they’re going to battle through that they started the season eight and four so been on a little bit of a slide here as they head into tournament play but always some good competition uh with LCC so uh we’ll look and expect that to happen here at Liberty bent High School great day for baseball when is very Breezy feels like it’s kind of blowing into US 78 M or 78° wind blowing into us I I thought maybe as I drove up here it be blowing out to left field we might see one off of the uh Jack and do hit it here pizza for a year Fieldhouse um but right now it’s actually slowing down as the wind was

chance leading off for the Thunderbirds the center fielder number six Michael Quatman so quatman’s going to come to the play we don’t have any stats on LCC as elrt stands at third in on the Green Turf first pitch catches the outside corner for strike one first pitch strike one at 50:4 pm. 78 degree game time temperature beautiful day here for baseball Han delivers that one’s fouled back over our heads strike two good start here as I said in the opener Hans having a great season leading the team in most pitching statistics except for erra has pitched a lot of games that one into dirt nice stop by burkam one ball two strikes lead off hitter thanks to those tuning in youth day here at the fields tons of Youth joining our Varsity players on the field today exciting times the future is bright for the Eagles Quatman now calls time again Han on the mound burkam the stalwart behind the plate swing and a miss Quatman down on strikes for the first out of the inning now batting second baseman number three Jake nyman did somebody yell Neeman I think they did I might have had it wrong defensive alignment for the Eagles pretty standard Seth elur in left Landon stands bearing Center Ashton Crawford in right again Han on the mound one down top of the first burkam behind the plate Seth or excuse me Zack elker even with a bag at third curveball lifted to the right side Crawford going to come in and make a diving grab Fly ball diving grab by Ashton Crawford for the second out of the inning now batting Short Stop number four Matthew Quatman great diving effort there as that one was in the Gap and Crawford great jump on it nice diving grab feet first made it look easy as we now have two down two down Han rocks and fires that one misses inside ball one just about hit him infield defensive alignment for the Eagles Zack elker at third his at Short Conor Arnold at second Trevon leeb at first swing and a miss one and one to count today’s designated hitter is Mason mod that one just misses inside two and one Han deing here at 81 miles an hour feeling it on a great beautiful day 78 mile 78 degrees check swing yes sir that’s a strike two balls two strikes two down top of the first Eagles hosting the Thunderbirds they came into the game N9 and 10 reeling after a fast start this season is what their coach said and when misses inside that tailing fast ball at 82 miles hour Han really diing it up here early of course the ball field on the lb side is stands are packed with all the youth here today slow roller to the left side his can’t come up with it on a diving catch I don’t know if he would have got him at first anyways single for Quatman two down now batting catcher number 14 Billy Burke so put that one in the hole that was going to be base hit nice effort by his to kind of sliding backhand it would have been a heck of a play if he would have got him I don’t know if he would have even had a chance again we thank everybody for tuning in just the top of the first year off to a late start as we introduced boy I don’t know how many 60 youth here today joining our Varsity players on the field exced exciting times as Burke the catcher big tall catcher digs in from the left side that one in dirt nice stop by burkam LCC going looking to get on the board early here defensively Stanberry straight away in Center despite the Lefty at the plate little bit surprising there as the wind blowing in pickoff attempt oh had him leaning but able to stumble back is Quatman don’t have any stats on pickoffs I know that stanbury’s got a boatload of them that was a great move there by by Han another pickoff attempt he’s not getting a good read off of Han he kind of stutters a little bit but Quatman able to get back again one ball no strikes two down top of the first here at Liberty Benton High School Eagles on their final three- game home stand including sectionals on Friday that one lifted High to the left side eler from Left Field charging charging going toward the bullpen Dives looks like he makes a catch I don’t yeah we got it that’s a catch fly ball to left field hauled in by the diving oer for the third out of the inning no runs on one hit one Runner left and we head to the bottom of the first z0 what a play there by Seth elert ranging way to his right into the bullpen diving went out of our vision and uh boy it took the umpires forever to call it which kind of out of their Vision too give him a break there and and uh showed the ball and Snider rung him up and uh no arguments from the coach uh so we’ve got ourselves a hit or we got ourselves the third out of the inning and uh a good inning there for Han although the LCC did put the bat on the ball even though he’s climbing into the 82 mph range so no runs one hit one Runner left no walks and a strike out we’ll go through the defensive alignment here for LCC as we write it down Quatman Michael is in center field uh in left field is falky in right field is schneiders at third base is Day Hill Short Stop is Matthew Quatman gota assume those two are brothers at second base is nyman could be Neiman might have to go with Neiman going forward first base is Malcolm on the mound being pitch or being DH for his Parker and behind the plate is Burke who lifted that highfly ball into left field was hauled in in the bullpen again great catch there I got Neiman also the [Music] DH so good start for the Eagles here we thank everybody for tuning in nice curveball there by Parker on the mound another guy pretty lengthy for LCC again no stats for LCC unable to stumble across those catcher’s got a good arm leading off the bottom of the first for the Eagles the right fielder number 19 Ashton Crawford I don’t know if I’ve missed it this season or if that’s the first time it happened but uh Crawford and the catcher Burke giving each other fist bump not sure if those guys are familiar with each other that’s a standard first batter scenario didn’t you don’t usually see that in high school first pitch misses outside 76 miles hour ball one to Crawford Crawford on the season batting 321 having a great year that one misses low again 76 miles hour low and outside two and0 to Crawford Ashton batting 321 uh has played an 18 of the 23 Eagles games 22 Eagle games excuse me that one misses way outside Burke unable to handle that one Lee the batter on in the hole runs over to retrieve that one three and0 here Crawford expect be taken all the way interesting that the defensive alignment straight up here would expect that if this one’s a strike I would expect Crawford to be squaring around on the 3-1 pitch takes that one catches the inside corner for a strike three and one would expect him to be button here with a third baseman two steps behind the bag at third and Crawford the Speedy leadoff hitter for the Eagles bottom of the first 0 3-1 pitch on its way that one just about catches his nose Ball Four Crawford draws the lead off walk now batting for the Eagles the short stop number three Conor his Crawford on the season stolen bases eight his not bunting that one catches the outside corner for a strike at 74 not bunting his leads a team in a bunch of offensive categories batting average 419 on base percentage 500 26 hits tied for the lead with 20 singles with Trevon Lee who coincidentally is on Deck does Square takes just misses outside one and one Crawford with a nice secondary lead but no uh Danger on being picked off there his now gets the sign one and one third baseman now even with the bag for LCC that’s Dill Malcolm holding on Crawford squares again there’s a bunt back to the pitcher this is a great bunt Burks going to feel as a catcher no chance at first uhoh Here Comes Crawford to third we got to play at third he’s going to be in under it bunt single for his great base running Crawford to Third now batting first baseman oh we’re going to have uh we’re gonna have an appeal here I think palnik you make having to make the call first and third and uh I thought that the ball beat him but I thought Crawford missed the tag I I thought he slid around the tag so we’ll see if he appeals to the home plate umpire he’s definitely not happy with the call but being respectful as he talks to pnik in the field of course pnik had to call him safe at first and then had to wheel around and look at third Snyder has a better