Plus, mental mistakes which should not happen this late in the season.danicalifornia wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2023 10:55 pm Game could still be going to Meigs was able to make some plays behind Stewart. The Indians jumped on Stewart early in counts to limit strikeouts, which kept his pitch count way down. But, with only 4 strikeouts, it forced the Marauders to make plays, but with 4 errors it led to a pair of unearned runs.
Arnett was lights out for Valley, with 12 Ks and soft contact throughout.
Stewart was good. Arnett was gooder.danicalifornia wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2023 10:55 pm Game could still be going to Meigs was able to make some plays behind Stewart.

That 100% is an earned run. Just good baseball on Valley's part and heads up baserunning by Buckle.Crab's Brother wrote: ↑Wed May 24, 2023 9:28 amStewart was good.

I am guessing the official scorer may have ruled the first Valley run as unearned, but I am not sure how.
Buckle leads off with a hit. Rideout puts down a good bunt and Buckle never stops coming to 3rd. Rideout was initially ruled safe on the drop, but it was changed to an out on the transfer. The kid dropping the ball on a transition to throw at a runner already headed to 3rd, isn't an error in my opinion. Copley follows with a hard liner/fly ball to left that scores Buckle.
Hit....bunt and a baseball play....Sac fly. I think it is an earned run, but either way, Valley found a way and will play for a 3rd straight district title tomorrow.
Arnett is gooder at a lot of things athletically, always has been. Congrats to the Tribe and SOC.Crab's Brother wrote: ↑Wed May 24, 2023 9:28 amStewart was good.

Boys missing speed training is what cost them.MarauderMadness wrote: ↑Wed May 24, 2023 8:43 am Its no surprise. Daddy ball loses out again. The Mud daubers had a chance to make a run behind a future MLB pitcher. But, we didnt have the intelligence to put T on the staff. Our run production doubles with his knowledge. Plus he has trained these boys and knows what they can do. Too many nights of everybody else on the team waiting for Stewart to do something bit them in the butt.
