RIP09

Peterson Mitchell Rocha We're still looking for someone to step up and be the solid #2 starter that we need. I'd still like to see Carmona throw some more. He has looked very solid in the couple of outings he's had. He's got some pretty good stuff and he's got outstanding composure on the mound. He will battle and has the perfect mindset for a pitcher. I wouldn't mind seeing "The Rocket" throw a little also. Good fastball and curveball. Rip why don't you tell old Coach Gil? It's not really my place and it's his call. It's just something I'd like to see that IMO could help the team. If not, at least you gave it a shot. I know one of the concerns is not having Carmona at SS which I understand, but if he can give us some solid pitching I think it might be worth it. Tuesday night would be the perfect opportunity to give Carmona a few innings work and to let someone else take some reps at SS. We've got a few guys that I think could fill in at SS if given some reps. None of them would be as good as Carmona but I think the move is worth the risk if the pitching improves.

BH 4 CROSBY 14 BH is 4-2 in district. The roller coaster ride continues for BH. Not a whole lot of positives to talk about in this one. Crosby's pitcher strikes out the first 6 hitters for BH and Crosby scores 4 runs on 5 hits and an error in the first 2 innings and never looks back. Crosby would blow the game wide open in the bottom of the 3rd. After scoring 1 run on an rbi double and the runner being thrown out at 3rd trying to stretch the double to a triple for the 2nd out of the inning, things fell apart. Matt Peterson who got the start would walk the next 2 batters and would be pulled from the game. Daniel Mitchell came on in relief and walked the first batter to load the bases. Mitchell would coax the next hitter into what appeared to be a routine fly ball for the final out of the inning. The ball was hit into shallow center and the BH shortstop appeared to be in position to make the play but at the last second he was called off and the catch wasn't made. Two runs scored on the play and after another walk and an error at 3rd base, Crosby would end up scoring 7 runs in the inning, only 1 of which was earned. BH would end up with 5 errors on the night. BH would not get on the board until the top of the 5th after trailing 11-0. Rocha lead off with a double and Blaine McDonald would follow that up with a single. After a ground out to the pitcher, Heath Padgett would hit a ball into left center that the centerfielder would run down but could not hang on to for the final out of the inning. Both runs would score to keep the game going for BH. Rocha who came on in relief of Mitchell, would hold Crosby scoreless in the 4th and 5th innings. Colby Henscey lead off the 6th inning with a solo HR to left field. Lyday and Ponder would both single and move to 2nd and 3rd on a groundout. Lyday would then score on a wild pitch to end the scoring for BH. Crosby would end the game in the btm. of the 6th scoring 3 runs on 4 hits off of Rocha. PITCHING Peterson - 2.67 ip, 6 hits, 7 runs 5 earned, 4 bb, 4 k, 1 hbp Michell - 0 ip, 1 hit, 4 runs 0 earned, 3 bb Rocha - 3 ip, 4 hits, 3 runs 3 earned, 4 k, 2 hbp OFFENSE Lyday - 2 for 3, run Henscey - 1 for 3, HR, rbi, run Ponder - 1 for 3 Rocha - 1 for 2, 2b, run B.

BH 6 DAYTON 0 BH 4-1 IN DISTRICT BH rebounded in a big way tonight with the help of an outstanding complete game from Jay Burditt. Burditt gave up only 2 hits while striking out 12 in a dominating performance on the mound. Alex Rocha came up big at the plate with a couple of triples and an rbi. Looking forward to a big game on Friday night against Crosby. PITCHING Burditt - 7 ip, 2 hits, 0 runs, 12 Ks, 4 bb, 1 hbp OFFENSE Rocha - 2 for 3, 2 triples, rbi Padgett- 1 for 2, bb, sb, run Ponder - 1 for 2, 2b Myer - 1 for 1, rbi

Does anybody know who plays secondbase for BH? The kid has a cannon for a arm he threw out one of players from deep behind second base That would be Cody Clifton otherwise known as "THE ROCKET". And he does have a cannon of an arm!

BH 2 GOOSE CREEK MEMORIAL 6 BH 3-1 IN DISTRICT BH seems to be on a roller coaster with their up and down play. BH has been playing some very good baseball over the last 6 or 7 games but that was not the case last night. BH got completely beaten in every area of the game last night. The Memorial players wanted this game bad and it appeared from the very beginning that it meant more to them than it did to the BH team. Heath Padgett got BH off to a good start with a line drive single but that would be short lived when he was picked off of first base. Carmona followed that up with a hard line out to the shortstop and Henscey would line out to 2nd base. All three balls were hit hard and it looked like BH would be able to get to the Memorial pitcher later in the game, but it never happened. BH would finish the night with only 4 hits. Matt Peterson got the start on the mound and would give up hits to 3 of the first 4 hitters he faced giving GC the early 1-0 lead. Peterson got himself out of a bases loaded jam after giving up the 1 run with a couple of strikeouts. BH would fail to make good on a golden scoring opportunity in the top of the 4th. Carmona would start the inning off by ripping a double down the left field line and Colby Henscey would follow that up with a walk after getting behind in the count 1-2. Burditt would lay down a sac bunt to move Carmona and Henscey to 3rd and 2nd with only 1 out. Jake Ponder would pop up to 2nd base for the 2nd out of the inning and GC intentionally walked Lyday to load the bases. Alex Rocha would leave the bases loaded with a pop up to short center field to end the inning without scoring a run. The game would remain at 1-0 until the top of the 6th. Carmona once again started things off with a hit down the first base line. Henscey would fly out to right for the first out. Burditt would follow that up with a big 2 strike double to the right center gap putting runners on 2nd and 3rd with only 1 out again. Ponder would be intentionally walked to load the bases. Lyday would come up and foul off several pitches with a 2 strike count before reaching on a fielder's choice to 3rd base that would bring in the tying run. The 3rd baseman would get the out at 3rd but made a bad throw to first trying to double off Lyday that would allow courtesy runner Cade McDonald to move up to 3rd base. McDonald would score the go ahead run with a wild pitch on the very next pitch. Lyday would move to 2nd on the pitch and then to 3rd on a pb. Rocha would draw a walk to put runners at 1st and 3rd with 2 outs. BH would fail to get any more as Peterson would fly out to center to end the inning. GC would come back in the btm of the inning with 5 runs on 3 hits , an error, 2 balks, a hbp, and 3 walks to end the scoring. BH would go down in order in the 7th to end the game. PITCHING Peterson - 5 2/3 ip, 7 hits, 6 runs, 4 earned, 5 bb, 8 k Baker - 1/3 ip, 1 hits, 0 runs, 1 k OFFENSE - (not much) Carmona - 2 for 4, 2b, run Burditt - 1 for 2, 2b Padgett - 1 for 4

