Two great coaches with two great teams. I look forward to seeing the game this Friday. Best of luck to both teams. Go Bears. [/quote] Don't hold your breath.  ;)

[quote name="PhatMack19" post="1217510" timestamp="1336050372"] There are a few players in the world that when the ball comes off of their bat it is just different, and he is one of them.  He hit 2 rockets last night off of the right center wall. His arm in the outfield is silly.  He has thrown a few balls on a rope that should have been assist if his catcher could catch. He plays hard and seems to be a student of the game, so I don't see why everyone is so quick to dog him besides his age and magazine covers.  The only problem I have is that his haircut is terrible. [/quote] Well said, Phat...I agree 100 % Kid is a player.

There will be plenty of pressure for both teams, underdog or not. You lose and your season is over...for some your baseball career is over. I have always been against the one game series for many reasons... With that said, I will take the Hill in a close one, 4-2.

[quote name="Lukethadrifter" post="1216818" timestamp="1335891001"] Lame?? Only lame thing on this thread is someone with 5750 posts who sits back and waits for a semi-critical take on some issue and then critiques them. What I said was innocent and obvious in response to the previous post. I just thought it was funny because someone always pulls out the old "injury" card when looking for a reason why their team underachieves or dont play to expectations. Injuries have been and always will be a part of every physical game. Lame?? dude, go back to your momma's basement. [/quote] YAWN

[quote name="jenks" post="1216771" timestamp="1335884899"] As a father who has kids in College and thankful for any help. Scholarships come in many shapes and sizes. I am sure you are worried about them implying it’s a full ride. If they get $10.00 off a text book then that’s a scholarship. Don't put too much thought into it and just be happy for any child that gets to play at the next level. [/quote] This ^^^^^^^^^^^ Well said, Jenks.

ULM Warhawks take two of three on the road in Bowling Green, Kentucky. ULM takes the opener on Friday night, 14-6. Back and forth game until Warhawks put up a 9-spot in the 7th inning. Kendall Thamm ( Barbers Hill-2008 ) throws 5 2/3 innings in relief to get the win. ULM loses heartbreaker on Saturday, falling in 10 innings 7-6. Warhawk lefty Randy Zeigler with another outstanding performance but ends with a no-decesion. Zeigler's 125th pitch was clocked at 91mph. ULM bounces back in a thriller on Sunday to take game three and the series, 7-6 in 12 innings. Kendall Thamm (Barbers Hill-2008) throws scoreless 10-11-12th innings to earn his second win of the weekend. Warhawks travel to play McNeese St in Lake Charles on Tuesday for a i-game non-conference matchup. ULM will host Arkansas Little Rock on Friday thru Sunday.

The pitching as good as it was couldn't carry the team which was my point. You still have to play defense and put some runs on the board. [/quote] Oh I agree.  However, all 5 of Bay City's runs were unearned as a result of errors from the two positions affected by the missing player. Great way to end your high school pitching career.  ;)
