Shelby Easter Tournament

Squid....

I love ya man...get em fired up for the big game.

Should be a heck of a ball game!

 

Squid.....luv ya man

You would think CC is that way, but their players are far from it. They're tougher than the steaks I cook. I don't think the SC fans will bother them at all. They've played a lot of games where the hometown teams weren't overly friendly

 

CC 4 South Caldwell 0

Bard was dominant, 2 hits given up I believe.

 

Madras it is

what can I say? I guess Bard was pretty gritty, eh?:banginghe

 

What? no radar gun readings from this one? lol

 

CCS 4 SC 0

Bard was steadly at 88/89 and he also hit 91 five or six times through out the game and he was dominant

CCS came out and jumped on SC. The score may not have shown it but the Knights knocked the ball around the park the entire night. SC is a legitamate team but they just werent the better team tonight they will have a good rest of the season but if there was any team in question of heart and so called grittyniss it was SC tonight. They got out executed, out hit, and mostly out played. Congrats to the Knights and good luck to both teams on the rest of the season.

 

2 cents worth from the new member...saw the big game tonight and was very impressed with CCS..from what I hear...small school with LOTS of talent. Pitching looked great, and was impressed with the "team" effort....every good pitcher knows that the back up is worth as much as strike outs!! CCS seemed to have it all....loved the attitude and fight in the club...very impressed. As an old guy...like seeing this kind of play...hitting looked good...they guys seemed to know their job and executed...even the sacs that aren't noted are important in a game like this one. Loved the game and hate it for the guys that were 19-0, but sometimes a loss is the best thing for a team...congrats to the whole gang over at CCS....

Def. class act!!

 

Yeah...but his dad was wearing those madras pants

I said it yesterday and I repeat...those guys can battle with the best of them...and Jared Bard is a warrior. After they got over their initial "senioritis", they can beat anyone
