Actually teams can have a 21st game by qualifying that extra game as a VHSL benefit game (all as described in the VHSL rules.) Basically, the way I read it, the VHSL gets half of the admission charges.
Kellam has a 16 game beach district schedule and the Hanahan spring break tournament could be 5 games. I doubt that they went to Charleston to forfeit the Championship game in the event they get there.
Sort of related question....If Kellam wins today will they be forfieting the Semi-Final in SC because they can't go over the limit? If a team plays 3 district tournament games, 4 Regional games (in some regions) and then 3 state tournament games they will play 10 post season games in about three weeks while the 20 regular season games are spread out over 2 1/2 months. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to play 50% of the number of games in 30% of the time frame when comparing the post season and regular season scheduling.

That is exactly what Grassfield had to do a couple of years ago in that same tournament. Don't remember if it was the championship game but they had to bow out due to the 20-game limit. I believe that Kellam would have had to arrange for one game to be a VHSL benefit game or they are stuck with the 20-game limit.
Good point Pilot, Landstown is making some noise, if they win today against Oscar Smith, they win the Beach Bash 4-0! Talk about SS, the Landstown kid #5 is rolling..I think he is batting around.700, grand slam yesterday, has about 20 rbi's so far. He is a well rounded athlete and it shows every time I can get out and watch them.

Got any score on the game BBaller, I could not see the score on the scoreboard whan I drove by on my way home from work because of the light bulbs being burnt out!

I was at the FC hanover game, Rinerth was pretty shaky on the mound.....
Reinerth was solid at the Hanover game. If he had just had some bats behind him, FC could have won that game. The one run he gave up was unearned.
quote:I was at the FC hanover game, Rinerth was pretty shaky on the mound.....
he pitched timid and had poor location from the innings I saw
Can you please provide more facts regarding your assessment of timid and poor about the FC pitcher who gave up only 1 run in 7 innings, 77 pitches and no walks. I saw Hanover play cox today and the Hanover SS hit a Bomb off a D1 prospect and the entire team looks like a D1 team and hit the ball hard all day. Cox played great and Won, but giving up only 1 run against that squad seems to be a performance to be proud of. What are we missing? I'll take timid and poor all day long if it produces only 1 run in 7.
Who is the D1 pitching prospect at Cox?
Diaminddad9,
You have been Warned privately. Consider this your public warning. Stop.

I was at the FC game, I don't know, no walks, 4 hits,a 1 to 0 loss, pretty good game, but on a better note, Clay Frizzell is getting better and I saw the Cox game today too, and they are hitting the ?? out of the ball, so with Landstown playing well, Cox being Cox, Salem getting Newman back, and FC being consistent, its going to be a fun 2nd half of the season, let the Kids have fun and sit back and enjoy some good baseball, watch out for Cox, they are good
McCabe is a good Lefty at Cox, but he crushes the ball, so maybe he's a better prospect as a position player, but he's a 6'5 lefty, and young, alot of upside

Innings you saw? You apparently saw no innings. Please explain how a pitcher can be timid and have poor location in a 77 pitch complete game, with no walks, and no earned runs. That timid pitcher with poor location now has thrown 3 complete games without giving up an earned run.
You clearly have a problem with Reid, so direct you comments at him and leave his son out of it....moron

Looks like a lot of the teams had good showings during spring break. Let's see how some of these guys do the second half playing back in their district. I agree FC/Cox looking stronger. I think those two can give Kellam strong competition.

The hanover ss, Andrew Knizner, is a 2013 D1 commit to NC State. I watched that game and he played like a beast in the field.

