Westbrook-Lumberton Scrimmage

[MIF04]

The Bruins scored early and often on a very cool night in Beaumont, routing the Lumberton Raiders. Although the scoreboard got turned off early, WB scored at or above 40 runs over the course of 13 innings.

Pitching-wise, Serna looked sharp for WB in his 2 innings of work as did Doubt and Murphy. The Svoboda kid did not throw as he was at another function Tues. night. The usual suspects (Serna, Ferguson, Armstrong, Falgout) all swung the bat well for WB as did newcomers Lycan and Wallace (Murphy did not hit due to lingering wrist injury). Srs. Calvert and Balfanz also looked good. A steady breeze from LF kept a couple of balls in the park off the bats of Ferguson, Falgout and Wallace but that simply stopped a little of the bleeding for Lumberton. The Raiders are clearly rebuilding and need to improve quickly before jumping into 20-4A play.

Just a long, cold night at the ballpark...

Why ya say that old coach? Sounds like you have something against Silsbee because Silsbee doesnt have a bad baseball program at all.

I was shocked as well?? :scratch

Silsbee was a playoff team last year and should be this year. Granted, they will be young on the bump but still some pretty good throwers. Most worrisome now is injury to jr. OF Rocky Calhoun. If he is out for any appreciable time, that will significantly impact the Tigers.

You guys missed my point. The writer of the prior post stated "they might as well of scrimmaged sabine pass". This was a derogatory remark to sabine pass. No one questioned that statement. I fired back with Silsbee because the author of that post's profile says he is a coach and his posts would lead you to believe he is a coach in silsbee. He should be careful what he says in reference to smaller schools. Smaller school kids work just as hard as the big school kids.

sounds like Lumberton got taken to the woodshed. But I am sure the will improve as the season goes along
