If your girls hit three homers last night, I'd say they were on the good side of that strong wind that was a-blowin'. Our Bath girls were in Elida, so I was unable to witness the Continental Crushers. I see they are winning more games, so all that youth seems to be growing up.

as for my ruling, I will curtail any future smartass responses as to avoid the wrath of the Continental parents......... Which is also a mighty wind.

Bradley, Burke and Williamson each had one. So yes, they had three more homers, and they were beautiful!

Lady Pirates have had couple good games, several names in the stats in the papers few weeks in a row, have played well and worked as a team....now NO ONE wants to talk?! Why is it the only time anyone comments is when there's something negative to say?!!!! Talk about a support system for our local kids!!!! Some people should be ashamed! thumbdown.gif

Ill say this: These posts have indicated that you guys are a young team. Your improvement over the year is a good sign for things to come. High batting averages don't usually come with young players.

Last I knew they were starting 9th inning scoreless.
And I agree a hitter is a hitter!

Pirates lose to Kalida 3-0 in 9 innings! Sounds like it was hell of a game. One or two hitter and 0-0 til the 9th!

You mean no more PIRATE SOFTBALL threads, complaining about players, fans, parents??? Good.
You mean no more outbursts by players, on the field, during the game, at the umpires?? Good.

best way to pad stats is to play a schedule like the bath boys have done. 2 and 7 in league competition and an amazing 13 and 5 out of conference. i would like to know total hits per game in league play and hits per game for out of conference games. that will tell you alot not to mention falling in first game of tourney.

That may be true, but the opposite can be said for the girls schedule. Their non-conference is so tough it makes the WBL pretty easy. That's why when you see 5 of their girls hitting over .400, it's a hard earned accurate average. The only patsy in there was Ottoville.

that goes without saying. both basketball and softball the girls play an awesome schedule, always have. The boys on the other hand have dumbed down the schedule so much just to make it seem they are getting better. boys post a winning record and people say the coaches are doing so well. yet the results are the same come tourney time. a false sense of accomplishment. scheduling up brings more success than playing ultra weak teams just to garner a few extra wins. when will bath get it?

Well, where do I start? First, there is too much of an emphesis on boys basketball at Bath. In the lower levels (5,6, & 7th grade) the same dads that coach baseball coach basketball. The last few years, the Cairo guys have cut short baseball travel games to play basketball. I'm not saying one sport is more important than another, but you make a choice. We choose basketball even though we chronically suck at the varsity level. Those boys in 5th, 6th, and 7th grade need to see as many swings as possible befor ethey get to jr. high. Secondly, we need to drop jr. high baseball and get a club team for the better players in 7th and 8th grade. As for the schedule, at least we can't blame the new coach for the weak schedule. It was in place before he got there.

(By the way Continental fans, sorry for talking Bath topic on your thread. You guys gat so many of them I figured you wouldn't mind)

its been that way for at least 15 years. you count all those kids now and you will be lucky to get 10% of them to committ themselves for 4 years in high school. it doesnt matter what sport it is football, basketball, baseball. if we are putting emphasis on basketball, bath boys sports are in real real trouble. davis will be gone once his kid graduates, thankfully. I just hope these coaches teach better than they coach. coaching boys sports at a loser school like bath is nothing more than an ego trip for the great majority of them. it isnt for the money im sure, it takes you away from family (unless daddy is coach) and they must know deep in their heart they cant win consistantly. a .500 record at bath is like .250 in reality with the dumbed down schedules. (excluding football). Bath has 2 coaches that have the right formula but why dont the rest of them use it? PATHETIC.

Who do the Pirates have to play in the PCL, yet? I think they beat all of the toughest teams already.
