Lawrence Co 1

**Batpuff** · 04-22-2008, 09:23 PM

Jordan Miller hits a solo shot in the top of the 6th to give Lawrence Co. the win. Chandler Shepard goes the distance with around 10 k's.

Jeff Cyrus made a diving grab behind the 2nd base to keep the runner from scoring from 2nd and then the next batter made a great play in short right to record the final out of the 5th to stop JC's scoring threat.

Way to go Chandler!

Not sure his name but he was number 16. I think it was there ace though.

Mike Conley- gave up five hits and had probably six or eight K's

Wow. Much closer game than I expected. Congrats Lawrence County!

Gator · 04-22-2008, 11:19 PM

Great effort from JC tonight, they outhit LC 6-5 and made no errors to LC's 2. Lawrence won this game on the score board but were very fortunate to walk away from their home field with a W. JC left runners in scoring position several times. Good performance by Conley-JC and Shepard-LC!

Back to back gems by Conley against Paintsville and now Lawrence Co. I told everyone preseason that Conley was going to be one of the regions best. Top 3 maybe?

3sporteagle · 04-23-2008, 12:16 AM

i think you're right, ranks with Blanton, Blanton, and Fyffe from the last few years with JC. Hall has gone to him several times in the past for big games. I think you will hear more from him in the year and next year as he is a junior.

Triple Crown · 04-23-2008, 12:21 AM

Conley pitched one heck of a game tonight and got great defense behind him. The first hit of the game by Jeff Cyrus was a shot up the middle and 8th grader Will Meek blocked it up and threw him out. Later on Jeremy Stacy caught Tim Hayes' possible home run to end the inning. By far the worst outing for the Dawgs this year. It was a good game to watch though.

congrats LC...especially with "The Bowtie Bandit" Pete Runyon behind the plate.
haha.

Well LC left runners in scoring position all night as well. Even left the bases loaded once.

**OffTheHook** · 04-23-2008, 02:19 AM

WOW! Is all I have to say. Not going to be as easy as LC thinks it will this season. can't wait to see what happens when LC faces Grimm. Should be interesting. Congrats to both teams on what sounds like and exciting game.

Perhaps , it's because JC just had a little something to do with that? Big Grin

Hey Kimball, youve posted 5 smart *** comments in a row, go ahead and make it 6 buddy. Like I said before, THIS WAS THE WORST OUTING FOR THE DAWGS. This was also the best outing for JC and they still beat them. Get a life big guy. And i wasnt even giving excuses either I gave credit where credit was due to JC by saying that Conley pitched a good game and had great defense behind them.

Maybe it was the worst outing and maybe it wasn't . The quality of your opponent can make it appear that way to those who wear scarlet colored glasses.. Things are working out just like I said they would in the preseason. The fact is, JC is getting better and better and better as the season rolls on. JC has had to rely on actual games as their practice sessions all season long. I said they would be starting out in a hole from the begining of the season and would have to rely on the toughness of their schedule to make them district tournament ready, and that's exactly what's happening. It will not be the cakewalk through this district that some of you LC faithful thinks that it will be when the time comes around that it actually means something..

the dark wizard · 04-23-2008, 10:17 AM

Congrats Lawrence Co.

Blackknight · 04-23-2008, 12:11 PM

Congrats to both teams. It was the best game I've seen this season. Looking forward to the play-offs.

You are right! JC is getting better as the season takes shape. LC is loaded with 5 Senior's who have signed college scholarships and JC doesn't have but 1 on the roster. Hall has them progressing to be a threat at tourney time.A solid performance for a team of underclassman.

**FOX SPORTS** · 04-23-2008, 03:50 PM

The personal comments need to stop.

kdrn · 04-23-2008, 04:02 PM

Conley pitched a great game but sorry he is not top 3. LC has 3 better than him. JC defense stepped up and Hall has done a good job. Pete had a high strike zone all nite, he is a pitchers ump. Jordan Miller's clutch homerun in the 6th or they may still be playing.

Nope!!!

Pitcher's ump??? Gee, Pete Runyon may in fact be considered the pitcher's worst friend when it comes to making calls behind the plate. His strike zone is usually shrunk down to the size of a matchbox. He is a great friend to batters though.
