Ronnie Lebrie is listed 3 times on this list.  How exactly are these rankings determined?

I have no idea why Breedlove pitched 8 inngings.  I don't think any arms are sore.   West was in the bullpen throwing  for about five innings.

NCWC is by far the best hitting  team that HSC has faced.  If you looked at their stats going into the game, they had a team batting avg of .331 with 10 different palyers hitting over 300.  Also, they have 10 different players that have hit home runs.  They are extremely fast and used that ability against HSC and had several bunts for hits.  Overall, Hodges pitched pretty well.  He has seen limited action in part because he missed 2 weeks with a sore arm.  The other two starts he made, he pitched only 3 inn in one game and 1 inn in the second game.  That was predetermined before the games started.  I think he was limited to the five innings yesterday to try to get his arm strenght back up to where it was before he hurt his arm.   He left a few pitches up in the zone yesterday and NCWC took advantage of that.

I have missed three games this year.  There has been several occasions where a runner has been thrown out trying to steal third and then the next batter gets a hit that would have scored him from second. (I know coach Kinney has addressed this and it seems to be under control now).  I have seen a runner on second base advance to third on a hit and stop not even aware that the ball got by the oufielder.  He would have tied the score and HSC loses by one.  Fly ball to deep right center and runner not in position to tag up and advance to third. Next batter gets a hit to left field and the runner does not score. Would have been the winning run.  HSC loses in extra innings. There have been several other times that smart base running would have allow HSC to tie or win the game.

Lawson only pitched two innings in the Greensboro game.  Michael Blanchard pitched the last inning.  HSC problem is not the pitching. HSC has scored 4 runs or less in 14 of their 21 games.  They have not hit in the clutch and have left a lot of runners on base.  Besides the lack of hitting they have lost several games directly related to poor base running.

It looks like H-SC is heading back to Farmville with a >:( face as the Tigers dropped a 3-2 ball game to the Pride from Greensboro. Just as Hornet7 said in an earlier post, they will probably pitch by committee....8 pitchers held the Tigers to 6 hits. Transfer Matt Daniel ( E&H) and fr Andrew Lawson pitched well for the Tigers. Lawson has pitched well in limited duty. I'm not sure why he hasn't be used a little more than others?. Once again the lack of timley hitting hurt their chances of winning a game. They are playing hard and competing...I think their fortune will change sooner than later. The Tigers finished 1-2 on their Carolina swing.

How fast were the freshmen throwing?

Actually you do assume that the fielder could make the out on the batter.  That is why it is called a fielder's "choice".  The two runs in the second were unearned.  The fielder's choice would have been the third out.  All runs scoring after that would be unearned.

E6 is error by shortstop.  E4 is error by 2nd baseman.  If the play by play is correct, then there was only one earned run.

The transfer rule does not go into effect until next year.  Also, I don't think it applies unless you transfer from D1 to D1.

kscer- rumors are that the Patnode kid transfered to McNeese St. a DI school down south.
McNeese State roster.

Of course, he would have to sit out a year in transferring from D-III to D-I.

Any schools have freshmen that will contribute right away?

I said probably and I'm not saying that they will have the rookie of the year this year but I believe it is the best overall recruiting class they have had in a long time.  They also have a 2nd baseman that transferred from a school up north (not sure which school) but he played in the Cape Cod summer league this past summer.  The only thing with NCWC that may be a concern would be their starting pitching since they lost their top two guys from last year.  They will be and outstanding hitting team and they will be extremely fast.  I think they have about 15 freshmen recruits in all.

NCWC has probably got the best group of freshmen they have ever had.  They will be much much stronger than they were last year.  They have 4 starters from 3A Northern Nash high school that  made it to the state semifinals before losing to eventual state champion C B Aycock.  The positions of the Northern Nash starters was 1st base, cf,rf,ss and also the closer.  In addition, they also have the starting 2nd baseman and lf from CB Aycock.  They also have two quality lh freshman pitchers.  They have other recruits as well but I am not as familiar with them.
