You want to do the updates? I'm not fast enough to write down everything, feel free...…...

[ManitouDan2]

Obviously Moore is fantastic .. inning by inning strike out updates is way over the top

[Prime Time]

She’s a great player. Legit all state player and best pitcher in all southeastern Ohio. I find nothing wrong with it, and like the updates, no problem here.

[SoftballAlways]

No update...hearing Leesburg scored 3 in the 7th to take lead...

I didn't see anyone else jumping in to do updates, guess I'll leave it up to you all from now on......OUT.

Post deleted due to hurt feelings.

But yes hopefully we get to see a Burg and Ironton matchup next season

[ohbuckeye2]

Would have loved for Burg to have been able to go up against her. I don’t doubt she’s the best pitcher around, but would like to see her up against some of the best hitters around. Hughes went yard off of White twice Saturday.

Maybe next year!!

Please keep on this topic. Great year for the tigers.

Congrats to Ironton. Such a pleasure to watch. Keep your heads up. A lot of great softball ahead for this team. Moore is great. Does not look like a freshman out there. What seniors did Ironton lose?

[captainmorgan_]

i agree, Ironton and Wheelersburg would be a great game next year. Moore up against Sturgill, Hughes, Wheelersburg is loaded with good hitters. Do they also return most of their starters?

[ManitouDan2]

Burg loses one of their better hitters .. Claxon , and I'm not convinced Burg is loaded with good hitters .. they have two great ones that were mentioned .. but placed against good pitching I'm not convinced the rest of the lineup is that great. Solid , sure . good enough to continue the run of domination in the SOC2 , probably so.. But against Moore or other higher level pitchers ? I'm not totally convinced . Time will tell , they are young and can improve for sure

[longball]

Eller was very impressive for Burg. Switch hitter with speed that can slap or hit from the right side.

2 of there best hitters
Risner was a 4 year starter. Very good lead off hitter and a heck of a centerfielder

How good is Ironton offensively?

How good is Ironton offensively?

I'm not sure , not seen them play enough , but if they want to go deep and make a state run they need to greatly increase the quality of the schedule . The more you see good pitching the better chance you have to scratch out a few runs in a regional final or final 4 game. They have a few kids used to seeing good pitching in the summer but the more threats you have that are not close to certain outs the more complete your lineup is . They have the pitching , need to sure up the D and try to get a little more complete on offense . Going to be a beast in SEO , go go to final 4 with even a small bit of improvement

I was trying to make a point before an adult decided to blast a kid on here which is gone now, thankfully... The only comparison I know between Burg and Ironton offensively is against White... Burg had twice as many hits, 5 earned runs.. Ironton only had one earned run. Williams and Bergan ( Burgs 7 and 8 ) each had a couple hits off of white... but on the flip side, Burg gave up 8 runs and Ironton only gave up 3.
