They played Rudder this morning.  I couldn't make it , so i'm not sure how they did.  Rudder is probably the worst team in the tourny though.

LCM beat Rudder 12-11.  Instead of melting down in the later innings we got it out of the way in the top of the 1st by giving up 8 runs.  We scored 2 in the bottom of the 3rd.  We gave up 1 run in the top of the 4th and 2 in the top of the 5th.  We scored 10 runs in the bottom of the 5th to go up 12-11 and held Rudder scoreless in the top of the 6th.  The game then ended on time.

Dillon Young came in to pitch at the start of the 2nd inning, had another great outing and go the win.  Shea Richards did a great job too and got the save by pitching the 6th.  A good way to end a tough tournament.

The Bears could have easily have finished the bracket play 3-1 but were unable to hang on for the wins.  Hopefully they learned a lot from this that pays off in the end.

A tournament like this will only make you better.  LCM should be just fine once district play starts.  The thing I noticed that seperated them from a winning team, is that they crumbled when things got tough, instead of fighting back, it just seemed like they didn't want to be there.  By the Lamar game, they looked like they were already back at the hotel.  They came out and played great against one of the best teams in the state, so that shows that the talent is there.  They just have to use it, and not unravel.

Ya, sorry...  I had to go help a friend of mine.  How did we look last night?

[Ricefan]

lamar threw their ace at us .. not taking anything away from the young man on the mound for lamar but apparently ran out of pitchers or he was off...  your gloves are outstanding !!!! Lamar killed the ball but either hit right to yall or excellent field work !! Lamar had at least 6 up against the fence but caught . i really wanted see who Lamar was going to throw , maybe they are holding something back for tonight or monday..

I think the Rudder game shows that they do have the ability to hang tough and fight back.  I can guarantee you that they do want to be there and play.  Unfortunately, in two of our losses in bracket play the big innings we gave up were late in the game and we ran out of innings (or time) to come back.  Lamar threw one heck of a pitcher against us and we struggled to do much against him.  I think we only got 2 hits.  We gave up 3 runs in the first inning of that game and none the next two.  Starting the fourth inning we put in a freshman pitcher to gain some experience followed by another pitcher who is just now starting to get varsity experience.

In the games that we had the bad innings it did seem that the errors came in bunches.  We did play a lot of really good innings defensively.  We probably led the game in the majority of the innings we played.

Hopefully the boys will realize the areas of opportunity for improvement and get better and focus on the things that they did well and gain confidence.  They should realize that they can hang with the best in the state, they just have to learn how to close the deal.
