LCM vs Liberty
 
Game 1 Wednesday (4/24) at LCM 6:00
Game 2 Friday (4/26) at Liberty 4:30, Game 3 to follow if necessary.

Our local 22-4A teams may have to wait a but to see who they play.  21-4A is a mess and a tough one at that!  Splendora is the champ and will play our #4.  If Splendora beats Liberty tomorrow there will be a 3 way tie for 2nd, in which all the involved teams have split with each other and will have to play a round robin to determine 2nd, 3rd & 4th.  Those 3 teams are Liberty, Huffman and Livingston.

But using that same logic that he is not "in" the game, should the stolen base or run he scores count if he is not "in" the game?  Obviously it does and in a big game a fast courtesy runner being put in for a slow pitcher or catcher can completely change the outcome, so it has to count as participating.
 
Now I know that none of the outcomes of the BC games would have been any different, they have been beating everybody soundly!  But that may not be the case next year with any team in the area, and if there is no punishment handed down it sets a precedent that you should be able to break rules with no punishment for the future.  Now, do I think having to forfeit the games is a little harsh, absolutely.  But something has to be done to make sure everyone follows rules that are put in place for a reason.
 
Just my two cents which mean absolutely nothing!

So are certain baseball rules supposed to be taken serious & followed by Texas high school baseball coaches & others are not?  Does reporting a rule violation make a person, coach or school wrong for doing it? Is it better just to keep quiet & think its just a simple mistake because the coaches are dumb or it was no big effect on games?  Are certain coaches or teams off limits to question or report?  
Asking for a friend....

What is the punishment for this UIL rule violation? Does the UIL have a punishment in place for said violation or does the UIL leave it up to the District Committee to hand down the punishment. If it is left up to the District Committee and they hand down a punishment of a coaches suspension for how ever long is that going to deter any coach from doing it again so he can get a win? What is a strong enough punishment so this UIL rule not be broken again? Is it "hay I got suspended for a few games" or is it having to look in your players eyes knowing what you have done?  I don't know the number of games involved or the teams they may be involved, just rumors. I know that a precedent will be set by the UIL or District Committee and the next time this violation happens the one that breaks the rule will come back to this ruling.

Bingo!

Just going to throw this out there. Has anyone thought that it could be someone new to the district who hasn’t beat BC on the field in district?

What I was told is there is a player that was playing in the JV and Varsity games so he played way over the number of games allowed for a player in a season.

LCM wins 5-3

Have to say these two teams will be in the playoffs. Good game by both teams. Although each team played the umpires throughout the game they both played until the end. Never seen these umpires before and hopefully never again. 

Bears win 5-3

LCM 8 BC 0
Final

not enough runs!

LOL!  Okay, we get the point!

just trying to be funny, its been a long day.

I heard someone tell me today we would lose this game because they thought the Raiders would be clicking.... 

LCM wins 15-9.

LCM 6-0 Final

Not there anymore.  Bears are done for tonight.  Not sure of game times for tomorrow, think they are still working out schedule.  Will post when I hear something.

Correct, tournament in Liberty was cancelled and some of the teams are playing at LCM.  LCM just swept Cleveland in a DH and Tarkington is about to play Hardin I believe.