angle on it I to be honest from home we’ll see as they now are huddling if there’s a change again a bang bang play at third pnck called him safe the longer this deliberation the worst I think it gets for the Eagles still safe now batting for the Eagles the first baseman number 15 Trevon Lee so I don’t know exactly how they rule that I’m going to call it a single but I think it’s probably a sacrifice but man that was such a good bunt by his Runners now at the corners for the Eagles no outs bottom of the first game tied at zero first pitch there goes a delayed steal by his throw to the second baseman lets it go through it hits his and he’s safe boy a lot of action his steals second on the pitch so Runners at second and third lot of action there I don’t know that was that a strike nope that was a ball one ball no strikes so now Runners at second and third you got your best one of your best hitters Trevon Lee he’s got 20 signals that’s tied for the team lead 25 rbi’s tied for the team lead it’s having a great years that one’s in the dirt nice stop by Burke keeps the runners where they’re stationed two balls no strikes little discussion now between uh Catcher And pitcher not sure if they’re getting crossed up on signals again we thank everybody for tuning in to the broadcast here Eagles looking for a fast start here to shake off the cobwebs from Saturday’s 5 loss to a good Defiance team always a big good program up there as the Eagles traveled up there on Saturday Trevon Lee at the plate hiss at second craw at first excuse me third Runners at second and third first in at the corners is LCC double not double play depth because there’s not a runner at first that one high but called a strike two and one Lee taken all the way Lee also leads a team with 16 walks and has two sacrifice flies here’s a sacrifice fly opportunity for the young man he’s tied for the lead with sacrifice flies wind starting to shift now over more right to left making that play by Seth elur in the first impressive as that one’s fouled straight back into the glass if we had the iPad we’d be doing some glass break nobody from LCC retrieves the ball so Connor Arnold will do so I guess that’s probably on the offensive side how it’s supposed to be two balls two strikes here to Lee bottom of the first there goes the scoreboard z z is the score and just like that it’s back as Lee standing right on top of the plate there’s a slow roll to the right side second baseman going to field it cleanly throws on to first got him ground ball nean to Malcolm for the first out of the inning but Crawford scores the first run for the Eagles now batting third baseman Zack elart his advance to third on the play so nice work there by Lee breaks the RBI tie that he had with this young man Zack elert who has a chance to time right back up that first pitch catches the outside corner at 76 miles an hour Parker steady di to 76 mph fast balls on the outside corner see how the Eagles adjust again Zack having a great season as well for the Eagles leads the team and doubles with six home runs with two rbi’s tied well now trailing came in tied see fouls that one back no balls two strikes he leads the team in run scored with 24 sacrifice flies tied at two so sacrifice fly we give him the leaded sacrifice flies and time back for the lead in RBI for the team second all the infielders in now from LCC that one just misses outside one ball two strikes tough take there for elker but gets the call Zack does lead the team in strikeouts though with 14 Parker sets one ball two strike here’s the pitch that one’s lifted high in the infield Noe center fielder now charging second baseman goes out he makes the grab his not tagging got a late jump there little miscommunication Fly ball by elert hauled in by the second baseman Neeman for the second out of the inning now batting for the Eagles second baseman number 17 Conor Arnold so Arnold comes to the plate and what should have been a big inning so far is only one run and I’m sure that Parker and the coach for LCC schneiders would be happy to walk out of here with just one run given up first pitch on the outside corner 75 miles hour fast ball first strike one to Arnold Arnold on the season also having a really good year he’s batting 239 leads the team and hit by pitch with 12 he’d take one here or sacrifice bunts with four that one J misses outside one and one not a sacrifice bunt opportunity of course with two down one ball one strike two outs Eagles lead by one in the bottom of the first that one in dirt nice stop there by Burke that keeps his 90 fet away at third base two balls one strike to Conor Connor Arnold Connor Co joined by his younger brother Cooper Arnold today and youth baseball Day so a thrill I’m sure for the Arnold Family two balls one strike swing and a miss I thought it was strike three Arnold just strike two well that’s relax oh is that the BBC trophy over there got the BBC Trophy up here scoreboard Mafia p pointing that out Cameron oswal and Maguire I don’t know his last name remains unknown joining us up here doing a great job on the scoreboard as Arnold chops at that one and stays alive two balls two strikes two down one runner on Eagles leading one nothing here at Liberty baton High School taking on the LCC Thunderbirds Parker rocks and Fire that one’s High Arnold takes Full Count On Deck is Seth elert made a great catch to end the first inning sure would love a chance to hit here rnie can get on or push his in way outside Arnold draws the walk put Runners at the corners with two down now batting left fielder number 11 Seth elert so back to Runners at first and third here for the Eagles be interesting to see what Arnold does over there at first of course Raider always likes to push the envelope here in the first and third situations we’ll see if they’re able to execute with two down it’s always a little bit tougher and you got a hot bat at the plate that one catches the outside corner for a strike Seth on the season batting 322 leads a team with three triples and 19 stolen bases so the stats leaders spread pretty evenly throughout the Eagles four or five guys with some greed marks beside them for leaders 01 pitch here Arnold not moving way outside nice stop there by Burke keeps everybody at Bay I mentioned it earlier when he batted in the first Burke a real tall catcher very athletic strong arm we did first and third in the uh earlier part of the inning he threw that one down to second just a rocket not going hesitation elker drives one deep to right right fielder going back back and he’s got it Fly ball to right field hul in by sheeters ends the inning but the Eagles strike for one run on one hit in strand two after one complete they lead one- nothing fans again just a reminder today’s game is being live streamed on YouTube in order to watch the live stream if you have friends and family currently at home they can search YouTube for lb Eagles baseball again search YouTube for lb Eagles baseball to catch the live stream action and of course when you return home this evening you can rewatch today’s game also the concession stand is open and fully stocked plenty of ice cold drinks to keep you hydrated and the popcorn smells fantastic visit the concession stand on the third base side of the Press Box so Eagles threatened multiple times there but uh only able to strike through with one like I said uh coach sneers would be I’m sure is happy with that result you never want to give up a run in the first but boy could have been a lot worse as Eagles had Runners on second and third with no outs and then Runners at first and third with two outs so uh he’s he’s ultimately got to be happy I think there no errors Eagles left too on base one walk no strikeouts for the Eagles but the Eagles do lead one nothing now batting right fielder number two JJ schneiders so JJ to the plate he one has got to suspect that he is the coach’s son with the same last name as now Zack elker at third two steps in on the Green Turf expecting bunt first pitch catches the outside corner for a strike Han in the first struck out one did give up a hit that one misses inside and low I probably low more so than inside actually one ball one strike just 75 miles an hour on that breaking ball standard defensive alignment outside of Zack elert who’s at third now one step in on the Green Turf that one ah had to be low looked good had to be low that’s hard for us to see up here higher low two balls one strike now two sneers that one misses high on outside tailing away fast ball three and one again we thinkk everybody for tuning in it’s the top of the second Eagles lead one- nothing swing and a miss for sneers three balls two strikes one nothing top of the second great day for baseball 78 degrees nice breeze that one’s ripped down the third Basel line and into the bullpen foul we’ll do it again here Full Count sneers the five hole