Three Rivers Conference 2025

 
Much like the WOAC, I think the TRC will be down a little from last year. Bethel lost a ton from last year. TC still has Simmons, but they lost a lot too, and the Major kid decided not to come back to TC. Lehman has a new coach, but they still have Lachey. Covington's new coach will have to replace a lot of guys from last year. Milton has the Kimmel kid. You never can tell which Riverside team will show up. They might sneak up on a few people. Northridge is Northridge.

I think Miami East is the team to beat this year. They lost some good players, but they seem to just reload. I know they have a lot of talented kids coming up in the travel ball circuit. Hamaker, Penny, and then Smith on the mound will make them tough. Just imagine if McDowell had not transferred to Troy.

Great input!

Didn't know that Brunswick wasn't coaching? I thought he was the AD as well.

Hearing McDowell is at Moeller this year. Any truth to thar?
 
PrairieDog said:
Yes, Brunswick is their AD. He hired one of his former players from Bellefontaine to be the head coach, so I'm sure he will still be involved with the team in some capacity.

He was barely involved with the team last year and he was the HC.
From what I have been told Kinger was pretty much coaching them all year.

Old news, went at winter break.

The 2 best players from schools in the TRC are not in the league............

That's crazy. There was a rumor going around last summer that Lachey was going to jump ship too, but he stayed put. Just goes to show you there is talent in the league.
 
Scrolling through Twitter I saw Troy Christian beat Covington 9-0... but in 9 innings! Judah Simmons for Troy Christian went 7 innings and struck out 11. Tyler Jay went 8 innings for Covington, and struck out 14. Covington imploded when they had to go to the bullpen. That's quite a pitching duel for the starters.
 
Lehman loses 9-3 to Milton and neither Lachey or Schmieing pitch...........
I guess they are going with the accumulate wins over bad teams vs trying to win the league.........

Very interested in how TC looks when Judah isnt on the mound. That should be the difference at the end of the year.
Was anyone at the game last night. Obviously Cov ran out of gas but was it BB and E or did TC start hitting once Jay was out?

I don't understand not using Lachey or Schmiesing to get a league win. With the weather coming this week, you're not going to get many chances to use them anyway.

I heard it was a lot of walk, HBP, wild pitch, hit, HBP, wild pitch, walk, hit. The website has them down for four errors too. Troy Christian has a lot of younger guys in their lineup. We'll see how they develop throughout the season.

Which is more impressive: Milton starting 3-0 in the league, or Troy Christian beating Miami East 11-2 last night?

Milton is a product of other schools not respecting them early, Lehman and TC did not throw their best, my guess is there were other games they believed would be tougher that week and history said to do so. Great for Milton, they are beating the teams and arms put in front of them. Second time through the league may be different as it will not be a surprise this time. Time will tell.

TC vs ME was a 3-2 game going into the 7th and the wheels fell off. Happens in small school baseball.

Milton has Bethel tonight, once again Milton will not see the Ace of the team, Barker pitched Wed vs LC.
 
Milton beat Miami East last night. Who would have thought Bethel and Milton would be the top two teams in the league right now?
 
Next week will determine the conference. Milton has Bethel Monday, LC Tuesday, and TC Thursday all on the road.
TC has Cov Tuesday, Simmons and Jay both pitched last time and it went to extras.
Once again MU may not see Simmons which is why I hate the double round robin. The schedule plays so much into who you face. They should go back to backs like other conferences that go two times through

Troy Christian burned Simmons for 2 1/3 innings last night, and they have Lehman tonight. Looks like they are saving him for Bethel on Thursday.
 
Bethel with the win over Milton tonight 7-3. Went to the game and Bethel scored all 7 runs without recording a single hit.

BET R7 H0 E4
M-U R3 H4 E6

Never seen that before and I’ve been watching baseball for a LONG time…

Bees in the driver seat and the conference is theirs to lose. Apparently, with some of the scores this year… almost literally, anything can happen…

I've never seen that either! It's a shame it happened with Kimmel on the mound.

This week is the test for Milton. They have Lehman tonight, and Troy Christian on Thursday. Can they win two league games this week without throwing Kimmel? They might be praying the rain shows up a little earlier on Thursday!
