BARBERS HILL BASEBALL 2009 GAME RESULTS

[The Patriot]

BH  0    CROSBY 3

BH now 8-4 in district.

And the roller coaster ride that is BH baseball continues! What a disappointing loss for BH fans and a few BH players. I'm not sure what to think about this one. It reminded me a little of the KP game at the plate. You would have thought there would have been a playoff atmosphere from a BH team that controlled it's own destiny to win the district title. But it sure didn't seem that way from watching this one. It looked more like a preseason game with nothing on the line. No emotion, no sense of urgency, no excitement and very poor at bats the entire night. On the positive side, BH did play solid defense and got a very good pitching performance from Jay Burditt. Burditt would retire the Crosby hitters in order for the first 3 innings. BH would have one of only 2 scoring opportunities of the night in the first inning after a 2-out single from Colby Henscey which would turn out to be the only hit of the night for BH. Burditt would walk and after a passed ball the runners would advance to 2nd and 3rd. Lyday would be unable to bring in a run with a groundout to SS to end the threat. Burditt would run into trouble in the 4th inning after giving up a leadoff double and the next hitter reaching on what appeared to be a blown call from the field umpire on a routine 4-3 groundout. The next hitter would single to right to drive in the first run for Crosby. Burditt would get a strikeout for the first out and Padgett would make a great diving catch in center for the 2nd out. The next hitter would single on an 0-2 count to load the bases. After getting an 0-2 count on the next hitter, for some reason BH would call for a pitch in the dirt. The hitter laid off of the pitch and the runner at 3rd would score when Ponder would be unable to block the pitch. Burditt would strike out the same hitter on an outside pitch on the next pitch to end the top of the 4th with Crosby leading 2-0. BH would have it's best scoring opportunity in the bottom of the inning. Colby Henscey would draw a leadoff walk. Burditt would reach on a 6-4 FC for the 1st out. BH would load the bases with 1 out after a Lyday walk and Ponder would reach on an error by the 3rd baseman. Rocha would hit a ground ball to the 1st baseman who would throw to home for the force out. The throw was high and wide up the 3rd base line but for some reason Burditt chose not to slide and would be tagged out on the shoulder with the swipe tag from the catcher for the 2nd out. The inning would end with the bases loaded with a strikeout from Clifton. Crosby would tack on 1 more run with a couple of singles and a stolen base in the 6th to end the scoring.

PITCHING

Burditt - 7 ip, 5 hits, 3 runs, 2 bb, 4 k

OFFENSE (Almost none)

Henscey - 1 for 2, bb

WoW if you could make this write-up just a little uglier it just might help.

You've heard the phrase "It is what it is". I didn't make anything ugly. That's how it happened. The truth hurts sometimes! Maybe you have a different take on how the game went down. I'm not sure how to make a 1 hit performance from our hitters pretty. Maybe you can enlighten me.

Sounds like more of a personal problem to me. You sounds as if those boys didn't even try to hit the ball. Everyone of those boys wanted to win that game it's just a shame that they did not live up to your expectations.

Rip-You always do a good job of recapping the BH games.  Keep up the good work.

On another post someone said Barbers Hill has one pitcher and one hitter and they would'nt be at the top if this was so, well IMO the hill has the talent to beat anybody and seems to me the root cause is lack of hitting and pitching instruction. That one pitcher Pitched went well enough and the defence is very good on most nights. Its the offence that is either hot or cold that kills this team. All of their hitters have the potential to go long and on most swings make an attempt to do so. To many kids have their hands to high and don't keep their hands and the bat head in the zone long enough to make contact. The talent is there the adjustment is not, and with failure brings frustration, one big win could put this team on a roll while one more loss will be the end of their high school career. So what adjustments must be made to your kids performance or what kid will step up with some enthusiasm and push this team to win on Thursday? Work on your own kids weakness and tell him at least play these last games at 110% and have some faith the man upstairs will let the best team bubble to the top. Go BH and play @ 110% and we will see KP again before this thing is over.