hitter playing right field made a nice grab on the Fly ball by elert tell you what he honestly put a big charge into that one I thought it was going to be a little bit deeper but I think I think the uh the wind coming in really hung that one up schneiders made a nice play Swing in a Miss schneer down on strikes for the first out of the inning now batting the third baseman number eight Braden Day Hill so nice work there by Han battling back down 3-1 in the count and uh works the strike out gets the fist pump from his third baseman Zack eler who now taking a step back even with the bag at third first pitch Chopper right back to burkam who finds it and gloves it but he’s in foul territory would have been any interesting if he would let that go if it would have rolled into Fair territory not likely but felt like it had maybe a little bit of Top Spin stanbury now comes in a couple steps as does eleron left in Center that one in for a strike at 81 miles hour again H just opening things up the tall lanky senior pitcher ahead to count no balls two strikes one out here in the top of the second there’s a chopper back to the pitcher Han gently Fields it throws on to first got him Han to lead for the second out of the inning now batting the designated hitter number 22 Nick Neeman so nice job there by Han I actually thought burkam might take it and Han just ever so graciously Fields it throws on to leave for the second out of the inning Neeman to the plate designated hitter that went in for a strike 80 miles hour there he’s batting for the pitcher Brady Parker and his brother I can only assume is playing second base for LCC that one off the inside toe of burkam and down the third Baseline not sure if Snider’s hurt or burk’s hurt and I think it’s I think I one caught it Snider as burkam makes the courtesy visit to the pitcher and Returns the ball one ball one strike so uh Brothers Neeman on the team Brothers Quatman on the team and Father’s son coach sneers and right fielder sneers So Family Affair here for the LCC Thunderbirds as it’s one-1 pitch from Han swing and a miss strike two one ball two strikes two down top of the second Eagles lead one- nothing strike three looking Neeman down on strikes for the third out of the inning no runs no hits and none left as we head to the bottom of the second Eagles lead one to nothing a great ending there by Han star off a little slow going three and one but then puts up a bunch of goose eggs and two strikeouts to add to his team lead came into the game with 50 strikeouts leading stanbury by five and adding to it with three in the first two innings again we thank everybody for tuning in today just a beautiful day for baseball looking at some uh Senior Day items looks like uh Conor Bush’s favorite sports pickle ball and golf Conor is going to be going to Ohio Northern University for accounting favorite memory appears to be the baseball trips we will try to touch on some of those throughout the game leading off the bottom of the second for the Eagles the center fielder number 13 Landon stanburry stanbury comes into the game having a great season pitching lead a team with tied for the team lead game started except for today Han passes him as that first pitch in high at 72 miles hour leads a team with six wins he is G his ER is 63 would be leading the team except for Seth elard is at zero that one J misses him and his inside two and0 on a season at the plate Landon Stanberry batting 288 17 singles and has scored 17 times that one misses High three and0 so Parker starting off the second inning much like Han with a little bit of control issues for those just tuning in it’s the bottom of the second Eagles leading the Thunderbirds one- nothing that one’s called a strike three and one Stanbery didn’t hesitate taking all the way at 3 0 3-1 bottom of the second no outs Eagles lead one to nothing that one catches the outside corner for a strike three and two now to stanbury the count runs full as Parker battling back for the Thunderbirds that one misses outside Ball Four Stanberry leads off the second with a walk now batting the pitcher number five Jarrett Han so stanbury gets the lead off walk for the Eagles Honda the plate would expect him to maybe be Bunning the Lefty he does squares around BS that one into the screen we’ll see if Day Hill at third for the Thunderbirds makes an adjustment he was even with the bag last pitch we’ll see if he adjusts in see if there’s any defensive adjustments there for LCC Han on a season batting 271 doing it from both sides of the plate when he gets both sides of the field when he gets the opportunities there his pickoff move having a great day on great season on the mound and great season in the field and at the plate all ground great senior season for Jarrett stands very nice lead over there at first couple steps in is Day Hill at third 01 pitch high and outside big lead secondary there by stanbury Brook looked like he was going to throw to first and hesitated a little bit challenging here with Han the Lefty kind of in his way on that throw to first one ball one strike no down no outs bottom of the second Eagles lead one to nothing squares again takes outside for strike two so now in the hole we’ll see if he’s Bunning at one ball two strikes of course any bunts got to be fair with two strikes Han does have two sacrifices on the season right back up the middle that’s a base hit for Han Stanberry rounds B hung up a little bit in the center field but he’ll stay there base hit up the middle for Han Runners at first and second for the Eagles now batting the designated hitter number six 16 Mason mod so nice piece of hitting there by Han right back up the middle pitcher Parker no chance to field it thought Sansbury might be able to get to third as the ball kind of got hung up in the grass but uh Raider being a little bit cautious there as now first baseman in couple steps on the Green Turf for LCC squares to bunt catches the outside corner for a strike that’s where Parker likes to work is that fast B the outside corner so far today and that’s going to be a tough spot for ma if he’s laying down the bunt it’s automatically going to him right to First and that first baseman way in now is Malcolm for LCC no balls one strike no outs bottom of the second squares deun again gets that one down to the pitcher is he going to go to three nope looks throws to first got him Parker to second baseman Neeman covering first for the first out of the inning as mod lays down down the sacrifice bunt now batting right fielder number 19 Ashton Crawford so a nice piece of sacrifice Bunning there by Ma I thought that Parker might take a swing at 30 looked did not make the throw and made a nice play to Neeman who ranged over from second to cover first on the wheel play but great great sacrifice there now Crawford comes to the plate in the first he walked and scored the only run of the game so far that one catches the outside corner for a strike so now Runners at second and third Stanberry stands at third he let off the inning with a walk Han at second he had a single Crawford the leadoff hitter playing right field today the senior is going to be joining the vaugh apprenticeship program after graduation that one’s lifted High to left field back deep goes the left fielder deep deep over can’t make the grab as it hits the fence one Run’s going to score Han being waved around no play at the plate that’s a two-run double to left by Crawford two- run double to left field by Crawford stands Barry and Han score now batting the short stop number three Conor yes a deep drive there there by Crawford Han had to hold up a little bit to make sure he wasn’t going to make the catch the left fielder had a beat on it was falky made a great effort as it one hopped the fence as Crawford put a charge into that one there’s a shot right back to the second baseman nean Fields it cleanly throws to first got him as Crawford advances to third ground ball the second baseman Neiman throws on to Malcolm for the second out of the inning two down Crawford Advan is a third on the play now batting for the Eagles the first baseman number 15 Trevon Lee so his was uh first pitch swinging there hit a hot shot but right at the second baseman tough break there for the young man he’s now one for two today big curve at 65 first time I saw Parker throw a curveball that one misses high and outside to Lee Lee into first grounded out to the second baseman that did score a run that was the first run of the ball game for the Eagles but now struck for two here in the second that one catches the inside corner for a strike one and one two down Crawford with the two-run double stands at third Eagles lead three nothing here in the bottom of the second versus the LCC Thunderbirds standard defensive alignment for the birds that one into dirt nice stop there by Burke the catcher boy just a great looking