[FONT=times new roman, new york, times, serif]Starting pitcher Grey Wordsworth never made it out of the first. Tallahassee took advantage of walks, wild pitches and hit batters to grab 7 runs in the first. Warren Harvey relieved Wordsworth and he was relieved by Jesse Wilborne, who inherited two outs with bases loaded, but came in and registered the final out to get things moving to the 2nd.[/FONT]

[FONT=times new roman, new york, times, serif]Greenville answered in the 3rd, with 4 runs and 2 more in the 4th and 5th innings, but Tallahassee answered with 3 of it's own in the 5th and 6th to finalize the scoring and to take the win.[/FONT]

Good luck to your boys tomorrow. Tallahassee won the SE Regional last year they are solid. Did they throw a tall lefty?

 

No lefty, that I know of. What I heard was the first inning was just a bust, giving up 7 runs and only one hit...lol Simply can't put yourself in a position of allowing 7 unearned runs up front. Good job coming back, but not enough in the tank to win it today. Lots of hard hit line outs. Winning three in a row isn't impossible, as this is their first loss. Just have to wait and see who shows up and where the balls fall! I know the boys were very frustrated, as they know they lost one they had no business losing... but hey, it's a learning thing too...lol Should be an interesting Monday, for sure.

 

Greenville will play Leesburg this morning at 10.

I know these guys want another crack at Tallahassee, so should be a good day of gritty ball.

 

Babe Ruth 14's in Alabama

(Just a side note on BR 14s) Lumberton-BorderBelt 14s were eliminated from their SE Region. After a two day rain delay, Lumberton lost to TN on Sat. In losers bracket beat WNC on Sat. Beat GA on Sun. and lost to NFL on Sun. This is also basically (a few changes here and there) the same team that also won the ENC State Championship as 13 yr olds and went to the World Series in Dixie Youth before that.
