Ironton softball 2021

[captainmorgan_]

This team lost a lot of seniors that didnt get to play out their last season. What will the team look like this year. Who plays where? Will they make a deep tournament run? How far will they go?

[captainmorgan_]

Anyone?

Ironton returns the District Player of the Year who is a talented pitcher, I believe already committed to Ohio U. Yep, they lost a good pool of seniors but if they can hit a little bit the pitcher will keep them in most of the games they play.

Getting a ride is OU is huge . I havent seen her throw in 2 years , but she was definetly dominate . Hard for hitters around here to handle a rise , not many throw one , let alone a real good one

[Areukidinme]

Burg and Ironton for district dominance this year. Can the Ironton pitcher stop the Burg offense? Will be an instant classic.

[ManitouDan]

I've lost track of Burgs grads with the missing season . Anyone venture a starting line up ? Lots of the 12u LL WS champs are now freshman , or Soph's ??

I think it depends on what else ironton has. You have to score to win. The pitcher isn’t un-hittable.

I was talking to a couple of the Burg girls last night and there were like 7-8 that play top level travel ball...Hughes, Sturgill, Eller, Eaton, Howard, Skiver, Myers. There’s also a couple with speed and another senior who plays travel ball that will probably contribute. Those are the ones I know of, no idea what a line up will look like but they should be loaded.

what other strong players will ironton have?

Ironton has a very good program and should be very successful in the upcoming tournament play.

Lost 2-1 in 16 innings to Portsmouth Notre Dame . Ironton threw Moore the entire 16 innings for a total of 236 pitches . So I was told ,sorry if incorrect.

A bunch of innings to throw in a meaningless game

[ColdHardTruth]

I thought the same thing, by both teams.

At least ND split it up between 2 pitchers

[ColdHardTruth]

True. 12 innings on any pitcher this late in the season is risky though.

Agree

[ManitouDan]

If 12 is risky how should we describe 16 ?

[SE_Ohio_Athletics]

Some of these crazy travel ball people play multiple games in one day and a pitcher could pitch far more than 12 innings in one day in the big tournaments. I can see both sides of the argument though.
