Weir one game away from repeat!!!


Recommended Posts

It was a crazy game. These guys have had some great comebacks the past two years. This might have been one of the best, though. Down 4-3 in the top of the 7th, pinch hitter Eric Hayden hit a single. Brandon Sperlazza then got a double and advanced pinch runner Steven Buffo to third. Jason Gatto was asked if he wanted to try to bunt and try to score the runner on a squeeze play or hit away. He's a competitor and chose to hit away and hit a single up the middle scoring both runners. Weir goes back to the state championship to defend their AA title!!! Congrats fellas and bring back ANOTHER state title back to the 'Ton!!!

Shadyfan, you show a lot of class. I know I couldn't come on after Weir suffered a tough loss(i.e. Bluefield in football or Logan in bball) and say they were the better team. I really respect you and the game could have gone either way. Shady had a very good team and a great season. Hopefully we can win tomorrow so Shady can say the only team they lost to two years in a row was the state champions. You have a good program down there and I'm hoping to see the Tigers back in Charleston next year!!!

I didn't buy into the hype, but Lou Green is as good as advertised. He can sure bring the heat. Congrats to Logan and I'm not taking anything away from them, bu the score didn't reflect the game. Weir left Quatrocchi in for too long and Logan got to him on one big inning. The other 6 inning Logan only scored two runs. Weir also had some costly erros. Oh, well congrats to Weir and Logan both on great seasons!!!

Oh no, sounds like another coaching fubar to me....apparently Weir never gets beat just outcoached at times. Does this sound like a broken record to anyone else?
