West Orange-Stark vs. Little Cypress-Mauriceville Game Thread/LC-M wins 6-1!

[Rake1]

Coach Landry should be proud of an EXTREMELY young team for their performance last night. 3 freshmen started for the Mustangs and 2 of them pitched during the game. Pushing a team like LCM as far as WOS did has to be a big confidence builder for the younger players. The LCM faithful were scratching their heads for most of the game waiting for the Bears to break out, which they finally did in the 6th and 7th innings. The youth movement for the Mustangs will suffer some bumps along the road this season but it looks like Coach Landry has them pointed in a positive direction. Should be fun to watch in the future.

I know of 3 Freshmen for sure, there could be more. The Anderson twins, Aiden(sp?) and Grant along with Chase Rutledge started. I think it was Aiden on the hill, Grant catching, and Rutledge at SS to begin the game. If there are more Freshmen starting I apologize for not mentioning their names.

Very impressive for Coach Landry to have that team playing the way they did last night. Bright future ahead for the Mustangs.

Is WO-S better then recent years or is LC-M not as good as people gave them credit? WO-S had every chance to win untill the end it looks like.

Way too early to make that call! Looked like a combination of many things to me. Extended layoff due to rain, cold, maybe under estimated WOS, lack of on field and live game reps, BBCOR, and certainly the fact that WOS played hard and smart baseball. Make no mistake, LCM is talented and has some really good, young, power arms for sure. Like all the other teams who are behind schedule right now, give them a few games and then make a determination. My guess is both LCM and WOS do just fine.

No worries! I was "AT" the game and was scratching my head as well! Nothing like early season baseball.

What box score are you refering to? I couldn't find anything on it in the paper.

[lionbaseball]

Well just seeing the updates from the game i guess not technically a box score lol

Mustang pitching looked good.  Those young guys will only get better as time goes. 

Neither team hit the ball too well.  I think LCM had 7 hits including a couple of doubles, but did strike out 7 times.

The mustangs had two hits and only put three balls in play while striking out 16 times.
