Boy could I tell you alot of old secrets about Carthage. ;D

wait what? infield hit by LC-M but Cloeren who play for LC-M didn't throw it to first? come on fellas lets get on the same page my head is hurting lol I think TD got it backwards in his earlier post. It was no no for Brown for 6 innings, then Barry for 7th no hits. then BC with 2 hits in 8th. Yes they gave BC an infield hit in the 5th I think it was. I did have it backwards but I have now fixed it. Sorry for the confusion. I would have scored it differently but that's not what was put on the board. I agree as far as I was concerned there were no hits on either side through 7 innings. thanks td that was really confusing me This was the best game. If you missed it you really missed something. If you like good pitching that is. All three kids were great. This kind of game makes an old man think he still has one good inning left. Knowing good and well I can't bust a grape, it sure makes you want to get out there and try. if i wasn't up here in Carthage playing ball myself i would have been there in a heartbeat. Stay away from Flatforks ;D ;D

I can see it both ways. If I had been pitching that's what I would have wanted. No way he gets the runner at first once the ball took that big hop. Whoever was keeping score at BC I guess was the official score keeper and they gave it a hit. I would have wanted a FC also. The umpires both told me and I had to agree that he had no chance at getting the runner at first and made a great choice trying to get the out at second. the bad hop slowed everything down. Hicks wasn't stealing, if he couldn't get him at second no way the out is made at first. Great game regardless if it was a hit or FC. As far as I'm concerned that's not really even the story.

According to the score board they gave an infield hit to BC. I think that was in the 5th. It was a judgement call. Shortstop really had no other play than try to get the out at second and Hicks beat him to the bag. It was a tough way to lose a no hitter. I haven't seen a game like this since 1984. WOS v. Cypress Creek. Cypress Creek won that game and their pitcher threw a no hitter. WOS lost throwing a one hitter. The guy that scored struck out and the hit wasn't in the same inning as the score. Congratulations to both teams. What a great game by both teams. Talking to the umpires after the game they said Dallas had 11 K's and Matt had 16 K's. That is obviously unofficial. If you missed this game you missed a great game.

BigMacAg I have that very picture of Nolan framed in my office. I hope you paid more than I did for it. ;D Well he probably didn't STEAL his so I'm sure he did ;D I see the market's up so you feel like you can talk crap today. Every other day you are hiding in your office. ;D ;D ;D

Glad to hear the Ponies are doing well. Man I remember my days at Lake Murvall. Not to mention some of the locals. ;D I wonder if Coach Davis still goes to the games? Those were some good days.

He is not available.

Guys, there are pros and cons for both. It really is a matter of preference.

I agree Gabe. It wouldn't suprise me for either team to win. I love watching Matt work. I hope I get to see him Tuesday. The mosquito's are going to be horrible. Not looking forward to that.

Thanks, I found them. They are the SE Texas Gators. Good luck this weekend guys. If you get a chance you should go play in Baton Rouge at Cypress Mounds. It's a Cal Ripkin facility and it is really nice. We were lucky enough to play one of the first tournaments on it last year and our 9U and 10U Blue teams are going this weekend. They have 6 teams in the 9U group so far and 12 in the 10U group. We will travel this year. I was going to play in a few Lufkin tournaments, but they lump all the select teams & Elite teams into the same bracket and I do not like it, so we will be looking for a few more out of town tournaments. Do you have that Baton Rouge website? [Hidden Content] Very nice park. I am going to play there in May, most likely Mothers Day Weekend. That ought to make all the Mothers happy ;D ;D It really is a nice park. The people are easy to work with also. We worked a pretty good deal with the Courtyard by Marriot. They actually encourage baseball teams to come and stay and understand that there will be 10-12 10 year old boys there and what that means. They have a nice restaurants on the facility where you can get an adult beverage if you would like. All of the guys running the complex are ex LSU baseball players. Good Luck.

They missed a good 11U tournament in Beaumont this weekend. There must have been 12 teams in that tournament. Speaking of tournaments, GTB/Hitters Inc. won the 9U, 10U and 12U tournaments in Beaumont this weekend and 11U Elite finished second.

I only saw two Gator teams and one was out of Houston and the other out of Spring. I'm not doubting anything I was just wanting to look up your team. Which one are you? Do yall play Nations or USSSA? What level do yall play in?

Ever consider WOS played a great game. Zane came in and did a great job. He had them off balance and the defense played well. The kid that pitched for Crosby was also a good pitcher and could really bring it. He was over powering at times and had a lot of strike outs. I'm sure OLGabe will have an article that will have all the stats. I just know it was good to see WOS stay in the game and finish with the lead. Holding on to a lead and finishing a game is something we weren't able to do last year. This was a big win for us.

This was a very good game until the last inning.

Good to have met you too.

The freshman looked good on the bump today. Just a few pitches I bet he wish he had back but over all very impressed with him today. WOS really came out swinging the bats today. Drouillard went 6 innings, gave up 7 hits, 9 Ks and 3 walks. 3 ER Thanks for the stats. I obviously didn't keep them but glad you posted them for us. He looked good today and will be an asset down the road. He is also a good kid.

Talked to him today. Good news for WOS. Spoke to Coach Dyer through email today as well. Very good news for WOS and a disappointment to the rebuilding process in Bear Country. Coach Dryer is a quality coach, man, and leader to these high school kids. I wish him continued success in his new position. I agree with everything you said. Yall are getting one of ours though. Things are looking up over there. Let's keep the ball rolling.

I agree score was 5-4 Crosby.

Down???? I think they won 2 games last year.
