He can throw hard but has very little control. His step off the mound was pointed in the right direction but then his body would sort of fall to my right his left and I think that was what was causing him to throw wildly. Velva had plenty of opportunitied to get runs in and it was just a matter of time before they unleashed like they did. I was assuming that the pressure of the day maybe got to him and he had a bad outing but according to the folks from Harvey and Velva he has had some control issues all along. All in all, it was a fun game to watch.

Well im guessin you didnt hear that his elbow is worn out and that he is getting surgery this summer. He threw 195 pitches at their regional and took them to state. He is for sure the Gatorade Player of the year.

but not senior of the year or all tournament team????  he cant throw strikes, good teams with good patience will beat him everytime

And to Brooks Backes for being named MVP,  he pitched 13 innings, giving up 5 hits and 1 run and striking out 19 batters, pretty impressive, especially being that Bakkum , Kliniskie, and Lorenz were considered the heavyweight pitchers coming in.

when did they change the rule from 12 innings???

munichs errors didnt really hurt them in a sense because i think none of the errors brought in runs...the errors got runners on base and then minot ryan simply had hits that scored the runs...but the errors make it tuff to win games also i understand

ya munich had 8 errors (most on the season). It was probably partially because of the young(3 freshman, 3 sophmores, 3 juniors, 1 senior) nerves. I remember playing at state when i was only a freshman and it was very nerve-raking.  but im not making excuses for them at all. i feel it could have been a much better game though, without the errors and the momentum bishop ryan aquired from the start. but thats just the way the ball falls.

i tip my hat to bishop ryan and backes. He threw a great game and they also ripped the ball very well and were very agressive on the bases. a few of the errors came on their screaming line drives.

i also wanna congratulate munich on being "bracket busters". Their young pitchers came through and did a great job when nobody believed in them especially. and i would look for them in the upcoming year(s) to make another state run.

 

but to reply to tadams comment,  didnt you go against your first line in your second line? you said the errors didnt hurt them at all but then you went along to say the guys that got on base on errors got hit in by base hits. idk maybe i just see it differently but i think that errors play a HUGE role in any game. They can be demoralizing to your team and take their fire away, give the other team runs because its hard to get even 3 outs in an inning, and give your opponent momemtum and a vision of hope.    By you saying that those errors didnt matter, but the runner got scored by a hit you were basically saying............the guys that were on base from the errors didnt count as runs when they got hit in by a base hit, which the batter may not have even recieved because of the error(out) before him........Munich had to get more than 3 outs an inning........and all the momentum shifts to the team who causes the error.

FSHP has won multiple state titles.  They have won at least 2.

You're thinking of their Legion championship teams, cubsfan.  They've won the state Legion tournament three times, but they've never taken first at the state high school tournament.
