im with you man. i watched him pitch against munich and he has some great stuff. he definately deserved tourney mvp.

he also stard 2 7 inning games in 4 days... thats impressive considering he pitched just as well if not better in the second start as the first.

ya i know what you mean man. but still look at the other topics and you tell me if that would make you a little upset.  and ya im with you on the FSHP. they gave steele a pretty good scare. and that was pretty sweet they came from a play-in game all the way to state.

ok FSHP had a good run but not a good season... they got beat by more than 10 runs several times... they didnt play a single good game until the regional tourney... but i gotta hand it to them... they played well when it counted... thats all you can say

I think Dusty Brend is underrated.  I don't think a lot of people know him across the state.  He batted .540 with a wood bat.  His defense is usually flawless but had a bad fielding episode at the region tournament.
