Jesuit vs Keller

Keller is going to have their hands full. Watch out for DTiger in game #1!

Bad-Do I know you?

I hope this is a good series. I expect both teams to play their hearts out (who doesn't in the playoffs?).

Keller over Jesuit in three games.

Will be a tough series but I believe Keller might have more overall depth. Jesuit relies on a few players(2 pitchers and 2 maybe 3 three hitters..Stats kind of speak for themselves). You never know what could happen though.....Maybe an upset.

I think we have a good shot, and I dont think that people will or should overlook us. Meinhardt and Walker have proved their worth this season, and we have swung the bat well these last few weeks, im personally excited to face this team and i think it will be a great series.

Jesuitbb, despite my obvious affiliation with Jesuit, since I am pitching at some point during this series, I would like to stay as modest as possible. Not that anything you said is bad, but the less talk about us the better.

Keller might be the only team represented here that I haven't heard much of. Stats aside, what should I know about this team and what they have done this year? Going on the nothing that I know about them, I'm going to take Jesuit in 2.

Dtiger, most of the Keller players have faced you in the summer and know your stuff is A+....no need to be modest.

Should be a good series. Just a warning, if the wind is blowing out of the south, Keller HS can play like a little league field.

Big Red, they have one D1 signee, Kaleb Merck, going to TCU. After that, a bunch of scra-ppy kids that play well as a team.

They were 0-2 against SLC, but won 5-5A because they won the other games they needed to win. They are deep in pitching, probably the deepest they've been in years. They are a streaky hitting team that can come alive and the next thing you know they have 10 up on the board.

Their biggest plus, they never....never give up. They play until the last out, no matter if the score is 10-0 or 0-10.

Scrap-py indeed. It is known Muncy can hit but no numbers are really eye popping. The averages are not particularly high but these kids get on base. Look at the runs scored...3 kids over 22 runs scored including one with 31. Thats producing. Merck will catch your eye pitching but its their pitching throughout that is truly impressive. The only stat to me that really matters is District Champions. They obviously know how to win.

Jesuits pitching is a whole lot of Walker and Meinhardt. You see their innings pitch and you can quickly find their 1 and 2(each can be either). They are consistently on the mound which is good because the rest of the pitching seems almost non existent. Their hitting is lead by Matt Shortall who leads in AB-90, Hits-39, 2B-10, HR-3, RBI-31, and Avg-.433. They do have some very solid numbers in the offensive category and should be tough outs.

I wanted to respond to this topic because it seems we have a few people on this board that are affiliated with these schools.

KD... They've faced me? I don't remember many of them. Which, if you ask jbb, that's a rare incident.

Who won? What was the score and who pitched for each team?

They play on Friday.

Jesuit- 2
Keller- 0

WP: Meinhardt
LP: Kaminski

HR: Jesuit- Shortall

Well played game by both teams. Matty hit a bomb, and Meinhardt pitched lights out with somewhere in the area of 10 k's. Looking forward to tommorow.

JB,
Tychco attended the game and came home impressed with D-Tiger's pitching performance! Also, said you had a nice hit.
Good luck to both teams tomorrow!

(Way to go, Shorty!)

DTiger...way to go! Congratulations on a great win

Ditto: Great work, Kyle. Good luck to both teams tomorrow.

Bad- Do I know you?

What is the ump situation with playoff games? Do the same umps do every game in a series? I saw Merck go off on the home plate ump.

DTiger... You were phenomenal all night. Couldn't miss a spot all night. (except a couple times when the count was 0-2) Don't let the eight hits deceive you. Kiminski was also very good when it mattered. Lots of LOBS. Was there a walk all night? I couldn't remember a count even running full.

Out of curiosity, who are Jesuit and Keller's 3rd starter? The guy who came in for Kaminski? Should be a good series. Good luck to both teams.

I do believe the same umps stay throughout the series. That is on limited playoff experience however.

Any scores on these games yet?

Game 1

Keller-12
Jesuit-1
WP: I guess Merk (threw 2-3 innings)
LP: Zach Walker

My inability to throw a dang baseball started the game off lovely and it all went down hill from there.

Game 2

Keller-5
Jesuit-2

WP: Merk
LP: de Gruy

Hard fought game by both teams. Both pitchers threw well. Jacques fought hard and pitched exceptionally well. Be looking for this kid as he is only a Soph. Merk struggled with location more than usual, but gutted it out for the complete game. I don't think he more than 1 guy tho.

Stats for Keller: Game 2 of series

Muncy HR, 5 RBIs
Easom HR
Merck HR, 2 RBIs
Brown 2 RBIs

Merck threw about 20 pitches and was pulled after 2 innings with the score 8-0.

Pearson and Rose finished it off.

Game 3

Close score for the majority of the game. Both teams played hard but good pitching won out.
