Beach District Scores 4/15

Another stat....the Dolphins have scored 99 runs in 10 games. 13,13,12,17,8,7,8,7,7,7.

7-1.

Cameron Day with a base hit and a questionable call at first. Next batter puts one down the right field line for a double scoring the speedy Day from first. Now to the bottom of 4.

im loving the ocean lakes offense. i got to catch some of the tallwood game tues, unfortunately the weather chased me away before the end of the game as my shorts and t shirt wasnt exactly suitable...ill be coming back out soon to see another game.

keep up the great work coach spedden!

Final Score OL - 14 , Landstown - 4 . Landstown just looked flat today only putting together maybe 5 hits ? Morimando was not at his best today but landstown couldnt do anything to capitalize . Their pitchers had about 10 walks combined & thats not going to win them any ball games .

#3 Ocean Lakes-14 Landstown-4 Final in 6
WP- S.Morimando (5-0)

Ocean Lakes ace Shawn Morimando had another complete game outing and was backed by an explosive offense from the Dolphin Bats. Killian Strenn went prefect at the plate stroking two doubles, a single and a walk en route to a 4-4 outing and also added 2 RBI's. He was not the only one to hit the ball well as Clements and Robertson both had RBI triples coming in the third inning where OL scored the first 7 of it's 14 runs. Thanks to the help of many walks from the Landstown battery the Fins capitalized when they had the oppurtunity. Though a few minor setbacks for Ocean Lakes came at the bats and speed of Cameron day and others for Landstown with 3 runs in the 5th, the Dolphins followed with 6 unanswered runs in the next two innings to finish out the game. Shawn Morimando finished the game with a walk off sacrifice fly, finishing another win for him on the bump and keeping Ocean Lakes perfect in district play. Ocean Lakes is now 8-2 (6-0).

Game Notes: In all ten games the Dolphins have played they have scored more than ten runs in five games, scored 7 or more in every game and have ten runned 4 of the 5 Beach District opponents they have played.

Great stats for O.L, I think now they get to the meat of district play. I hope they are for real cause the Beach plays the SED in regionials. It'll be a great match up with Bowman, FC, and Morimando if it happens. I still think ALL 11 Beach Teams can beat anyone on an off day. The beach is far from over.

Offensively, they should be for real. They do have a tough part of the schedule coming up with the FC and Cox games but aside from that they should cruise through the rest of Beach play as they have already. Cox seemed a little out of it vs Kellam Wed so I don't think anyone should look into it more than it was just an off game as Cox is a good team and can play up to any level, as well the same with FC. FC though, beat up on OL last season when Lawson pitched so we might see that potential mathcup again....I believe Lawson carried a no hitter late into the game. And yes, the Beach will need to step it up come regionals, as we all saw what their top teams did to some Beach perenials in the Beach Blast.....but the season is always roller coaster....it's just who is ready more prepared for the ride.

Another side note...

PA Alumni Zach Woods ('06) pitched 6 1/3 innings of excellent ball for East Carolina vs UAB Friday night. Surrending 2 Runs, 1 Earned while striking out 8 and walking 2. Woods improves to 5-1 on the season and leads the pirates in lowest ERA and most Strike Outs. Congrats Zach! He has also been recognized as Louisville Slugger Nat'l Player of the Week and CUSA Pitcher of this week this Season.

Bayside 21 Salem 11

For Bayside:Casey King hit a Grandslam and so did Taylor Tompkins and Cody Synder also hit a 3 run homerun over 401 at Salem. The three of them went 9 for 9 with 12 rbis. Bayside had 16 hits total that game. Tommy Kane went 2 for 4 with a triple and a single and a walk and back picked a kid at second and first. Eric Evans was pitching.

For Salem: Zach Moore hit a 3 run homerun in the bottom of the 5th to make it 21 to 11 but with two outs they had a runner on first and third and the kid on first left early to try to get in a pickle to score the runner at third but eric evans threw the kid out at home and bayside won

Why would you intentionally make a call to get in a pickle.....with 2 outs, down by 10 runs to score a single run in the 5th? Even if it extends the game?

You've scored 11 already....at that point outs are really valuable...one run keeps the game going for 2 innings but you still need 9 runs! Don't trade 1 of your 7 outs for 1 of (minimum) 10 runs.

Don't get that one.

It looks like in that one you needed TD's not FG's

Yeah, on Salems behalf that was a bonehead move. It makes no sense and takes the bat out of the kids hands. Also lets the kid who was at the plate know that he was not really trusted to get it a hit and that they would try that move instead.
