I wasn’t surprised that wb won but was at the scoreYES you did! WB played great! I guess the pitching strategy I was telling my sons friend finally paid off!
We won the first game 11-0 and lost the second game 17-10.I wasn’t surprised that wb won but was at the score
The ineligible player was a JV pitcher that came in for an inning but pitched yesterday so he could possibly be "ineligible". I heard he threw 37 and the pitch cap to have no rest is 35. So take that with how you want.Salem 17
WB 10
...but WB is protesting the game over an alleged ineligible player.
Seems like Alliance had a good finish and has some momentum for the tournament. I stayed in town and watched the JV game but heard Minerva had 1 bad inning which seems to be the theme for the Lions this year. Hope they can represent the EBC well and get a tournament win at River View tomorrow.Thursday 5/12
Alliance 6

Alliance finishes the EBC Campaign at 5-7. Plenty of ball left to play with non-league games and tournament time. Alliance will play Home against Nordonia on Tuesday.
From what I have seen, Minerva has been playing a lot better ball recently.Seems like Alliance had a good finish and has some momentum for the tournament.

From what i heard, he threw over 40 pitches the day before. The OHSAA rule allows you to throw back to back days if you throw less than 30 pitches the first day.The ineligible player was a JV pitcher that came in for an inning but pitched yesterday so he could possibly be "ineligible".

Minerva lost tournament game to River View 12-8. I heard it was a great game but river view had a big inning in bottom 6 and scored 5 or 6 runs. The Lions played a clean game but River View hit the ball very well. There was over an hour rain delay but enemy got it in..Final League Standings

They improved defensively as the season went on. They were in most games and competitive. Didn’t hit that well, going to lose some good pitchers but Smith, Rich, Common and Frasier all come back, all are infield starters and pitched some. From what I saw they all can hold their own. Hopefully they can improve in the win column. I really like both the varsity and jv coaches.From what I have seen, Minerva has been playing a lot better ball recently.
Absolutely yes.So Marlington won the league, Salem was second, West Branch, South and Carrollton tie for third. Pretty much what everyone expected in terms of finishes but way closer than what people thought it would be. Great year for the league with the exception of Minerva
37-40, whatever. At the end of the day he is a JV pitcher for a reason. We should have teed off on him and this wouldn't have been a problem.From what i heard, he threw over 40 pitches the day before.

Pretty much finished as expected. Hopefully some EBC teams can make a run in the tournament..So Marlington won the league, Salem was second, West Branch, South and Carrollton tie for third.

I wouldn't count them out yet, maybe there's a rule they can find that says the other team scored too many runsAnother pathetic tournament showing from WB...
I am not too fond of the coach. Can't take a lose like a man, always finds an easy way out.I wouldn't count them out yet, maybe there's a rule they can find that says the other team scored too many runs
Should have never got the position. Didn't earn it. Name recognition only. Probably can't change my mind.I don't want to talk about it...

Laughing loudly! XDI heard Salem did not look good, maybe a tad overrated. I like to see that as a Warriors fan.
We did overpreform this year, I will say.West Branch wasn’t all that good anyway. Salem gave them a charity win on their senior night and pitched some backup jv pitcher and still won 17-10. West branch should be embarrassed by their inabilities in the playoffs. Regular season team is what they’re called
Agreed.Should have never got the position. Didn't earn it. Name recognition only. Probably can't change my mind.
My Warriors are easily the 3rd/4th best team in the EBC. Are you on drugs?I think Salem beats Lousiville if that Rhodes cat is pitching. By far the best player I’ve watched in the league. Didn’t see him on first or second team? Injury, ineligibility, transfer? Either way if Rhodes somehow finds his way back on the field Salem can make some noise. My Dukes definitely have the depth to hang with anyone, though.
My final power rankings for EBC was
Marlington
Salem
Allliance
Canton South
Minerva
Carrollton
West Branch
Excited to see if Rhodes will play and what his reason for MIA is and hoping for a Salem v Marlington rematch. The real reps of the EBC.
