Who has the authority to postpone a playoff game before it happens? We traveled to a road game yesterday, raining the entire time. It rained throughout the warmups and radar showed rain continuing. At the pre-game meeting the umpire said he will not allow the game to start under these...

Dayton Christian hires Luke Hurst. https://daytonchristianwarriors.com/2024/02/01/dayton-christian-hires-luke-hurst-as-head-football-coach/

Hurst was just hired as head coach at Dayton Christian. https://daytonchristianwarriors.com/2024/02/01/dayton-christian-hires-luke-hurst-as-head-football-coach/

In the NFL, there is an exception if it's 4th down, a try, or after the 2-minute warning. In these cases, only the player that fumbled the ball can advance a fumble.

Yes you are totally correct. I officiated for 15 years and early in my career we had the final game of the season get totally out of hand. Looking back there were a few borderline personal fouls and unsportsmanlike conduct penalties early in the game that we let go and by the time we started...

Basketball and volleyball in Dayton so it all evens out...

Runner on 2nd with 2 outs. Batter hits a pop up on the infield. Pitcher catches the ball and immediately drops the ball and runs off the field (showboating). Homeplate ump clearly signals out. Batter doesn't make it to first and runs to the dugout. Runner from second touches third but then...

Sean Murphy was drafted in the 3rd round by the Oakland Athletics in 2016. He was born in New York, so he is not an Ohioan, but he did go to high school here (Centerville) and played college ball at Wright State. He just signed a $73M contract with the Braves after a 3.5 WAR season with...

Copy. Another rule pertaining to hitters that I have never seen enforced is 7-3-1.

Following up on this, opening day game yesterday I counted 6 instances of the batter being out of the batter's box when he hit the ball.

Having less than 7 on the line is only legal if you have fewer than 11 players on the field. Even by the new rule you have to have "no more than 4 backs". Look at slides 14 and 15 here: https://www.nmact.org/file/FB_PPt-19-20.pdf

D4 Southwest 3 District Semi-Finals: #5 Springfield Catholic Central 14 #1 Miamisburg Dayton Christian 6 Senior Jayvin Payne pitched 6 innings for the win despite hitting 9 batters. Junior Will Lopez went 4-4 at the plate to lead the offense.

Thanks for the reply. I figure that the home plate ump is entirely focused on the ball and can't really see the feet of the batter. We've ended up playing several games on turf fields (due to the wet conditions) and that's where I saw a few hitters out of the box.

Question for the umpires... how hard is it to see if a batter is out of the box from behind the plate? I've seen it happen about a dozen times in varsity games this season but it was only called once when it was very obvious... suicide squeeze where the batter bunted the ball with most of his...

Dayton Christian 5, Cedarville 4 in 8 innings. Cedarville pitcher Caden McKinnion had a no-hitter going with 8 walks and 8 strikeouts when he reached the 125 pitch limit with one out in the 6th inning. DC scored 3 in the 6th and won it in the 8th on a walk-off single by sophmore Isaac Scanlon.

Wow, tough error. At the moment both teams had it scored as a hit but it must have been retroactively changed. Congrats to Sammy for a great game! That was a great performance.

Dayton Christian got an infield hit in the bottom of the 3rd so it was a one-hitter. Still a dominating performance against a team that scored 9 runs in one inning at Carroll.

Here's a great example of this from the 2015 World Series:

Dayton Christian and Troy Christian split a double header: Game 1: Dayton Christian 10, Troy Christian 3 Game 2: Troy Christian 7, Dayton Christian 2
