderson goes up 9-7 in the top of the 11 then Shelby scores 3 in the bottom to win. 4 hours and 16 minutes!