catcher we’ve you know John odono talks about it a lot we’ve seen it all season long just some great catchers in this community in this area that we’ve had come here of course burkam Meer gets all the fan favorites here at lb but the defense has brought some as well that one’s lifted high and out of play heads up to the youth nobody died thank goodness out there again youth day here as a liberty Benton youth baseball program continues to be a strong feeder to this high school program many of the guys on the field today for the varsity spent time in our youth program saw some pictures as a two two pitch comes in Lee lifts that one to the left side third baseman giving charge that one’s going to hit the fence and be foul like I said a lot of Youth went up through our program saw a lot of pictures of from you know kindergarten and youth baseball nights preview night pictures uh all the way to senior night great to see those faces and great to see so many kids work their way up through the program and today 60 youth at least joining us today for youth day here at Liberty Benton High School two balls two strikes two down two runs in Crawford dancing over there at third that one into dirt Burke nice stop again as that one’s in the dirt three balls two strikes bottom of the second Eagles have struck for two runs on two hits so far Lee looking to push through another one for the Eagles Slow Roll to the right side foul ball nice field nice job Fielding it by Malcolm again we thank all those for tuning in today here at Liberty Liberty Benton high school as the Eagles lead three to nothing here in the bottom of the second fairly slow moving game a lot of foul balls so far today Parker gets a sign 3-2 pitch here to Lee with two outs swing and a Miss Lee down on strikes for the third out of the inning but the Eagles strike for two runs on two hits and after two complete they lead three to nothing so nice sting there by the Eagles again like I said two runs two hits no errors left one all earned runs let’s see any walks we had one walk we had a sacrifice anying had at all one walk one strikeout two walks versus one strikeout for the Eagles as Han will go to the mound here we’re going to stop at the top of the third again Eagles leading three to nothing here Liberty bent high school as the season winds down second to last regular season home game for the Eagles of course will be here Friday night for the sectional game versus the winner of OG and Van Beren that game scheduled to start at five o’clock Eagles have faced both teams and run ruled both but this is high school baseball you never know what can happen any given night you run into the bet a tough pitcher or just have a tough day at the plate and it could be all over Eagles looking to get their first sectional win since that Cinderella year of 2019 when we made it to the district finals lost to the eventual state champion colder Cavaliers leading off the top of the third for the Thunderbirds first baseman number 11 Brady Malcolm so Malcolm to the plate he’s a lefty he’s going to dig in versus Han H’s giv up one hit no runs has not walked anybody struck out three in just two innings add to his season lead 50 strikeouts giving him 53 on the year revs up and fires that one into the dirt you guessed it burkam stopped it ball one Sol back up the middle hiss behind second base Fields throws got him ground ball hiss to Lee for the first out of the inning now batting left fielder number nine Caden faly nice play there by his as Han waved at it behind his back and thank goodness he missed it as his fielded it behind second base made nice throw and got Malcolm by three steps easy swing and a miss first pitch 78 mph heater as he climbs the ladder strike one falky the nine hole hitter wearing number nine that one’s in the dirt gets by burkam to The Back Stop Lead off hitter Quatman comes over to grab it nine-hole hitter wearing number nine but not playing position number t nine he’s in left field n a nice play on Crawford’s double swing and a miss in the bottom of the second inning but couldn’t come up with it see traversed way back to the fence and couldn’t hold in one ball two strikes one down Han rocks and fires climbs the ladder at 79 miles hour and falky takes ball two burm behind the plate his plans after college are to attend BGSU to major in nursing that one just misses inside three and two excited about that I’m a BG alum in the nursing program one of the newer programs at BGSU amazing facilities I was able to be fortunate enough to take a tour of those and to make sure I talked to Mr burkam about that that’s exciting hot shot to the right side nice play by Lee hauls it in line drive hauled in by the diving Lee at first base two down in the inning now batting lead off hitter number six center fielder Quatman boy what a nice play there by Lee at first and Han giving him the respect with the point of the finger as he ranged down towards the foul line to haul that one in that one misses low and outside ball one quman in the first let off let off the game with a strikeout one of three so far today for Han swing on a Miss Zack elker not expecting him to uh be swinging away there as he is one to two steps in on the Green Turf at third one ball one strike two down that one low two and one wind now blowing in and to left that one catches the outside corner for a strike Quatman was taking two balls two strikes doesn’t look like schneer at the head coach and third base coach was too happy about that one 21 or 2-2 22 there it is that one climbs the ladder 82 miles an hour for Han he’s been tapping that number quite a bit today as a win gusting in that was ball three three balls two strikes two down top of the third Eagles leading the Thunderbirds three to nothing slow roller to the right side now Lee ranges way to his side and Han can’t get there infield single for Quatman now batting oh correction foul ball well I thought maybe it hit his leg I thought maybe it hit his leg it looked like it rolled out funny and boy it just took him forever to call it it just didn’t take control it looked funny when it rolled off of his leg Lee ranged to his right and Han didn’t read it well and Quatman was going to be safe because Han was not at first base as that one’s lifted High into the infield here Arnold camping under at second he’s got it Fly ball hauled in by second baseman Conor Arnold for the third out of the inning three up three down for the Thunder birds as we head to the bottom of the third the Eagles lead three to nothing so I’m sure quman disappointed there should be a teaching moment I think for the Eagles couple couple of them there as Lee ranged way too far to his right to field it in front of Arnold at second and then Han anytime that Ball’s on the right side needs to be anticipating having to cover first and he did not react well so not sure if they you know give them the benefit of the doubt here as the ball was off the batter’s leg and into Fair territory so maybe they recognize that and just uh were were make going through the motions because they already knew it was foul and it was my fault for seeing it too late but I did not see the Umpire signal foul and Quatman ran all the way through so I don’t I don’t think that’s the case but we we’ll uh we’ll try to find out postgame nonetheless three up three down for Han who’s pitching a great game so far just given up one hit hasn’t walked anybody and struck out three now in three Innings we’re going to head to the top of the third Eagles leading three to nothing leading off the bottom of the third for the Eagles third baseman number 14 Zack elert ELR flew out to second base in the first so he’s going to be looking for some Redemption here after Crawford put a charge into one to the left field fence he’s going to be trying to match that as well as Parker slips and falls on the pitch misses high in outside ball one boy beautifully temperature control 68 degrees here in a Warner mechanical Press Box as it’s 78 degrees outside at the field that one’s lifted high and out of play into the corn stocks one ball one strike to Zach the sophomore again having a great season offensively leads the team and doubles with six home runs with two trailing Trevon Lee in rbi’s but came in the game tied that one misses outside and low two and one Zach primarily playing mostly right field and then sometimes some third two and one hot shot to the third baseman he absorbs it throws on to first first baseman can’t handle it infield single for eler now batting second baseman number 17 Conor Arnold I’m going infield single there easily could be an error but feeling gracious today and generous as we got a ton of fans tuning in for today’s ball game so elkert stands at first Zack that is of the ELR triumphant not run running first pitch on the outside corner First Strike Connor in the first walked did not score