Blaming the umps?eriously::lame:

Congrats to Brossart on the win, good luck against St. X, they will need it. Not super impressed other than with Fardo and Hahn, I thought the talent matched up evenly on both sides of the field. I don't mean that as a slight to Brossart at all, I simply mean that Brossart was not a far superior team, just the better team this night. If they play 10 games, I suspect it would be 50/50 split.

Now, for the call at 2nd, I don't blame umps for wins/losses, BUT it did break momentum. Pikeville had at least one other opportunity to push runs across with a bases loaded scenario and didn't. Having said that, it is RARE that a runner is called out for interference on a slide into 2nd base. I'd have to see a replay before I would believe it was really interference. Nevertheless, the ump called it (right or wrong), and it is what it is. Pikeville played a heck of a game, and with 2 of 3 years appearing in state, have proven they are a program with tradition to be reckoned with (along with their other regional wins), and have nothing to be ashamed of at all. Last night, they just wasted good opportunities that you can't waste at that level of play and expect to win consistently.

Hats off to Randy Maynard, I think many expected Hamilton to get the start. But Randy goes out a winner in my book, excelling in school, athletics AND life. He will be a winner at whatever he does.
