Indian River 4 - Western Branch 1

IR clinches a district title with the win.

Dean Ali earned his 7th win as he tosses an 87-pitch, 0 walk, 4-hitter and C Justin Shockley's 2-run double in the first proved to be the clincher.

Chris Cartwright provided the insurance run with an RBI single in the 3rd.

Shockley - 1-3, 2B, 2 RBI
Carter - 2-3, 2B
Ali - 1-2, run, HBP - 7 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 5 K, Win
Dickason - 1-2, 2 runs, BB
Cartwright - 1-3, run, RBI
Inskeep - 1-2, BB

Ali has been very impressive down the stretch. Over last 6 Appearances:
5-0, 29 IP, 23 H, 4 ER, 8 BB, 27 K, 0.97 ERA.

S. Johnsonbaugh for WB settled down after a 3-run 1st inning to throw a good game for the Bruins. The kid is just a freshman... this WB team is definitely one that will rise quickly with how much young talent they have...

ALSO ... wanted to mention... IR's CF Sean Wolfe (who will sign with Albemarle this weekend) broke his hand during Monday's game vs Lakeland and is out for the remainder of the season. It's a huge loss for the Braves... and a tough break for a genuinely fantastic kid.

Wow... Amazing.

Every single foul ball was marked in the book and the pitching chart (for example, the 4 hit with 2 strikes by J. Kidd to lead off the game)... 87 pitches... both records matched.

I am telling you a fact... 87 pitches.

Why in the world would you try and say the official home team book & pitching charts are wrong? Were you there keeping a pitch-by-pitch tally? If someone was, PERHAPS a parent/fan in the stands were wrong with anything other than 87.

...And why would it be so important to try and point out something different???

I thought we agreed to never comment on each other again... Roll Eyes

I have one other game I missed -- do you know what happened with the first game between Grassfield and Kings Fork? Thanks...


Spoke with a Grassfield parent on Monday, 5/11. That parent said that they had not played King's Fork either game, other than 1 inning or so when the game was called due to weather. Saw in the paper today that King's Fork beat Grassfield on Tuesday, 5/12. So it appears that there is a Grassfield / King's Fork game which has not been played.

Do you play? Haha


Congrats on the National Championship. I see you handle it with class. In our age group, we finished higher than the Braves in every tourney we played. They have talented teams and so do we.

No, I don't play. I coach but I like how you deflected the question without answering it.

I'm not sure our age group Braves are playing in the same tourneys as my team. If you are intent on playing the Canes, call the tourney director and request them in your schedule. Again, my team is willing to play anyone, at any age group.

HR Fan, agree with your comment about WB. If you kept the preseason poll from the Pilot, it listed
Cox, GC, IR, GB, Maury, Kellam, PA, NR, OL and Landstown.
The most recent poll by the Pilot had GC, IR, Cox, Kellam, Maury, FC, Hickory, WB, GB and OL.

Congrats to all teams and those headed to the playoffs, especially First Colonial, Hickory and Western Branch who have exceeded (other's) expectations.

Too bad about NR's troubles, the paper article shed some light.


I think the newapaper article was a red herring to place the blame where it doesn't belong. Believe me that article didn't tell the whole story. NR didn't come anywhere near pre season expectations from their very first game. Find out who contacted the Pilot, what was their agenda? Talk to others about the parties involved. It's pretty hard to take a guy who donated over $100,000 to a program and make him a bad guy, especially since he's given so much to so many other individuals and programs without drawing attention to himself but they did it.
I'd say it's a classic case of shifting blame to divert attention from the real cause of the problem, and to say antything about his son who's a great kid and good enough ball player to play on any team in this area is low.
