Very well could have been a win for BC without the bad breaks...I guess?.

What happened? errors, poor calls, etc.. , It sounded like a really good game.
[/quote]Just looking at the line score, notice E in the same inning Cathage scored, sounded like a good game here too. Just 1 E and a break is all it takes to give up a run. IDK tho

Great game last night, too bad BC came up on the short end. Carthage played the game a little differently than BC did as far as pitching was concerned. Carthage ran their starter through 5 1/3 and then brought in their #1 to close the game with 3-1 lead. BC scored 2 and pushed the game to extras. BC pitched 7 different guys (started Macfarland, Currie, Gros, Rodriguez, Shugart, Mcelduff, and Watts) in an effort to get some innings and all of them did well. Carthage played clean defense for the most part as did BC. Both teams pitched well and had some timely hits. In the bottom of the 9th BC had the bases loaded and the Carthage pitcher, while in the windup, stepped off the rubber with the wrong foot to stop play TWICE and it wasn't called. Obvious balk which would have ended the game, tough break for sure. As the baseball gods would have it BC doesn't score in the bottom of the 9th and Carthage leads off the 10th with a HR and eventually scores 3 more runs and gets BC out in the 10th. Playoff style atmosphere and some good baseball.

    • I'm not sure who you are Separation Scientist, but you and I are on the same page entirely.  BH has not played tough, physical football for 4 full quarters in years (before the Gage hiring).  I feel it has 99% to do with how we work in the offseason.  I know we lift weights and spend a great deal of time lifting those weights and doing footwork drills, etc., ......but are we hurting and learning to fight through the pain and get to that next level and continue on?  I firmly believe in quality over quantity.  Do the coaches work the kids until exhaustion and then continue pushing them?  I know the answer.... they do not!  We practice in an indoor air conditioned taj mahal even when the weather is great.  It is much different than what the BH offseason program was in the nineties and early 2000s....and the programs of Katy and PNG of today.  We worked through multiple agility, plyo, mat drills, bleachers, hill training, weight training circuits until we were puking and after we finished non-stop motion for 50 minutes all groups would meet on the track to run a quarter for time.  If you didn't make the time you had to run it again.  We did this every day and would routinely test strength and speed (included a mile run for time...which hasn't happened at BH in years...yes, big boys can run a mile) ....and 90% of all athletes would improve in both strength and speed throughout the offseason.  This all took place in 4th period of the school day, and it got results.  We didn't have any big, sloppy dudes because they couldn't make it through the offseason (they lost weight and became hosses.... or quit) and our numbers were streamlined to only include those that really wanted to be there and put in the work.  One thing that didn't happen is we didn't have kids lay out injured on the field.  I do not remember many, if any, ever getting hurt or missing a game.  I contribute that to how we worked in the offseason.  Until we get the program back to this way of thinking and working, we will continue to be mediocre.  We have twice the athletes and numbers today than we did then so it would be fun to see the results.  It can be done.  Not sure it will be done.
