Robert...is that a misprint?

OP,

No misprint, and yes the wind was blowing out, but I heard on 3 of the bombs it could have been blowing in and not mattered.

Gotta love 4A pitching!!! Heard he couldn't get one out of the infield in 5 ABs vs Plano West.

I don't understand your negative comment about this young man... Not much difference between a good 4A team and a good 5A team.

Its ok to be a "homer" for your school but no reason to put down a kid...

He's not the 21st ranked junior in the country for nothing!

Anybody can have a bad day at the plate against a bad pitcher, let alone a good one.

Lipka is the real deal without a doubt.

Hey - quick disrepecting 4A u loser.
There's bad pitching at all levels every game night but rarely does someone hit 4HR and go 7-7. What'd ur kid do lately?

Amen ... RD...

Nuff said, eh cheapseats?

4 bombs is 4 bombs, I don't care if the pitcher lobbed it in there and a tornado carried it out.

I can't stand the jealousy of a parent who knocks on another kid on this board. You think he isn't good, go to his parents and tell them to their face.

I think this is a jealous kid or fellow player, not a parent, but I could be wrong...wouldn't be the first time.

I got a report from a source in Rockwall about a freshman at Heath that went 4-5 with 11 RBI and 3 dingers yesterday including a walk off grand slam against Timberview. He also hit two 3 run HRs.

I don't care who you are, that's an incredible day, but for it to be a freshman......all I can say is WOW!!

PD....You've got to be kidding!

Angel wings for post number 5,000????

Great job kid.

I bet the college coaches keeping an eye on Lipka are impressed with 7-7 .... they don't care if it is 5A, 4A or 1A pitching!

Hornsr1 - If I were the PW coach I would "encourage" all my players to keep it constructive or stay OFF the message boards.

The bravest poster's are always hiding behind a fake name

My apologies to all and to Matt. It was a great day for him with many more in the future.

Good job hornsr1.

3/6 Scores for Lamar

Lamar 0 3 0
LD Bell 2 2 0

WP:Bartsch
LP:Porter

Lamar hung tough against the Bartsch. Porter, a soph., did an excellent job holding down Bell for the most part.

Lubb. Coronado 9 9 3
Arlington lamar 3 7 5

WP:Hunter Scott
LP:Parker Robinson

Hunter Scott is one to watch from Coronado. Little wild in the first but once he settled in he did a really good job. The kid throws pretty hard and mixed his pitches well.

Plano East beat Justin NW 15-7 and Amarillo 10-3. Kameron Wilding was the story for East as he continued his red hot streak hitting two HR's and 9 RBI's as the DH. His second HR was a first inning grand slam off of Amarillo's Ryan Houston (he beat Southlake 2-1 last year in the first game of the Region 1 semifinals). Reid Landers and Sam Arrieta pitched complete games.

Whoever thinks Lipka is not among the top players (regardless of age) in the country please raise your hand...

I was at their 2 games on Thursday and yes the wind was blowing out...for all players and both teams. Against Richardson he was the only one to hit like he did, and it looked easy for him (albeit against a junk-ball pitcher). Interestingly probably his hardest hit he had did not leave the park, but was a line drive that hit the middle of the left field fence without reaching 25 feet off the ground.

My guess is that the Plano West game you mention was a fluke and just because he has an off game, statistically speaking, means nothing. 3 Dingers in a game is impressive.

Lipka is big, hits with power, is fast as lightning, great range from SS and 90 across the diamond.

Richardson does not have much but they do have a couple kids who can play...Lipka controlled them pretty well but one kid (didn't catch the name but has long red hair) hit him pretty good with a couple doubles if I remember right. Don't remember where he was on the field, must be my age...Anyone know this kid?

Hey bbknut,

That kid on Richardson is Christian Cline, He plays centerfield and also catches occasionally. He does it all well, and is about as good as they come.
