First Colonial 5 St Augustine NJ 4 8 Innings

FC tied it up at 4 apiece in the bottom of the 7th when Frank Berry scored from 3rd on a wild pitch. They won it in the bottom of the 8th after 2 outs, A Wright walked, K Hill Singled, Berry walk and R Sykes base hit scored Wright. Dave Supa homerd in the 2nd for FC and Bulman tied in the 6th with a 2 run shot over the score board. Mueller, Berry, Wright, M Carmines and R Fee pitched for FC. Fee came in the top of the eight with the bases loaded and no outs and after a pop up , fanned the next 2 batters for the win.

Hickory 2 First Colonial 0

Pitching duel here with the Hickory right hander J Shuebert going the distance allowing 2 hits. Soph Bulman (FC) made one mistake when S Parson hit a 2 run homer in the 1st. Bulman only allowed one more hit, a 2 out single in the 7th.

fc v dad,
everything in your summary of the st. aug's vs. fc game was accurate (as usual). what i found a tad curious was the huge omission of the bases loaded st. aug's batter being hit by a pitch ? in forty+- years of this old ****s baseball life that has to rank right up there with the worst calls by an umpire ever ! not saying that fc would not have won anyway, but fella... you are a very straight shooter and that was a horrible call !!

I actualy did not attend the 1st game and recieved second hand news from our peanut gallery. Since the info came from our side of the fence it seamed to favor the call ( The kid may no attempt what so ever to avoid being hit with the pitch). Had I recieved the news from the other side I probably would have heard something different, or statements about horrindus call as you stated. Because of this I felt best not to start controversy by making any kind of statement at all. Had I attended the game I may have posted something regarding the situation or at least the other teams good fortunes, homers, big hits etc as I did FC.

I'm not sure if you attended the Hickory game. If you did you would have seen the same type of unmpiring go against FC and I also refraimed from making any statment against the guys in blue. It just seams to start unwarrented controversy with others on the message board.

Kellam did not travel to NC. A combination of weather and scheduling conflicts with the local teams resulted in the games being cancelled.
Coach Jones was able to work some magic and get a few games scheduled locally.
Kellam played a team from Cleveland Ohio (Vikings) and won by a score of 26 - 1.
They have 2 games scheduled for tomorrow 2pm and 4pm at Kellam. Not sure what teams they will be playing, but I think one of the teams is from NY.
fc v dad,
let me start by saying that the reason i was even there was to cheer for austin wright and the home boyz from fc ! that being said, i've got to believe a more objective opine would have been very different on whether or not that player attempted to not get hit by the pitched ball. a 2-2 very inside off-speed pitch taken in the back or high on the shoulder as your turning in away from the pitch ? my intent here is not to belittle fc's win, but to call that umpire out for the terrible call that had a very possible impact on a game !

i did not stay for the second game. did the same umpire eject coach wilson ? hickory's pitcher must have had a great game ? 2-0 against fc is a mighty impressive ! who is he ? and what year is he ?
driller,
I can help w/ your question. The Hickory pitcher you had a question about was junior, Robert Schubert.
With he & junior Kyle Kilpatrick, soph. Chris Madison back next year they may form a pretty good pitching staff. But they gotta score runs to win any ballgames & that's seems to be Hickory's achilles heel this year.
First Colonial 6 Deep Creek 0

Soph DJ Rathbone went the distance allowing 4 hits striking out 4 and up his record to 3-0. He keep the Creek hitters off balance with some nice off speed stuff and threw a lot of ground ball outs. The defensive play of the game began when Muller started a 5-4-3 DP with a tuff short hop fielding play and A-man made a great turn to finish it out. Berry and Wright ended the contest with a 6-4-3 DP. Soph Bulman got FC started with a 2 out base hit in the second to score Cruit. Muller started a 3 run 4th with a shot to deep left center. FC took advantage of Creek throwing the ball around late in the game for the final 6-0 score.

FC plays Hanover 4:00 tomorrow afternoon @ Bayside

Interesting game between Windsor and Salem -- Salem's Spears went the distance --- outstanding change up, mixed well with routine fastball, the team (Salem) hit up and down line-up and displayed many facets of the game (mental errors included). Salem squad, small but s******. Windsor group bigger but did not execute. Salem did not rely on any one person, the whole group produces. The coach is not afraid to make changes at any point in the ballgame. Only problem they go from small to smaller -- with him, execution is a must. Looking forward to the F.C. game tommorrow.

Definatly sounds like a bad call against St Aug. Yes to your last question, There were some bad calls against FC and it definatly was a quick trigger.

The kid from Hickory (Schubert) really threw a nice game. Good comand and location on his pitches. He must have K'd 3 or 4 FC batters on 3-2 counts. Only Cruit had some quality bats against him.

First Colonial 12 Hanover 5

Dave Supa started FC with a 1st inning run scoring double. Hanover responded with a grand slam in the top of the 3rd to take a 5-1 lead. FC retook the lead scoring 5 in the bottom of the 3rd with 6 consecitive hits hilighted by back to back doubles by Billy Muller and Ryan Sykes. In the 4th FC extended the lead to 7-5 with a Muller shot to left center field and Muller put the game out of reach with a 3 run shot in the 5th, Matt Carmines pitched 3 shut out innings for FC. Muller had 6 RBI's. T Ellis, Muller,Sykes Supa and A Wright had multiple hit games for FC. I have to say this is the 1st game FC hit up and down in the order.