BH 12    DAYTON 1

BH finishes district at least tied for 1st with a 10-4 record

This was a great finish to the district schedule for BH. This would be a repeat of the pitching match up that was rained out a couple of weeks ago with Burditt for BH and Smesny for Dayton on the mound. Burditt pitched 5 strong innings for the win, giving up only 4 hits and Peterson pitched 2 strong innings in relief. BH would score 12 runs on 13 hits. BH took an early 1-0 lead in the 1st inning on a 2-out rbi single from Lyday to score Carmona who was hit by a pitch. The big inning would come in the top of the 3rd. After a pop up to shortstop, Colby Henscey would get things started with a mammoth solo HR that would clear the lights above the 355 ft. sign in left center (This would be Henscey's 4th HR in the last 5 games). Burditt would follow that by reaching on an error and after a fly ball out to center, Ponder would come through with a 2 out ground rule double to left putting runners at 2nd and 3rd. Alex Rocha would come up with the big hit, clearing the bases with a 2-out 3-run HR to left field giving BH an insurmountable 5-0 lead. BH would tack on 4 runs in the 5th. Lyday and Ponder walked, Rocha would come through again with a 2-run double to left. Clifton would reach on a single. Rocha and Clifton would both end up scoring on wild pitches to make the score 9-0 after the 5th. Both Smesny and Burditt would be pulled from the game after the 5th inning. BH would add a run in the 6th with a Carmona single followed by an rbi double down the left field line by Henscey. Dayton would score it's lone run in the 6th off of 2 errors and 1 hit but the threat would end with a nice 6-4-3 double play from Carmona and Clifton. BH would score it's final 2 runs in the 7th after a walk to Rocha, an rbi single from Clifton, and an rbi double down the left field line from Peterson.

BH  13    VIDOR  3

BH leads series 1-0

This was a great start to the playoffs for BH. Jay Burditt would get the start on the mound and would give BH a solid 6 innings of work only allowing 2 earned runs on 4 hits and striking out 6. Vidor would put up 2 runs in the 1st inning on 2 hits and a walk. BH would come right back in the bottom of the 1st. Padgett led off with a walk and stole 2nd. Carmona followed that with an infield single to move Padgett to 3rd. Henscey would plate Padgett with a sac. fly to left field. Burditt would walk moving Carmona to 2nd and Lyday would follow that with an RBI single scoring Carmona. BH would end up leaving the bases loaded making the score 2-2 after 1 inning. The score would remain that way until the 5th inning. Vidor would start the inning with the leadoff reaching 2nd courtesy of an error on a fly ball to right. A groundout would move the runner to 3rd, and a single would give Vidor a 3-2 lead after Burditt would end the rally with a bases loaded strikeout. BH would unload on Vidor in the btm. of the 5th bringing 10 hitters to the plate. Henscey would start things off with a single and Burditt would move him to 2nd with a sac. bunt. Lyday would single to left scoring Henscey with the tying run. Lyday would go to 2nd on the throw to home from the left fielder. Jake Ponder would give BH the lead for good on the next pitch with a towering blast to left field for a 2-run HR. That would only be the beginning of what would become a hit parade. Rocha with a triple, Clifton walked, and then Matt Peterson would unload with a 3-run blast of his own over the left center field wall to give BH an 8-3 lead after the 5th. Vidor would go down in order in the 6th and BH would tack on 5 more runs on 5 hits to end the game with a 10 run win. The big hit again would come from Ponder with a 2-run HR, his 2nd of the game. A huge night at the plate from BH with 13 runs on 15 hits with 3 of those hits being HRs. BH will play in Vidor Friday night at 5 pm hoping to close the series out and move on to the area round of the playoffs.

BH 1  VIDOR 6

Bi-District series tied 1-1

BH got in a hole early and never could recover. Padgett would lead the game off with a hard single to left and would end up at 2nd with a misplay from the left fielder. BH would be unable to advance the runner after a pop-up in the infield, a fly ball to center, and a strikeout. Alex Rocha would get the start for BH on the mound, and he would run into trouble immediately. The leadoff hitter would rip a double into the left field corner, the next hitter would single him home. Rocha would get a 6-3 groundout from the next hitter but would give up consecutive rbi singles after that to give Vidor the early 3-0 lead with 1 out and a runner on 1st. Matt Peterson would come on in relief. He would hit the first 2 batters he faced to load the bases. Vidor would get a sac fly from the next hitter driving in the 4th run of the inning. Peterson would get a pop up to SS to end the inning with BH trailing 4-0. Lyday would reach on an error to start the 2nd, but would be left at 1st base after a strikeout, flyball to left, and a groundout to 1st. Vidor would add 1 run to their lead in the 2nd when Peterson would again hit the first batter he faced. A sac bunt and single would move the runner to 3rd, and a sac fly would bring him home giving Vidor a 5-0 lead after 2 innings. BH would again leave a runner stranded in scoring position in the 4th inning with a bit of bad luck. Colby Henscey would lead off the inning by ripping a double into the right center power alley. Jay Burditt would rip a line drive just to the right of 2nd base that normally would have been an rbi single at worst, but ended up being a double play because of the 2nd baseman being at the base holding Henscey on. He would catch the line drive and step on 2nd base for the double play. Daniel Mitchell would come on to pitch the final 3 innings for BH allowing one run. BH would again threaten in the 6th inning with their best opportunity of the game. Colby Henscey would once again lead off the inning by ripping a double into the left field corner. Henscey would move to 3rd on a groundout from Burditt. Lyday would score Henscey with an RBI single. Ponder would come through by ripping a double of his own into the left field corner giving BH runners at 2nd and 3rd with 1 out. Both runners would be stranded there after a Rocha strikeout, and a 4-3 groundout from Clifton. Vidor would get the run back in the bottom of the 6th after a walk, a hit batter, and an rbi double to make the final score 6-1.

