How good is Forney baseball

The Rabbits play the Rockwall-Heath Yankees at 10 am Saturday. Heath looking to go to 17-0 on the season. The winner plays the Permian Panthers in the championship at 4. The loser plays the Rockwall Orangejackets at 1 in the bridesmaid game.

4NEEBBALL, from the reports I received, the errors were committed by the everyday starters, 3rd base, shortstop & center field. While the Forney pitcher didn't have overwhelming speed the ball never left the park and was made playable. Regardless of pitching performance not many games can be expected to win if you can only score 1 run. And reports were that the Permian pitcher wasn't as good as the Forney pitcher. The exception here is that Permian put the ball in play and Forney couldn't make the play.

Once again not defending the error situation or the poor hitting. I am only saying the mind set of the players and confidence level is offset somewhat based on who they are on the field with. Chemistry is huge in baseball and Forney has that with the right personel on the field. I am sure it will get better for all as the development of players continues. You seem to want to defend the pitcher, he needs no defense (except when he is on the hill), good kid, swings with power, but grooves it at 74, it is what it is.

Chemistry may be important, but don't forget biology & physics. Genetics & Newton's laws are HUGE factors!!!!

I-30 Classic Update...

Heath Yankees stay undefeated and handle the Rabbits 7-1 in the semi. Rockwall High outlasts the Rabbits 5-4 on walk-off double in the 3rd place game. And Heath rolls 15-1 over Mojo in the championship to run record to 17-0. Good tourney. RISD looking for more out-of-town teams next year if anybody's interested.

4NEEBBALL you have a PM

I-30 Classic

Wylie defeats Terrell 14 - 7, and Midlothian 16 - 6 on the Consolation side of the Bracket.

What's Forney's schedule for the week?

Lancaster on friday and then Tuesday - West Mesquite, Friday - Mabank

Can't seem to find score and game summary/info for Forney vs. Lancaster. Any help?

Heard it was Forney prevailing 24-0, 2 pitchers combined for a no-hitter (possibly a perfect game). That's all I've heard. Anyone able to embelish (or correct) this?

This has to be demoralizing season for Lancaster. Prior to last night, based on the DMN stats, Lancaster, in seven games, have given up 142 runs while scoring 3. Their R-H-E numbers total 3-6-21. I can't imagine how these young men are feeling at this point.

Looks like Forney finally hit the ball, or were there alot of walks and errors? Good job pitchers.

Blackmon and Reese combined for a "perfect game", but it was Lancaster. The whole Lancaster program needs revamping. Lots of walks, hits, a HR and Forney pulled most starters after the 2nd. Forney needs more intensity and for a couple of the juniors to be about the team and not their own agenda to become the team they are capable of being. Jeffery,Sutton and Eatherly continue to lead the way at the plate

Thanks for the update on the game. Also got info from other sources via email that also spoke of Jeffery and Sutton but was told that Eatherly was struggling a bit at the plate with too many K's. Hope he can turn things around. Didn't know there was a HR hit, do you know who hit it. There seems to have been several hit this year for the Forney club which is an improvement from last year's team. Hope they can keep it up throughout the season.

It was Blakely that hit the HR and I think he has 4 hrs for the season. I hope Blakely continues swinging for the fences. Eatherly is in the top 3 avg wise but you are right he has several strike outs lately. He seems to struggle with wide strike zones. A bit too picky at the plate and that is bad in high school too many k's looking. McEuen is the one that Forney needs to turn on at the plate. He was a top hitter last year and I expect he will come on as district gets in full swing and Forney needs his bat.

Thanks for the info 4NEEBBALL. Surprised to hear McEuen is struggling at the plate but hear he is doing very good job at 3rd. Hopefully they will all begin to "gel" and do a good job from here on out.

McEuen will not slump long and he does a very good job anywhere in the infield

Is it official that Friday's game vs Mabank has been moved to Forney? Any idea who might be pitching for both teams?

My guess is y'all will see the freshman lefty from Mabank. He is about the only one we didn't see Tuesday. Haven't seen him throw, but they are really high on him.

Any news on this past Saturday's game against Seagoville? Haven't seen or heard anything about it yet.

I heard Forney won 8-3 but no other info

Anyone with additional info? Nothing in DMN.

I don't think there was much to talk about and probably the same tonight against Lancaster.
