District 11 Champions - Mechanicsville Post 175

District 13 Champions - Albemarle Post 74

District 16 Champions - Winchester Post 21

District 17 Champions - Vienna Post 180

Host Team - Williamsburg Post 39

Just to clarify ... Post 368 Denbigh was the "runner-up" to Post 39 Williamsburg who won the district 3 title outright.

TCW...thanks for the post on the Danville game.  That guy should send his resume to The Pilot; he knows how to cover a baseball game.

Congrats to Danville knocking off Post 280.  That's not easy to do. 

Just curious about where Post 280 played this year.  Looked like they were the only Senior Legion team in District Two. 

Is this Post 39's year to win it all?

How Post 175 Mechanicsville made it to the state tourney ...

Bolka bolsters Mechanicsville

BY ERIC KOLENICH Richmond Times-Dispatch | Posted: Friday, July 26, 2013 12:00 am

 

In June, after the first three games of the season, Mechanicsville Post 175 was 1-2. It was a modest start for a team that had won its first 25 games and the district championship a year ago.

Post 125 gets unlikely win

BY JORDAN BONDURANT Richmond Times-Dispatch | Posted: Thursday, July 25, 2013 12:00 am

 

CHESTERFIELD A fielder’s choice with runners in scoring position was enough to score Wesley Steelman with the go-ahead run for Lakeside Post 125 in the American Legion District 11 Tournament at L.C. Bird High School. Post 125 held off Mechanicsville Post 175 (21-4) in the bottom of the 11th to seal the victory and force a winner-take-all game tonight at Bird beginning at 7 p.m.

 

The win was the fifth in a row for Post 125 (14-12) in the tournament, as ...

Vienna 180 Repeats as District Tourney Champs

by DAVE FACINOLI, Staff Writer | Posted: Friday, July 26, 2013 7:44 am

 

Throughout the season, Vienna Post 180 has bent a bit on defense at times during games, but for the most part the baseball team has not had major breakdowns with multiple errors and walks.

 

That formula earned Vienna its second straight American Legion District 17 tournament championship. ...

Post 21 still up 9 to 2 in the top of the 7th.

It was reported that Post 21's starting pitcher, Addison Barber took a line drive in the knee in the 1st inning.  One other coach watching from stands thought there is no way he can continue but he has as the individual stated he's been masterful with FB, Change piece and CB.

Winchester still up 9 to 2 going into the bottom of the 8th.

I was told from another coach in the tourney that Winchester has hit the baseball well and Williamsburg has too many walks, errors and misplays.

Winchester wins 9 to 2!

Post 180 Vienna wins 3 to 1 over Post 368 Denbigh.

Post 368 eliminated.

http://www.timesdispatch.com/s...13-0019bb30f31a.html

A few things stood out to me regarding this story about Post 175 vs. Danville.

First, Bolka went six innings, giving up 5 hits, 11 K's, 4 BB's, and 2 HBP's. Considering that he's normally fairly erratic around the strike zone, I would have to imagine that his pitch count ran pretty high even in only six innings. If you do the math, just the stats above require a minimum of 56 pitches (and that's assuming three pitch strikeouts and four pitch walks). Does anybody have any idea how many pitches Bolka ended up tossing?

The other thing that stood out to me was that down by three in the 9th, Thomas got on base, stole second, and ultimately got thrown out at home tagging up. That's really dumb baseball (assuming the paper has it right). 

Just my observations

Emanksi,

Obviously, this site offers individuals an opportunity to express their opinion but is it really necessary to put down 18 and 19 year olds.  What's your point???

We all understand that making the last out at home when you're behind by three is a mistake but what's the purpose in calling it out???

Mike Lowry

Post 175 Mechanicsville and Post 39 Williamsburg tied at 5 going to the 13th in the 1pm elimination game.

After 16 innings ... it was Post 175 Mechanicsville 6 to 5 over Host Post 39 Williamsburg after 4hrs and 35mins.

Thanks for the updates

5pm game ... it's in the 4th inning with Post 74 Albemarle up 6 to 1 over Post 3 Roanoke as it's 6:58pm.

Updated bracket ...

In the 5th inning of 6pm game - Post 74 Albemarle up 11 to 1 over Post 3 Roanoke - looks like a 7inning mercy rule coming.

Post 74 up 14 to 2 over Post 3 Roanoke in the 6th inning.
