I dunno if I’m good, but, yeah, got to help call our last game. The odds of that happening is pretty rare (since it’s a combination of multiple things), but I did the best I could. Made the most of the opportunity.Tonight’s Fisher-FCA game will be streamed, via internet radio, at fairfieldcountysportsnetwork.com on the Red Stream.
The word is it should be a good crew on the call.
Northmor’s defense was outstanding versus FCA. There were 4-5 highlight worthy plays that could have changed the game. They will be a tough out if they continue to play defense like that. They also barreled a lot of baseballs against a pitcher that several top teams struggled against this year.Northmor’s legit. Good luck to Berne.
This regional sorta got kinked up when Loramie got upset. The last two years Russia has thrown the ace in the semi-final, but both years they had two really solid pitchers.Beware, the Raiders of ROO-shee...
Congrats! You've made it to the regionals. Plenty of reason to celebrate, especially in light of how far the team has come and how it's been a magical postseason to date. The amount of reasons to celebrate, and the general excitement, exceeds the amount of time left to work with in preparation for the Sweet 16.
It used to be the case that winning the D4 Central District title was as hard (if not harder than) winning the Regional Title that followed, but... due to the recent OHSAA reappropriation of the D4 Central District to Region 16 (the southwest region) and out of Region 15 (the southeast) -- because they stopped sending the East District champion to Region 13 (northeast) -- it's actually a much, much steeper hill to climb.
Hooray. We live in a big state, and playing in this regional gives you a firsthand glimpse as to how big the statewide baseball scene is outside of the Central District. Enjoy the moment, take it in; prepare well and play ball.
Russia: a familiar face to some Cardinal peers. Solid baseball. Good fundamentals. Very hard to beat them when they play a clean game defensively, but if they get into an error rut (and yes, they can) they can be beat.
It looks like Calvert will have a somewhat easy Sweet 16 game. The other side looks harder with Dalton/Hillsdale v JFK.I think the toughest Div. IV regional will be the NE this year
Too bad there was such a stiff wind blowing in. Garrett Roach absolutely blasted two that went to the fence for Alder. On a normal day those balls are both over 400ft. The second one was maybe as hard of hit HS ball I’ve seen that would have given them the lead in the bottom of the 6th. Bottom line is you can’t have five errors on any day, let alone a district final.
Lake Center Christian went 1-1 against JFK in the regular season and both games went 8 innings so we shall see. Calvert isn’t playing all that well right now for whatever reason. But that lineup has some serious beef (3-4-5 hitters all over 250lbs).It looks like Calvert will have a somewhat easy Sweet 16 game. The other side looks harder with Dalton/Hillsdale v JFK.
Good to know. My original point, via innuendo, was BC winning District for the (‘however many’) time in the last decade doesn’t always have to be on the front page; especially when there’s an underdog story in the same county that just won its first District crown since the interwar era.Too bad there was such a stiff wind blowing in.

There is not even an article at all from the Lancaster Eagle Gazette about Berne winning the district. Chad Cupp and that team deserve better! This is their first district title since the 1930s. Tom has his two go-tos: Lancaster and Bloom. Everyone else gets scraps.Good to know.

I stand corrected, there was a write up today. I was looking for two days online and saw nothing.There is not even an article at all from the Lancaster Eagle Gazette about Berne winning the district.