BH 10   VIDOR 1

BH wins the Bi-District Championship 2 games to 1!

Barbers Hill would get a little bit of everything from a team that refused to bow out of the playoffs. We had outstanding poise, confidence, and composure on the mound, timely and clutch hitting from our lineup and a ton of heart from a player playing through some pain. Barbers Hill got an outstanding pitching performance from our starting SS Tony Carmona. Carmona would pitch a complete game 2 hitter, allowing only 1 run while striking out 8. Carmona was in command of the game from start to finish only allowing the runner that scored to reach 3rd base on the night. It looked like BH would take an early lead with both Padgett and Carmona leading off with bunt singles giving BH runners at 1st and 2nd with no outs. Colby Henscey would absolutely hammer a line drive that would have went to the fence scoring both runners but for the 2nd game in a row a runner would be doubled off at 2nd. The shortstop for Vidor would make a leaping grab of the line drive and would throw to 2nd to double off Padgett. After that the game would remain scoreless through the first 3 innings but things would change in a big way in the 4th. Colby Henscey would start the inning with a leadoff single. Burditt would push a bunt between the pitcher and first baseman for a hit moving Henscey to 2nd. Lyday would reach on an infield bloop hit that would land between the pitcher's mound and 2nd base to load the bases. Jake Ponder would come through with the big hit of the night, absolutely crushing a 1-0 fastball over the left center wall for the grand slam giving BH all the runs they would need. That was just the beginning of a huge inning for BH. Barbers Hill would score 10 runs on 10 hits in the inning. Rocha would follow Ponder's HR with a double down the right field line. Clifton would reach on an infield hit when nobody covered first on his bunt, leaving runners at 1st and 3rd and still no outs. Matt Peterson would come up and rip a 2-run double to the wall in left giving BH a 6-0 lead and still no outs. Padgett would reach on an error by the SS putting runners at 1st and 3rd. Carmona would single bringing in Peterson and putting runners at 1st and 2nd still with no outs making the lead 7-0. Colby Henscey would come up for the 2nd time in the inning and would come up with his 2nd hit in the inning ripping a 2-run double into the left field corner making the score 9-0. Burditt would get his 2nd infield hit of the inning, moving Henscey to 3rd base. Lyday would ground out to 3rd for the first out of the inning but Henscey would score on the play. Ponder would fly out to center and Rocha would ground out to 3rd to end the inning. Eleven consecutive hitters would reach base in the inning with 10 of them scoring before the 1st out was recorded. Needless to say that would be more than enough for Carmona to finish the game. Vidor would score their only run in the top of the 5th to make the final score 10-1. I was very impressed with the performance of this group of kids and the desire to compete and lay it on the line. This was a group of kids that were not only playing for themselves but they were playing for each other. Jake Ponder had the big hit of the night but I was more impressed with his gesture of appreciation for the performance of a teammate. Coach Stalbaum gave Ponder the game ball for his tremendous blast in the 4th inning but Jake felt that a teammate deserved that ball more than himself. Jake awarded the ball with a big hug to teammate Colby Henscey who played the entire game at SS for Carmona who was pitching. This was only the 2nd time that starting LF Henscey  has played SS this year, but his performance was all the more impressive knowing that he played the entire game almost in tears from the excruciating pain he was experiencing from a migraine that started at the end of the first game. This wasn't something that would show up in the scorebook, but it is what being a team is all about. You have a player that lays it all on the line for his team and everyone on that team is aware of what he is doing and they show their appreciation both during and after the game. Great job boys and I can't wait to watch you guys against Brenham!
