TBR member's sons 2011 season

Congrats to Grrrr... We are all proud of him

 

Gman....he did one hell of a job yesterday! Wish I could have seen that!! He's having a great senior year thus far! Hope to see you at the ball field sometime this spring!

 

Thanks, as always, for your encouragement.

 

And I just realized this was in the college baseball forum! Sorry.

 

Asheville wins today also, 7-6. Coach Smith has them playing well.

 

as Paul Harvey used to say... "now, for the rest of the story"

The Bulldogs tied up the game in the bottom of the 9th to send it into extras. Then had to score 2 in the bottom of the 11th to tie it up again. In the bottom of the 12th with the bases loaded with 2 outs Catlin Carter, Ragsdale '07/Dirtbags scored the winning run on a Nick Collazo base hit.

 

ECU - or as I like to call them - The Cardiac Kids

Yea..I'm a little proud of my boy (and the boys!).

 

my son is a freshman pitcher/outfielder at Surry CC. His name is keith Prowse (Hopewell High school). Keith has been pitching in a closer role and has 12 Ks in only 6 innings pitched. Keith is 2-0 in save situations and also has a win for a 1-0 record as he pitched middle relief with the score tied to get the win. With 12 Ks he leads the team with strike outs to innings pitched. Keith has gotten with a great pitching coach at surry in coach Anthony. The knights now have a 21-7 record and still playing very well under their skipper Coach Lowe.

 

You are correct about Coach Anthony. My son had him as a pitching coach one summer and loved him.

 

I want to congratulate my son, Daniel Whitecavage (Hopewell High School) the Catcher for Surry Community College for his batting average of .444, slg .741 and 3 game average of .500. He has hit 12 RBI's with 27 ab's. This last weekend he went 3-6 with 3 doubles and 4 RBI's. GO KNIGHTS!!! We are really PROUD of OUR SON!!!