Zack on a season eight stolen bases his brother Seth leads the team with 19 he’s running Burke can’t handle it ball one eler steals second on the pitch but really would like to see Burke take a shot at him he’s got a cannon behind the plate for LCC one ball one strike Zack now in scoring position at seconds the top of the third Eagles lead three to nothing over the LCC Thunderbirds first baseman now way in on the Green Turf is Malcolm expecting the bunt second baseman also shifting over Casey’s got a cover first on the wheel Arnold squares takes ball to outside two and one again I talk about the catchers boy the these young men are just so impressive and this young man Burke behind the plate for LCC signaling to his coach hey that was outside don’t argue it just uh boy what a what a great composure this young man has like to know what year he is what a great kid that one does catch the outside corner strike two two and two also doing a night job not showing up the Umpire Billy Burke number 14 he’s a senior that makes a lot of sense position say pitcher and utility obviously is the catcher today bats Lefty throws righty two balls two strikes to Connor Arnold top of the third Eagles lead three to nothing versus LCC Arnold says that one hits him delayed call by Snyder he’s got it Arnold hit by the pitch now batting left fielder number 11 Seth elart so you guessed it folks Conor Arnold came into the game leading the team with 12 hit by pitch that’s number 13 that one was close I think that one probably just grazed the sleeve Parker’s got to be upset with that one as now Eagles have Runners at first and second no outs Seth you’re better he lifted a fly Ball Deep to right field got hung up in the wind off and running to Zach H that ball’s in the hole Zach slips it third touch retouches the base going to come home here’s the throw way off line and Arnold great running fight all Eagles as their all hands are safe at second and third base hit to left field brings home Zack eler Runners advancing to second and third on the throw now batting center fielder number 13 Landon stanburry so Zack was running on the play third baseman had to cover Seth puts it right in the hole where the third baseman was Zack uh slipped on the bag had to retrace his steps and actually probably an advantage for the Eagles as the left fielder falky thought he could throw him out and all the runners had wisely Advanced on the throw that one into dirt nice stop by Burke ball one so Zack eler scores behind the hit of his brother Seth Runners now at second and third Arnold Arnold standing at third Stanberry to the plate in a second he walked and scored a run for the Eagles who now lead four to nothing bottom of the Third in on the corners is LCC there’s a shot to left field that’s going to be a base hit Here Comes Arnold Seth elert rounding hard there’s the throw in being cut by the third baseman base hit to left field by stanbury that brings in Arnold and Seth elker for the second and third runs of the inning six of the ball game for the Eagles timeout being called here big hit there by stanbury two run single sneer is going to go out and talk to his pitcher the pitcher is Parker Brady Parker just a freshman throw is pretty good at 76 and we might have ourselves a pitching change here as a young man has just walked in we’ll see if we can get a number on that guy guys see this guy’s number I think it’s the third base first baseman number who’s that number 23 number 23 went to third first this guy’s a lefty got a number on him got 11 11 number 11 coming in to pitch so that’s the first baseman welc who was the pitcher number one where did he go is he hit shortstop yep boy all kinds of changes see if we can get this straight Quatman I’m guessing moved to Third Day Hill out Malcolm to the mound defensive adjustments for the Thunderbirds coming into the game replacing Braden Day Hill is number 23 Andrew baloff to play first base moving from first to the mound is Brady Malcolm moving from the mound to shortstop is Brady Parker moving from shortstop to third is Matthew quman for LCC now batting for the Eagles the pitcher number five Jarrett Han so a lot of defensive adjustments there as the Lefty first baseman Malcolm comes into pitch he’s just a sophomore so young is LCC first pitch in for a strike at 6 six he’s a lefty so this will change things up for the Eagles haunt in the second inning singled up the middle and scored a run Eagles lead six nothing here in the bottom of the third hot shot to the right side that’s going to be a base hit Stanbery gets a read on it not coming to Third and Raiders not happy he missed the sign all the way base hit to right field by Han puts Runners at first and second now batting the designated hitter number 16 Mason mod so high grass out there right fielder playing deep Sansbury got a read on it I thought but uh did not get a read on Coach Raider who wanted him run to Third and uh definitely think that he was not being aggressive there with no outs so missign there we’ll see if the Eagles make up for it as now the new first baseman bald off comes way in on a Green Turf expecting bunt mod the N hole hitter did lay down a sacrifice bunt in the second and a beauty LCC expect him to do the same thing as that first pitch in the dirt ball one Runners at first and second here for the Eagles Haunt It first STS bar at second leading six nothing here the bottom of the third curve ball high and outside misses two and0 wind blowing in pretty steady here Liberty Benton that one misses low ball three three and0 here to mod expect him to be taken all the way here maybe even squaring around a bunt now outs here in the bottom of the sixth or bottom of the third excuse me no one misses High ma draws the walk to load the bases now batting the leadoff hitter right fielder number 19 Ashton Crawford Bas is full of eagles whoops Bas is full of eagles here as Crawford comes to the plate the leadoff hitter one for one in the game with a deep double last inning they drove in two he also walked in the first lead off the game and scored the first run of the game hot Chopper back to the shortstop Parker Fields throws the second for one he’s going to hold it that’s going to score a run Crawford grounds out to the shortstop Parker flips on to Neeman for the fielders Choice one down in the inning scoring on a play with Stanberry now batting Short Stop number three Conor hiss so first pitch swinging there was Crawford that’s going to be an out as ma chopped down at second Han at third now Stanberry scored fourth run of the inning seventh of the game for the Eagles Han running there’s the throw caught by the second baseman Crawford steals second on the pitch standard first and third scenario there for the Eagles Crawford takes advantage Burke Rockets one back to the second baseman who’s trying to pick Han off at third no avail so Runners at second and third Han to the plate one for two on the day swing and a miss I game an infield single in the first inning when he laid down a beautiful bunt some could argue it was a sacrifice but the Eagles have runers at second and third now H at third Crawford at second his at the plate no balls two strikes one out curveball lifted High to the right side first baseman bald off chasing chasing nice catch over the shoulder tagging at third and faking is Han Fly ball the right side hauled in by the first baseman bald off for the second out of the inning now batting first baseman number 15 Trevon leeb so nice job there by balof new end of the game at first he came in as Malcolm move from first to the mound Runners at second and third four runs in for the Eagles two down first pitch in for a strike Eagles this is the ninth batter sent to the plate this inning Lee having a tough day today at the plate despite a great season 0 for two today look for that first hit which would be a big one likely driveing two runs as Speedy Crawford stands at second that one misses outside one and one 67 miles hour on the elrt management radar gun one ball one strike two down two on four runs in Eagles leading seven nothing bottom of the third versus the LCC Thunderbirds big curveball misses high 58 miles hour there on the elert management elert financial management radar gun not a very big lead at third for Han Crawford cautious at second as the short stop who was the pitcher Parker holds him on that one misses High three and one again a great turnout here at the ball field today for the Eagles is it is Youth Baseball day today nearly 60 youth baseball players joined their heroes from the high school team on the field today for pregame announcements in a little bit of Fielding before the game that one misses low Ball Four Lee draws the walk to load the bases now batting third baseman number 14 Zack alert to the plate second time this inning let off the inning with a single and scored first pitch in