Beach Results 3-12-08

Princess Anne won 9-4 against Salem HS. Ben Tomchick pitched 6 innings with 1 earned run. Robbie Newman, Salem's catcher, hit a bomb to LF. But it was too late to make a difference. Salem scored first with a unearned run in the 3rd. PA answered with 5 runs in the top of the 3rd. PA also scored 3 in the 4th making it 8-1. Cardwell started PA's scoring with a LD up the middle.
Salem scored a run in the 6th and two in the top of 7th (one a HR). PA finished with a run in the 6th. Tomchick went 2-3, John Matos also was 2-3. PA bashed out 10 hits off of 3 Salem pitchers. Nate Vosler took the loss.
PA goes against Green Run this Friday.

Congratulations to Coach St. Clair and Kellam with their first win of the season. What about the First Colonial game? Any one got any info on that? Should be good games around the beach on Fridays Schedule.

First Colonial 501 04 — 10 7 1
W—Smith (1-0). L—Topping (0-1).

Stepping outside the Beach; the SE District looks very very strong this season.

The new Grassfield HS gave #1 Great Bridge a very competative game:

#1 Great Bridge 4, Grassfield 3
Grassfield 101 001 0—3 6 3
Great Bridge 002 200 x—4 4 4
W—McCarthy (1-0). L—Waller (0-1). HR—Parrish.

#2 Hickory 4, Lakeland 0
Lakeland 000 000 0—0 2 0
Hickory 102 100 x—4 8 0
W—Harris (1-0). L—Epperson (0-1).

...while #4 Western Branch easily handled another District foe in Nansemond River:
#4 Western Branch 10, Nansemond River 0
Western Branch 104 60—10 10 1
Nansemond River 000 00—0 1 3
W—O’Connor (1-0). L—A.Topping (0-1).

The weather forecast for Friday calls for Partly Cloudy skies and 74. PLAY BALL!!!

McCarthy threw 60+% breaking balls and GB looked very sloppy.

Congrats to Grassfield for outhitting and basically outplaying GB even though they took the L.

Thanks for the link, Lawman. I found this:

Deep Creek 10, Oscar Smith 0
Oscar Smith 000 00—0 2 3
Deep Creek 031 51—10 7 0
W—Perry (1-0). L—Evans (0-1).

Chris Perry had 12 strikeouts and went 2 for 3 with 3 RBIs for the Hornets.

I remember Chris from years ago. A great guy.

Tallwood looked a bit sloppy in their loss. From their pitcher going from the wind-up with runners on first and second (both FC runners catching it and advancing - no one on Tallwood side noticing)to not knowing what to do as base-runners on an infield Fly. FC looked solid, Smith & Fischetti combined on the shut-out. FC has several sophomores and a Freshman on varsity along with a majority of juniors, this looks to be a young, deept team.......

Kellam played a very good game last night on both sides of the ball. I dont beleave in singling out any players because it's a team sport, but they all played their "A" game last night. Like i said before they'er a very young team with a lot of up side and years to go. Starting Player's from last nights game SR Jeremy Tenney 2nd, JR's James Taylor CF, Tate Desmet RF, George Brown LF, Ryan Matalon SS, Richard Dejesus 3rd, SOPH's Patrick Harrington C, Jeff Difulgo P, and Ryan Kilmon 1st. I did like the way Cox's Player kept trying and never put there head down.

Ryan (? I think) Cook, only had one at bat yesterday but I here he may push some of the upper classmen for playing time as the year goes on.

Yeah. Ryan is a solid player.
