Salem had an awesome game today when they showed up and played their hearts out at Cox High School. Cox didn't know what hit them when a different Salem team showed up to play today. It made some of them a little mad. Can't wait to see what Salem has in store for the rest of the tourney.
Tallwood 4 First Colonial 3
Tallwood got on the board with 3 in the top of the first. 2 walks, a hit batter sandwiched around a couple of hits and a sac fly. They extended the lead to 4-0 with an unearned in the 2nd. Farmer pitched out of baseloaded jam in the 4th. In the 5th FC battled back to cut the lead to 4-2 when Miles Shipp tripled home one run and scored himself on a sac fly by F Barry. Farmer started the 5th with a walk and was relieved. The kid (Sorry no name) pitched out of a 2nd and 3rd jam in the 6th and in the bottom of the 7th Ryan Sykes hit a shot to right field that hopped over the fence for a ground rule double. Barry scored and A wright had to return to 3rd. He would have tied the game up for sure. The kid struck out the the last fc batter for a big victory for tallwood. Dj Rathbone pitched 5 scoreless innings for FC in relief.
Sorry for lack of information for the tallwood players. Congratulation for their victory.

PA-6, Kellam-3
Hendrix started out a little wild, walking 4 batters in the 1st inning. Kellam only scored 1 in the 1st. Kellam then scored 2 in the 3rd, one of Justin Neuman's single through the drawn in infield. Sean Ray held PA scoreless until the 4th when PA finally strung together some hits, a hit batter with the bases loaded, and a wild pitch for a 4 run 4th. Hendrix settled down and pitched well the rest of the game, finishing with 11 strikeouts. PA plays Salem tomorrow at Landstown at 5.

Wow!!! Isn't baseball a great game. You never know who is going to win.
Congrats to all of the winners yesterday. It sure changes the look of the tourney.
Does anyone know what time the first game is suppose to start today? The paper says 4pm, the beach district official schedule says 5pm.

By the way, "the bunt is a powerful weapon!" Just ask coach Conroy at Cox. Salem used 8 bunts, 4 in one inning.
games today are at 4 (ocean lakes vs. tallwood), and 7 (PA vs. Salem) all at landstown high school
Congrats to Tallwood, who at the beginning of the season was tagged by one Beacon reporter as being "the longest of the longshots". Mat Farmer pitched 4 solid innings. Ryan Cooper came in relief and dispite the razzing coming from the FC dugout, he persevered. Barry Long had a few key hits and had some awesome defensive plays at 2nd. Winton Weather was outstanding behind the dish, keeping FC runners from advancing. David Hughs had several put outs in right field. Vinny Pellegrino had 2 monster hits and was robbed by an outstanding defensive play by Toph in center.
I heard the games were tomorrow at 4 and 7 not today. Has anyone else heard that?
The games are definitely Wednesday at 4 and 7. Tallwood and Ocean Lakes play first followed by Princess Anne and Salem
Okay, now I am really confused. The paper says the games are today, the beach district schedule says the games are today. Where are you guys getting the info that the games are Wednesday? 
The games are definately Wednesday. I just called Landstown HS and asked their front office. Wed at 4 and 7. I know the schedule says Tuesday, and I don't know why there would be a change, but what are you going to do?? Go out Wed and watch I guess.
Great game at Kempsville yesterday. Timely hitting by Ocean Lakes including a GRAND SLAM home run in the top of the third by Derek Trueblood from Ocean Lakes. Matt Little and Adam Honeyhutt also had round trippers for Kempsville. Kempsville loaded the bases in the bottom of the sixth and the bottom of the seventh but could only push one run across. Final score 8-6 Ocean Lakes

Confirmed, apparently there was some scheduling error with the umpires and most of the better umpires were already scheduled to umpire elsewhere, so the coaches voted to play tomorrow and thursday instead.

Tyree's Association has a group of "better umpires"?!? Isn't that an oxymoron?
I have been watching games and reading these postes all season long. Before the season all the focus was on Cox then it turned to FC when they made their run for the beach title. Now that the tournament has come with Cox and Fc getting knocked out in the first round. Could we please give some credit to some other teams and other players other than thos who play for Cox and FC. Just las week you all were talking about how Tallwood should not have even been in this tournament and now they are moving on to the second round. And how about Salem picking up an outstanding victory over the Falcons who claimed they had the best chance to run for the STATE title. Now all they can do is sit back and watch. I guess all this proves is that talk is nothing. The team taht shows up and wants it the most will take it, and you can't count any team in the beach out, especially with everyone now competing for a regional bid. Good luck to all the remaing tounament teams.
In all due respect. Tallwood happened to win one big game against FC! I give them all the credit for that --they played an outstanding game. However, FC and Cox played 20 games and came in 1st and 2nd in the beach respectively. They deserve all accolades given to them. One game does not make an outstanding team!

Yes I agree that FC and Cox deserve credit for their regular seasons. But big teams step up in big games and neither team stepped up. Now FC already has their spot in the regionals so it wasn't necissarily crunch time for them. But it was for Cox and by all of their preseason talk I expected them to be a contender for the regional championship. I think more credit should be givin to the other contending teams in the beach district. How far do some of these teams, like Salem, have to go before they earn the respect that they once had?

One game doesn't make a season. In my opinion Cox, Salem & Kellam were underachievers. FC, Kempsville & OL were overachievers. PA did what was expected a very solid season. Landstown, GR, Tallwood & Bayside were sitting at the bottom of the standings as expected

How soon until the Cox fans start asking for their coach to be fired?
