Wooster wins 11-8. 2 out walhoff grand slam by Johnson.

Coach P gets tossed. Is he able to coach the next game?

[ScotsFan]

HOLY COW!!!

With Wooster down to their last strike, sophomore Matt Johnson hits a walk off grand slam to keep the Scots alive for another game!!!   

Final (13):

Wooster - 11
RHIT - 8

Routine ending.  Bottom of the thirteenth, Wooster down one, three of Wooster's coaches get tossed, then Matt Johnson unveils a grand salami for the win!!!!

[transydad]

Two questions. Why didnt wooster bunt with no one out and man on first. The single would of scored him with the win. Then the batters interference doesn't matter. Are the coaches allowed to coach in the next game and if not who is the head coach. I think this hurts wooster. Anyway great game good win wooster.

Transydad,
            Wooster is above bunting and playing text book baseball. We play for grand slams.(tongue in cheek comment)

Coach P seems to have a disdain for going by the book. More times than not, he opens himself up to be questioned on his coaching moves.

I would also like to know if he is suspended for a game because of being ejected.

Wooster's lack of bunting and moving runners in the late innings wasn't a factor, as they won the game.  I'm sure just about 90% of teams would've bunted though.

Very suprising that Samson is pitching the game right now against Heidelberg.  He just threw over 8 innings on Wed.  Can't be good for his arm, unless he's only going to go a certain number of innings and then be relieved by Johnny Whole Staff. (I know it's an elimination game and all, but his arm has got to be shot).

I don't like them using Samson at all.  He pitched 8+ with 120+ pitches on Wednesday.  That's one day off.  You just don't do that.

Agreed...

agree.  I was thinking he would come back and throw tomorrow in the Championship on 2 days rest.  Then again, maybe he wanted the ball, and this being his Sr. year, there's no holding back.....I still would've held him and maybe used him for two innings in relief.

I agree with you guys my son is a pitcher and I wouldn't want him to pitch again either. But you have to give the kid credit he is pitching a heck of a game so far.

Scoreless through 5.

Nothing less would be expected in a win or go home game between the region's top 2 seeds!

Thomas is working a one hitter for Heide and Samson has held the Student Prince  (NOT Princes as we were told by Ken Nemeth is the proper way it is now said) to 3 hits.  Think there might be a little pressure at the plate being seen by both teams? 

[mideastfan2]

I'm not sure either offense wants it bad enough tonight....looks like they re definitely cautious and tight at the plate, trying to avoid the mistake instead of being aggresive and making something happen.

HEID gets the leadoff double in the bottom of the 7th, but DOESN'T move him over and in.....that could be very costly.

still socreless heading to the 9th!!

***** side note - this is the first time I've listenned to the Wooster broadcast, and you guys are right.....just brutal

[woosterbooster]

Mideast Fan -

Are you kidding?  You're listening to Ken Nemeth, the GOOD announcer!    He probably finally had the Terre Haute mafia drag Dave Dial off to some dive bar.  And from what I've read about that burg, they have plenty of them.

[mideastfan2]

lol...the good one , huh?  wow; I guess I'm used to listenning to our Marietta guys.  I couldn't imagine what the other guy must've been like.

Nemeth just spent that half inning apoligizing for not being prepared over and over again, and it took him awhile to figure out Sankal was on first...lol.....oh well, at least there is live Audio to listen to!!!!

The funny thing is, this is arguably Samson's best outing this season.  What a valiant effort by Samson on one day's rest!

To be fair, Nemeth is the station manager and he is retiring.  Although, he said that he might be open to continuing doing the Scots baseball play by play.  Thank god he doesn't do Scots hoops!