for a strike I mentioned it earlier that he came into the game tied for lead in rbi’s with 25 with Trevon Lee Trevon had one into first elrt with a base hit will tie and likely surpass him for the team lead today’s one for two with a single and a fly out to second first pitch was in for a strike that curve misses outside one and one nice work by Burke trying to frame that for the LCC but to no avail base is loaded two down one ball one strike Eagles lead seven to nothing bottom of the third hot shot to the third baseman Quatman picks it up he’ll step on third for the final of the inning ground ball to the third baseman Quatman unassisted for the third out of the inning but the Eagles strike for four runs on two hits and after three complete they lead seven to nothing Eagles left three runners on that inning base is loaded did have two walks and a hit by pitch we’s see if we can close the book on the Freshman Brady Parker who started the game for LCC so far in the game Eagles have seven runs on five hits they’ve stranded six all the runs earned five walks just one strike out now batting for the Thunderbirds second baseman number three Neiman Neeman in the first flew out to Seth elker who made a nice diving grab in the Eagles Bullpen for the third and final out of that inning first pitch low ball one that one in for a strike at 79 miles hour one ball one strike H your starter he’s still in the game Neiman reaches and fouls that one off so Parker just goes two innings All Those runs are going to be charged to him seven of them gave up four hits walked four struck out one Malcolm came in and got that full inning worth of work that one fouled straight back that would have been a glass break if we would have the features here today but we don’t our color man and special effects guy is not here today on vacation as Han delivers the one ball two pitch one ball two strike pitch that one’s valed straight back excuse me to nean kind of interesting there that uh Gatman grabbed that foul ball before and threw it at SNY and I don’t know if he wasn’t ready whatever he didn’t catch it he looked a little bit angry it’s kind of funny that one’s fouled to the Eagles Dugout on off the screen one ball two strikes here still to Neeman top of the fourth Eagles lead seven to nothing versus LMA Central Catholic Thunderbirds swing and a Miss in the dirt nice work by birkmire to get the tag swing and a miss there by Neeman for the strikeout and one down in the inning now batting shortstop number excuse me third baseman number four Quatman so Quatman moved from Short Stop to third last inning with all the defensive adjustments as Han gets his fourth strikeout of the game Zack eler even with the bag quman checks his swing ball one quman had a single to left deep in the hole between hiss and elard at short and third that was lifted high and over the Press Buck strike one one ball one strike again we thank everybody for tuning in today great day for baseball 78 degrees game time starting temperature sun shining nice breeze blowing directly into our face Eagles leading seven to nothing that one in the dirt and through the five hole of burkam feel like the eagles lacking a little bit of energy here so we’ll see if they can get that fired up as uh couple luminaries out there Lane McDonald in the Lum parent joining us today for the ball game a nice curveball there by Han Freez is quadman Quatman for strike two two balls two strikes one down top of the fourth Eagles lead seven to nothing standard defensive alignment for the Eagles as Han rocks in fires swing and a miss Quatman down on strikes for the second out of the inning now batting the catcher number 14 Burke Han is just dealing now that was filthy and Gatman had no chance Burke comes to the plate the catcher big tall left-handed hitter right-handed thrower lifts that one high down to third Baseline elker giving chase looking for the fence got it as he reaches over the defense foul ball flyball hauled in by Zack alert on the third Baseline for the third and final out of the inning no runs on no hits we head to the bottom of the fourth the Eagles lead seven to nothing so no runs on no hits two strikeouts no walks Han just dealing today five strikeouts so far in the game through four Innings and the Eagles come to the plate here in the fourth leading seven to nothing and I’m sure coach Raiders thinking let’s grab three shut them down in the top of the fifth and let’s end this one early as we get ready for tournament baseball on Friday Eagles are going to send Arnold elker Seth elker and Landon stansbery to the plate unless we have some pinch hitters again wouldn’t expect that to happen unless the Eagles can get to that magical 10-run Mark go Raider talking to Snider just exchanging pleasantries I suspect fact might be warning them of some potential changes that come up if certain situations happen for the Eagles leading off the bottom of the fourth for the Eagles second baseman number 17 Conor Arnold Arnold in the game is is 0 for o walked and a hit by a pitch team leading 13th scored a run last inning looking for his first hit of the day Conor’s got some big plans after high school swing and a miss on that first pitch joining the Air National Guard and then also attending University of Cincinnati majoring in Supply Chain management you see a great University no a few fellas down there and ladies that one’s high and outside one and one his favorite memories being with the guys after every win and uh just a plethora of activities for him playing football as member of FCA Gateway youth group Young Life habitudes Hancock youth leadership National Honor Society lb building improvements team that curveball in for a strike works at jumbo sports collectibles on Main Street also enjoys hanging out with friends and going to church with his family is this one ball two strike pitch coming in from Malcolm lifted high but to the shortstop Parker he Fields it Fly ball hauled in by the shortstop Parker for the first out of the inning now batting for the Eagles left fielder number 11 Seth alert Seth comes to the plate here one for two on the day had a single and score to run in the third big inning for the Eagles as they struck for four that inning curveball check swing high ball one for those just tuning in Eagles leading seven to nothing bottom of the fourth one out versus LCC Thunderbirds standard defensive alignment now the wind has died to just a trickle out there that one inside elker Dives out of the way 20 Seth on the season batting 322 leads the team with triples with three stolen bases 19 that one outside he swings and fouls it off to the back stop two and one coach schneiders runs out to field that one throws on to Snyder great attendance today seats pretty full standing standing room only for the Eagles Chopper to the third Baseline Quatman charging hard throwing to Speedy elur got him nice play Quatman to Bald balof for the second out of the inning now batting center fielder number 13 Landon stanburry so nice play there by quman getting the Speedy eler charging all the way on that sharper for the second out of the inning threw on hard to Bald off and stretched and got him by half a step first pitch taking is stanbury all the way 67 mph fast ball right down the middle strike one stanbury on the day one for one a single in a walk he scored both times he’s come to the plate that one’s lifted High to the left side left fielder charging in and he’s got it Fly ball hauled in by falky for the third and final out of the inning no runs on no hits for the Eagles we head to the top of the fifth they lead seven nothing a quiet inning there for the Eagles doing exact opposite of what I was hoping they would do and I’m sure coach Raider as we looked to get to that magical 10 number I suppose we could have ourselves a walk-off in the bottom of the fifth if Han who comes back on the pitch can continue to shut down the Thunderbirds so no runs no hits there for the Eagles got seven runs on six hits just me in the booth today Mr odonnell is traveling Mr Burns is unavailable Mr mooser is watching a softball game so no colormen today not sure where my guy Blake schlocker is either probably playing youth baseball if I had to guess because he was not here either we closed the book on Parker he went two innings although he went into the third just did not record an out gave up seven runs four hits four walks and a strikeout Malcolm completed his second full inning of work there and has given up no runs he did give up a hit now batting right fielder number two schneiders try to get some stats here on Malcolm work on getting him put together here think he’s giving up one hit he did walk one that first pitch lifted High down to Third Base Line and out of play heads up youth 01 pitch to sneers just misses outside ball one one and one sneers in the second struck out to lead off that