Butts kicked they tok the young team lightly and it cost them Hmmmm....sure you don't wanna give GCM some -- even a little -- credit for simply outplaying BH? I think "Butts kicked" is a compliment to Goose Creek! I think that pretty much summed it up. The GCM team looked like the more mature and better prepared team on the field last night. It looked to me like the game meant alot more to the Goose than it did to BH. A very well played game by GCM. Price Jacobs pitched a great game against BH. They completely outplayed BH in every aspect of the game. Congrats on a big win.

I just drove by the field and it is tarped. Hopefull we'll get this one in if we don't get anymore rain!

I coached little league all the way through and never had a kid hit more than .500 and every year had guys presenting kids with the .600 and above averages that might have had 15 at bats against my team and never had a base hit. It always amazed me how guys came up with their averages. Ball in play = Hit Exactly ;D And those same guys, I would bet, still score it the same way!

I agree. You'll very seldom if ever have 2 people score a game the same way. I keep a book at our games just to be able to post updates about the team. I can guarantee you mine is different many times from the others that are being kept.

I would agree. Baker has done a very good job in relief. He has pitched very well.

Their top 4 or 5 hitters are very solid. No easy outs and they have some power!

Bottom line. If you don't play well, you will probably lose!

Well said! BH has a lot of baseball left to play and we have some tough games ahead. If we stay focused we'll be okay. We're playing some pretty good baseball right now but we still have room for improvement. Just keep working hard boys!

Good write up RIP09 I know we left a lot on base. How many? I don't have my book with me. I thought it was about 6. We did leave the bases loaded in one inning and we had a few base running mistakes that cost us at least 2 runs. We did have one big 2-out hit to score 2 runs so overall I'd say it was a pretty solid performance.

I haven't seen him play, but from what I've read I believe Hicks is a current star!

Awesome game from the BH boys tonight and K-Park is definitely a worthy opponent. K-Park will be in the race to the end.

BH 4 KP 1 BH 3-0 IN DISTRICT What a great around performance from Barbers Hill. Jay Burditt would get the start on the mound for BH. Burditt was at his best with an outstanding performance in a complete game win. Burditt would face 4 hitters in the 1st inning striking out 2 and that seemed to set the pace for the game. BH would get an early lead in the btm. of the 2nd with a leadoff walk to Burditt. Cade McDonald would be inserted as a courtesy runner for Burditt and would score on an RBI double down the left field line from Jake Ponder. Burditt would face only 4 hitters in the top of the 3rd giving up only one single. Colby Henscey would help extend the lead in the btm. of the 3rd. Cody Clifton lead off the inning by ripping a line drive into left field. The K-Park pitcher would get a flyball to left and a strikeout as Cody Clifton stole second on the strikeout. With 2 outs and Clifton at 2nd, Colby Henscey would hit a 2-out, 2-Run bomb of a homerun over the left field score board. This would be Henscey's 4th HR in 5 games. That would be all that Burditt would need. BH would tack on 1 run in the 5th as Clifton and Peterson would lead off with singles and Clifton would end up scoring on a bases loaded walk. Burditt would not get into any trouble until the 6th inning when he allowed the first 2 hitters to reach. He would then get the next 3 hitters in order with a flyball, a strikeout, and a ground ball back to the mound to end the threat. The only run Burditt would give up would be on a 2 out base hit into the outfield that was bobbled which would allow a runner from 2nd to score in the 7th inning. Awesome performance from the BH team. PITCHING Burditt - 7 ip, 7 hits, 1 run, 8 k, 0 bb OFFENSE Henscey - 1 for 3, HR, 2 RBIs, run Clifton - 2 for 3, 2 runs Peterson - 2 for 3 Ponder - 1 for 2, 2b, RBI, HBP Carmona - 1 for 2, BB

I think KP will give BH all they can handle but with the game at home BH has the edge tonight. tThese two will battle for the top spot all season. We will know more after this game. I can't wait for this one to get started. It should be a great game. This is going to be one heck of a race for the district title. I don't see any cakewalks in the schedule. If you get into the playoffs your going to earn it. Whoever get's into the playoffs should be battle tested, which is a good thing.

I've experienced a little of that myself. But it sure can turn around fast. ;D

I heard this was a possibity but as of right now nothing has changed. Still scheduled for 7 pm. I just got word that the game time will be 7 pm. No change. Looking at the current radar...the heavy rain could miss us just to the North........maybe. I've been watching it all day. Hopefully is doesn't change directions too much as the front gets closer.

Good to hear she's improving. Keep those prayers coming!

You need to be a little more timely on your updates! ;D
