Excited to share the project I’ve been working on for the last month.
This is Simon. He enjoys eating, sleeping, and screaming into my face/ears/soul. We love him already.
Thru 6 innings: Stillwater 6, Diesel 5
Thru 8 innings: Diesel 12, Stillwater 8
Thru 8.5: Stillwater 14, Diesel 12
Diesel scored 2 in bottom 9 to tie it
Stillwater scores 1 in top 10, leads 15-14
Diesel walk off 2 run single in bottom 10 to win 16-15 and move to 1-1 in pool play.
Great to finally play @TriCityShark in a game that had nothing weird happen...like ambulance & sprinkler delays, or an ejection, or 14 innings, or playing until 1am, or a 214 pitch outing. Shark, make some noise this weekend. All our best to Mark.
A little history made tonight: Ray Noble (center) the first ever to play, coach and umpire in the Class A State Tournament. Behind the dish for game one tonight. #classAtourney
Stop us when you have heard this before. State starts today as the Shark take on @KFDiesel at 8:30PM with the winner taking on @PubBaseball on Saturday. Rumor has it the O/U was set at 20 this year.
The Diesel clinch back-to-back state tourney berths with back-to-back complete game victories: 4-3 by @coach_germain and 9-3 by Nate Erickson. The 2 pitchers combine to give up just 12 hits, 3 walks and 6 runs in 18 innings.
Wes @coach_germain picked up the win over North End. 4 of the first 6 batters he faced recorded a hit, but from that point on, he retired 15 of the final 16 batters he faced, including 10 of those final 16 by strike out.
The Diesel opened the season this past Thursday with a 14-1 victory over North End. All 10 players that got an AB recorded a hit, and the Diesel totaled 16 hits.
This year’s state champion will be the first to hoist the ‘Kirk Ingram Cup’, the traveling trophy for the Class A. The Cup features all 32 Class A Champions and has room for another 40 years. #History#classA
@KFDiesel vs. @TriCityShark will bat leadoff for the 2018 Class A State Tournament. A rematch of the 2016 winner’s bracket semifinal that was so epic, it had to be played over two days. Come out and see what will happen this year. Thursday 8/9, 6pm at Dunning.
