baseball 3rd round

Weyco2000 - saw on another website ER 4 MP 2 as a final. Don't know for sure just saw the score.

 

Glenn over Davie

Glenn beat Davie 3-0 to advance to round 4. Pearl pitched a complete gane shutout.He hit spots all night.He is not over powering but he pitched well. Glenn loaded the bases in the 5th and Ryan Parker hit a ground ball to 2nd to drive in the 1st run. With men on 2nd and 3rd Andrew Smith singled to left to drive in the other 2.Glenn only managed 4 hits.Jason Smith had a double and Parks Jordan had a single as well as Pearl.

 

East Rowan-4 over Mt.Pleasant-2

HAHA, leave it up to someone from NW to think 1 means 2 . Score was never 2-0 MP, it was 1-0 for about 4 innings, but ER tied it in 4th then went ahead in 6th. It was a great game and great hotdog. MP outhit ER but stranded too many runners. ER once again showed their pitching depth by using 4 different pitchers, all of them as good as the last.

East Rowan 4...Mt. Pleasant 2

It was a great HS game between East Rowan and Mt. Pleasant, played in a great setting at Staton Field in Granite Quarry. A hard rain fell for a few minutes to delay the start and MP got things going early off Thomas Allen. Three first inning singles plated one run and then Allen got the MP batter to take strike three on the outside corner with two runners in scoring position...a call that the MP coaches clearly thought was ball four. Allen was pulled early and two ER relievers (Alex Bost & Will Johnson) pitched very well over the next four innings.

Grayson Atwood cruised through the first three innings for MP, not allowing a hit, but ran into two-out trouble in the 4th inning, giving up back to back doubles to Noah Holmes and Andy Austin (both with two strikes).

The 1-1 tie carried into the 6th inning and then things got very interesting. ER reliever Bradley Robbins came in with two on and no outs in the 6th inning and his tailing fastball nailed the MP batter in the thigh as he was squared to sacrifice bunt, loading the bases with no outs. The ER coach appealed that the batter offered at the pitch and the call was eventually reversed, with the batter subsequently striking out. With two outs, the MP batter drove a smash up the middle that Robbins snagged and retired the runner to end the inning and save the go ahead run from scoring.

In the bottom of the sixth, Preston Troutman unloaded a no-doubter to RF that brought the ER crowd to its feet and just that quickly, all ER needed to win was three outs in the 7th....but there was more to come, as Will Sapp followed with another bomb and that ended Atwood's evening. Then Nathan Fulbright stroked an RBI double after a teammate got on base for an insurance run. MP rallied in the bottom of the 7th with a walk and a single and no outs, but could only eventually muster a run on a groundout. Robbins tailing fastball came into play again in the 7th as he retired an MP batter who screwed himself into the ground trying to escape the fastball riding in on him, only to have his bat strike the ball as he was in his escape maneuver, yielding a tap out to the pitcher.

Game ended 4-2....may have broke some records for balls used in one game. Wet conditions and the most foul balls I have ever seen must have made it a 4-dozen evening for the home team. Also, saw way more coach/umpire "discussions" than normal....just reflecting the intensity of the game. Umpires did a great job and even reversed two calls on themselves after consulting with one another. I was amazed to see a 327 ft sign hanging in the left-center power alley...wow!

 

Please don't confuse tj with texting and tweeting. He's still trying to figure out how to use quotes in his reples.