inning he’s the five hole hitter suspect that his dad is probably the coach that one swung to lift it to left field Takes Two Steps in now to his right and he’s got it Fly ball H in by the left field Felder Seth eler for the first out of the inning now batting first baseman number 23 Andrew balof so Andrew bald came in into third to play first came in the third inning to play first base as LCC made a boatload of defensive adjustments so we don’t have any stats on him he’s first pitch swinging lifts one high to left field Elkart makes a grab was that base hit nope Fly ball hauled in by the left fielder Seth eler for the second out of the inning now batting designated hitter number 22 nean so man three pitches two outs both both to left fielder they have time to keep up with these guys as Bal off of a sophomore but we look at LC’s roster and extremely young as Jake Neeman the second baseman’s a senior Carson Parker who I don’t think is playing that first pitch is highing inside also a senior and then Billy Burke the catcher is a senior that one misses must have been low two and0 one Junior Matthew Quatman Matthew playing shortstop moved over to Third Base the rest sophomores and freshman so LCC expect them to be a Powerhouse in the future swing and a miss there by Neeman in the third excuse me in the second inning he struck out that was a third out of that inning that one catches the outside corner for a strike at 79 miles hour Han catching keeping the speed up there two balls two strikes two down top of the fifth Eagles lead seven to nothing swing and a miss nean down on strikes for the third and final out of the inning no runs on no hits we head to the bottom of the fifth Eagles lead 7 nothing another nice inning there by Han efficient effective no runs no hits no Runners on three up three down catches a strikeout in there as well season leading sixth strikeout or excuse me 56th strikeout six of the game 56 on the season for Jarrett Han senior dominant on the mound Eagles in the fifth they’re going to send to the plate 89 in the leadoff Han mod Crawford trying to keep our eyes peeled if we get any substitutions for the Eagles so I lost my roster sheet there for a moment again we thank those that have tuned in and stayed with us here a great day for baseball Eagles lead 7even to nothing versus LCC heading to the bottom of the fifth again and opportunity for them to walk out of here with the Run roll get three and and let’s get out of here for the day we got a pinch hitter looks like Conor bush is in the Onex Circle leading off the bottom of the fifth for the Eagles the pitcher number five Jarrett [Music] Han so it looks like we got Connor bush in the on deex Circle for the Eagles the senior we’ll see if there’ll be any other adjustments here first pitch swinging is Han lifts it softly to the third base side third baseman quman running out and can’t quite come up with a great effort as he lost his hat and runs all the way into the third base Bullpen Han today is H one for what did he do walk one for one with a single scored a run I think that he walked no he had a base hit to right field two for two takes that one low one outside two for two today is Han two base hits I remember back in the third because Stanbery missed the sign to get the third but he still end up scoring that one’s lifted hard to center field center field are charging H hard he’s got it Fly ball to center field hauled in by quman for the first out of the inning pinch hitting for Mason ma number 20 Connor Bush so Bush comes to the plate he’s batting 600 on the season just five official at bat nine played Appearances first pitch in ball one batting 600 on base percentage 778 he’s got three hits two RBI two runs scored he’s walked three times just struck out once been hit by a pitch he’s got the plethora he’s got them all he’s a stat stuffer one ball one strike as that one swing and a miss there by Bush coach Rider trying to spark something here in the fifth as the Eagles have gone a little bit dormant after that 4-1 third that one in dirt bounces off Burk and away from him he’s going to hustle out and grab it two balls one strike here to Bush we expect him to continue to be aggressive here at the plate Conor the senior talked about him at the opener going Ohio Northern swing and foul tips it back to the catcher strike two first Bas in pitcher favorite mem the baseball trips with the team great memories made by the young man and one misses outside three and two of course we talked about it in the opener Eagles haven’t won a sectional since Conor’s brother was a sophomore I think seems forever ago 2019 swung fouled straight back that’s a definite glass break just misses the Press Box I think the scoreboard Mafia is laughing at me about forever ago 2019 they were 10 three balls two strikes one down Conor bus at the plate big curve that misses bus draws the walk would expect a re-enter here re-entering for Connor bush is Mason ma now batting for the Eagles the leadoff hitter center fielder correction right fielder number 19 Ashton Crawford so Bush does his job gets on base he continues to stuff the stats another walk mod goes into pinch run for him the Speedy mod over at first now first pitch ripped back at center field quman Frozen and hit right at him Line Drive hauled in by the center fielder quman for the second out of the inning now batting Short Stop number three Connor his so hit hard but right at him was Crawford as he ripped that one back to center field two down now as his comes to the plate hiss in the game is one for three with a single ball one misses outside his came in leading the team with a 419 batting average but a lot of folks chasing him going to need a hit here as he fouls that one off the catcher must look like it hit the Umpire not 100% sure if it did SNY not showing any effects one ball one strike two down mod stands at first Eagles lead seven nothing bottom of the fifth host Li of Central Catholic Thunderbirds there goes ma here’s the throw Mod’s out what a throw by Burke ma cut down trying to steal Burke to Parker for the third out of the inning no runs on no hits for the Eagles we head to the top of the six they lead seven nothing Eagles offense has gone stagnant here as the Lefty is really styed them as he came on was did the first baseman Malcolm only thrown in the mid-60s but a lot of breaking stuff and the Eagles just unable to time him up they’ve hit the ball hard at different times like I said Seth eler ripped one to the third baseman who made a great play on that Chopper Crawford smoked one out to the center fielder but right at him so just unable to break through but hitting the ball hard not striking out as we head to the top of the sixth so Malcolm’s come on and done his job and LCC doing a lot of uh visiting over there not sure what the holdup is here is Eagles defense is ready to roll the coaches are not let’s get this show on the road boys come on Snider ring them up get them out there look out Coach B off or the pitcher Malcolm going to take a practice swing and almost took out the coach luckily he saw him leading off the top of the six for the Thunderbirds first baseman number 11 Malcolm ah he’s the pitcher son of a gun correction batting number 11 the pitcher Malcolm first pitch in for a strike from Han Malcolm In the game over one grounded out to the shortstop hiss that pitch misses low one and one from Han 67 on that change up standard defensive alignment for the Eagles stanbury and elker in close in the Outfield it seems Crawford maybe even a couple steps in as the wind has calmed a bit now blowing from right to left as the Lefty Malcolm stands at the plate that one catches the outside corner for a strike two and two here to Malcolm again we thank everybody for tuning in it’s the top of the six the Eagles lead seven to nothing they struck for one in the first two in a second four and a third but have now gone scoreless the last three Innings thanks to this guy batting and that’s Malcolm the relief pitcher as he fouls that one to the coach foul down the third Baseline Malcolm came on to relieve Malcolm is just a sophomore came on to relieve the starter Parker in the third with no outs gave up a coup couple runs that aren’t charged to him and shut the Eagles down as he fouls that one back off his leg burkam retrieves it by the B of lb seems like we’ve lost some energy here for the eagles need the fans get on their feet maybe somebody needs to start the wave something’s got to happen that was a strike Malcolm down on strikes for the first out of the inning now now batting left fielder number nine falky so nice job there by Han freezing Malcolm who couldn’t pull the trigger goes down on strikes looking there’s a curve ball oh just misses inside one ball no strikes falky to the plate now hit a liner to first it was a great stabbing grab by Lee over there that was