LB/Hylton and JR/Kellam AAA semi-final updates

I am following game on Twitter....in top of second LB has been issued 4 walks and one hit batsman.

Whats up with those guys getting so many free passes?

They love being on top of the plate.

LB is up 6-2 in bottom of 5th

LB Pitcher is at 122 pitches through 5 innings...trailing 6-2

LB 7, Hylton 4. Final.

Bad call really hurt JR just now. Kellam leads 1-0 after two. Four strikeouts for Roberts through two innings.

Harry Lee Watson two-run bomb puts JR up 2-1 going to the bottom of the fifth.

James River has given up five unearned runs so far this inning. Trail 6-2 in the bottom of the sixth. Roberts committed an error that scored two runs while he was playing second base. I haven't seen him play second this year, but I assume he has.

Now 8-2.

Has kellam done anything right yet? Lol go knights

Golfball - I call them like I see them. James River self-destructed. Watch the replay for yourself if you don't believe it.

Thanks for the updates Tom. They are much appreciated!

My pleasure. Good luck to Kellam in the finals. Both Kellam and Lake Braddock are strong programs that deserve to have a state title. Could go either way tomorrow.

Twitter updates were awesome much appreciated as we look over the ocean back here in vabeach!
Kellam has done that all year, I understand your frustration, they force mistakes and don't make many. Congrats to both teams!

Congrats to the Knights!. Good luck in the final.

Did Roberts come out because he was on a pitch count?

Believe it or not, I'm not as much of a homer as my screen name might lead you to believe. That was just objectively painful to watch. It was a super pitcher's duel up until the sixth.

Rogers is tough, but Kellam seems to have "it" right now. Toss-up game tomorrow.

Not sure about the pitch count but Roberts walked a batter with one out in the sixth. I thought he could finish and felt pretty good about Kellam's chances when he left the game.

how many pitches had the JR pitcher thrown when they m,oved him to 2b?

In the game before it was reported the CD Hylton threw 150.

hylton pitcher was over 135 on my count before they took him out. Roberts about 60 but he was done

Regrettably, I called how that one would go.

Congrats to Lake Braddock on winning the AAA state Championship game today 4-0 over Kellam.

T.Rodgers pitched a great game and hit a HR.

Also, congrats to Kellam on making it to states and the championship game. Second year in a row that the Eastern Region has been in the championship game.

Here's the game report (Free): Lake Braddock wears AAA crown

Rogers was outstanding. The only time all game Kellam had two baserunners was in the bottom of the seventh after a single and an error.

Congratulations to Lake Braddock for winning the AAA Baseball State Championship. The Bruins are going to be a force to be reckoned with for at least another year or two with all of their youth and talent.

Also, Lake Braddock represented the Patriot District, which has placed teams in the State finals in each of the past three years, winning two championships in the process. Simply put, there has been no other district in the state that has been more competitive over that span of time.

Congrats to Lake Braddock.

How about three straight years for the Patriot District??

2010 West Springfield (State Champion)
2011 South County (Runner up)
2012 Lake Braddock (State Champion)

Whats even more impressive to me for the Patriot is three straight years with three different schools.

You can add a fourth with Woodson making states during that time as well. Talk about a tough balanced district.

Congrats to LB and Coach Rutherford.

You are certainly right about that, Bxbomber. Additionally, West Springfield went as far as the State semifinals in 2009. Also, the Patriot District has sent two representatives each year for the past four seasons to the States. Quite unbelievable. The Patriot District proves to be, year in and year out, the absolute best in the state of Virginia.