That's great. It's exciting to see area talent getting shots at some of the higher end D1 schools.
Redbird, I thought the whole concept behind this website was to express your opinion? So therefor, you cannot warn me, when all I'm doing is contributing to the forum. The fact that hanover did not crush rinerth on the mound is a joke, thought they were a better offensive team than that.
Hanover did not "crush" him and in any reasonable evaluation of the word "crush" producing 1 run in 7 innings is far from a crushing!
Stating that "Hanover did not crush him is a joke", seems like now you are criticizing the FC Pitcher and the entire Hanover Team. Clearly this game did not live up to your expectations.
Publically criticizing kids on a high school baseball discussion board, in my “opinion” does not really meet the definition of "Contributing"? However, it might meet the definition of disrespectful.
These are not pro athletes these are kids playing for their high school. Most will never play a day at another level. Enjoy the games!! Baseball is a way for kids to grow up, to become men. It just so happens they do it on a stage, in front of others where their faults can be seen. Let’s give the kids the respect they deserve, let them grow up without bashing them. If you have some way to help a kid , then share it with him. That is what most of us on this site have done and are still doing, Otherwise, well… come on man!!!
These are just 1 opinion on the subject and one "contribution".

First of all, I think it is comical you decided to respond publically rather than the PM I sent. I understand your intentions.
Secondly, I can warn you about anything that doesn't fit this board's reason for existence. If you have a problem with my moderation, contact MN-Mom.
Let's take a look at some of your "contributions" made to date:
1) questioning Landstown's infield
2) insulting Pilots81
3) antagonizing/insulting paintboy
4) edited by me for posting the contents of a PM
5) insulting paintboy
6) insulting/bashing a player who just threw and efficient CG
7) same as #6 but different insult
So, what exactly have you contributed to this forum? It is obvious you have a problem with Pilots81. This is not your forum to attack him nor his son. Sack up and talk to him face to face. Would you like his phone number?
I will not warn you again.
There's also a difference between expressing an opinion and defaming someone's character. The fact that an adult would openly attack a high school athlete shows a real lack of class.

I found the Hanover vs. FC game a pitcher's duel where both pitchers were very effective in getting batters out. It was a great game to watch!

Agreed, well said. If it isn't someone trying to bash a player, it's a Dad that thinks he's anonymous always talking about his own kid. Let's stick to the team concept.
Those of you familiar with my posts know that I am all for the freedom of expression and the free exchange of opinions, ideas and comments; however, I draw the line when those expressions are motivated by malice, hatred or ignorance. Constructive criticism of team play or coaching is one thing, personal vendettas and attacks are something completely different. I am even open to a little playful banter every now and then as long as it does not get out of hand (e.g., my exchange with my archnemesis SEDBaseball). It's not the comments I have a problem with, it is the motivation. Your sole purpose on this board should never be to hurt, deride or chastise a kid or his parents.
Just my two cents because I had it to spare.

I have been following this little road trip since the start. There is obviously some personnal issues being aired publicly here. I think to bash a kid or parent behind the mask of an online name is cowardly and simple. Also, to call someone a "moron" is only going to fuel the fire for something like this to continue. Opinions are just that, personnal reflections. But to verbally attack someone because of a different issue and to mask is by stating it is your "opinion", is just low. Man up, hash it out or move on. This is about baseball.
Ocean Lakes should be carrying a little optimism into the second half as they were competitive in all games of the beach blast. They played their first error free game on Wednesday against Granby. Hopefully they can be competitive and make a run at the #7 or 8 seed of the beach district.

OL should definitely make the tournament. I only think two maybe three teams are most likely out of the running based on 1st half performance. But I wouldn't base too much on how the 2nd half might go off of the spring break games. Hanover is always a competitive team. I wouldn't say many of the others would fair well in the beach district. Looking forward to see how it all shakes out though. Good luck to them all.
I saw the FC / Hanover game. I think the FC pitcher looked pretty good. Nothing particularly great but simply keeps em guessing and off balance. This would not impress those scouts that like a GUN to do all their recruiting. As for no hitting behind him, Maybe the coach should let him have a swing or two and he could have wom his own game! He is a better hitter than at least 2 in the order.