the second out of the third inning ranged just to his left slid and caught it right on the foul line fair line excuse me two balls no strikes that one’s lifted High to Center stanbury ranging back ranging back camps under it he’s got it Fly ball hauled in by the center fielder Stanberry for the second out of the inning now batting the center fielder number six Quatman so FY put a charge into that one stanbury range back back made a nice easy grab for the second out of the inning quman to the plate now Crawford taking his good old time getting his spot in right field watman 0 for two curveball misses high and outside one ball no strikes that one misses low two and0 again quman for two flew out to second base and struck out into the first these pitches must be missing low three and0 now as Zack elard at third even with the bag that one misses four ball walk four pitch walk Gman draws the walk two down in the inning now batting second baseman number three Neiman so all walks are four balls but not all walks are just four pitches as Quatman draws the four pitch walk nean to the plate he’s the two-hole hitter 0 and two 0 for two on the day first pitch up the middle his Fields it behind the bag throws on to first got him ground ball hauled in by his throws on to Lee for the third out of the inning no runs on no hits for the Thunderbirds we head to the bottom of the six the Eagles lead 7 nothing another nice play by his makes it look easy behind behind the second base bag there as again Han waved at that one but his Made Easy work of Neiman fielded behind second threw easily on to Lee at first for the third out of the inning so no runs no hits the first walk of the game though for Han he’s not going to be happy about that but he did catch did register a strike out so far just given up one hit in six complete Innings no runs of course strained that one Runner actually he’s now stranded two walked one struck out seven his strike out the walk ratio is more like two to one 50 strikeouts 23 walks so having a great day from that aspect as the Eagles lead seven to nothing we head to the bottom of the sixth likely the last at bat for the Eagles today unless things go Ary potentially the last inning of the day as looks like Seth elker heads to the bullpen he leads the team in closes correction saves with two and technically erra with zero earn runs in 21 in the third Innings I don’t know why I say technically but uh tough for stansbery who’s pitched twice as many endings 44 and a third and his ER is 630 poultry 630 leading off the bottom of the six for the Eagles the short stop number three Connor his oh we got a new pitcher oh we got a bunch of defensive adjustments gosh dang it all right quman on the pitch guys’s got a number on this catcher looks like Burke went to third this guy looks like number 10 doesn’t it his at the plate Quatman throws that one in the dirt Lewis knots is that number 10 it’s hard to say huh looks like 10 his takes that one outside two and0 slow roller to the third baseman Burke who was playing catcher Fields throws hard over the first got him ground ball to the third baseman the new third baseman Billy Burke throws on to B B off for the first out of the inning into pitch for the Thunderbirds moving from Third Base number four Quatman now batting for the Eagles first baseman number 15 Trevon Lee that one’s lifted High into left Center left fielder going back he’s got it f ball to left field haul in by falky for the second out of the inning again not sure 100% sure who the catcher is appears to me to be number 10 and uh looks like we might have a pinch hitter for the Eagles looks like Lewis not on the catch I’m going to go with that also into the game for LCC on the catch number 10 Lewis knots pinch hitting for the Eagles number eight Jake alert so Jake coming in to hit for his brother Zack all kinds of action try to keep up with here in the oneman show but we appreciate those tuning in Eagles leading seven nothing bottom of the sixth LCC Thunderbirds that one low and somehow doesn’t hit elur in a feat two and0 somebody’s got to get that baseball umpire SNY will elert the senior of the elert Triumph batting 265 this season spent most of his time in a DH has struck out nine times walk seven the two swung on lifted to left field that one could drop nice play by falky Fly ball hauled in by the left fielder falky in the gap for the third and final out of the inning no runs on no hits for the Eagles we head to the top of the seventh they lead 7 nothing so nice hit there by elert but even better play by the left fielder falky who ranged way to his left into the gap to get the third and final out of the inning is looks like Seth elrt going to come on to try to close this one out for the Eagles see if we can figure out where everybody ended up for the Eagles as we’ve had all kinds of defensive action here today Han see where he ends up looks like he’s going to right field and maybe Crawford and left see if we can get a number always hard to read these numbers on the black jerseys for the Eagles El Kurt’s first pitch 80 M hour heater I’m going to go with Crawford and left defensive adjustments for the Eagles coming in from Left Field to pitch number 11 Seth elert moving from the mound to right field number five Jarrett Han and moving to left field from right field number 19 Ashton Crawford so Crawford’s in left Han moved to right from the mound had a great day eler coming on looking to get his third save of the season I don’t know if technically it’s a save I don’t think it qualifies with eagles up seven nothing but if I were keeping stats I would give it to him generously as quman came in to pitch that final inning of zeros there close the book on Malcolm who pitched three Innings no runs one hit two walks no strikeouts again we thank everybody for tuning in it’s a top of the seventh Eagles lead seven to nothing looking to close this one out as Seth elker comes on to relief Jarett Han who’s pitched a masterful game see if we can get you closing stats for Han they got six inning pitch no runs one hit strained two walked one struck out seven leading off the top of the seventh for the Thunderbirds the pitcher number four watman first pitch from elert catches the outside side corner 81 milph that’s a strike quman in the game one for two had a single in the first wased struck out into fourth he’s been all over the place today started the game at Short moved to third pitched the last inning that one in the dirt burkam protects umpire Snider and takes that one off the elbow one ball one strike that one’s lifted foul and out of Play Over the first base Dugout elert ahead here one ball two strikes like I said elert in the season he’s pitched 21 in the third Innings he has two saves this says he’s also has five wins in 10 games pitched he only started one so most of his efforts have been relief nine relief efforts five wins and two saves in those nine that one misses high and outside two and two again has given up zero earned runs that one’s lifted fou again over the first base Dugout he struck out 27 in those 21 in a third inning so more than a one strikeout per inning ratio and walked seven so close to a 3 to1 strikeout to walk ratio has hit six guys that one into dirt nice save by burkam as Quatman takes now Full Count three balls two strikes to Quatman Eagles lead seven to nothing top of the seventh as we get a little bit of cloud cover swing foul tip hauled in by burkam Quatman down on strikes for the first out of the inning now batting third baseman number 14 Burke nice work by burkam hauling in that foul tip for strike one or sorry strikeout number one for elert Burke to the plate oh for two in the game that one misses outside ball one he has flew out to left and flew out to third so the Lefty goes the other way as he takes that one on the inside corner at 79 mph for strike one ball one strike you new folks tuning in one down here in the top of the seventh the Eagles leading seven to nothing over the LCC Thunderbirds swing in a Miss as elker hits 81 miles an hour on the Bell stores radar gun standard defensive alignment for the Eagles swing and a miss Burke down on strikes for the for the second out of the inning now batting right fielder number two schneiders so elker two-faced two strikeouts here as he’s in relief of Han and LCC down to their final out once ripped down the third baseline And Over The Dugout into foul territory sneers on the day struck out and flew out to left Ashton Crawford over and left in pretty shallow and way off the line which isn’t surprising for left with the Lefty at the plate curveball Chopper back to eler he feels it cleanly he’s going to toss the Lee got him ground ball elker to lead for the third and final out of the ball game Eagles Victorious seven to nothing we think the LCC Thunderbirds for making the trip and their fans over here to
