2009 State American Legion Tournament in Athens

[BULDOG]

Funny how things work out.

Brockmeirer facing Hopper who are both headed to Marietta and also will be rooming together this fall.

Pretty much came out even between the 2 as Hopper K'd on an 8 or 9 pitch 1st AB, then doubled to RCF the second time at the plate. Brockmeirer had a solid day at the plate and pitched well.

Can't wait to watch these 2 at Marietta next four years.

Brockmeirer didnt impress me as much as i thaught he would. he is a great player, and i am sure he works hard, and i know he had a great year in high school, but he didnt come across to me as the player he has been advertised. i guess you cant be awesme on a daily basis, it was just 1 game. best of luck at the next level, hard work does pay off

Brockmeirer didnt impress me as much as i thaught he would.

Evan did not have his usual pinpoint accuracy. He pitched a great game though and is very crafty. He is not a strike out pitcher and gives up some basehits, but not many runs. He is one of my all time favorite players to have had the opportunity to coach. I am going to miss watching him.

Congrats to B/L for winning the district. I didn't believe they could, but thanks to Brockmeirer's arm, they did.

I think he even played all the positions in the field too, and scored all the runs. It's a team game gtown whether you want to admit it or not.

just got some news on post 23....they are playing golf today....in the dorm hallways LOL

[g w mclintock]

I think rainouts are harder on the dads than the kids. Sometimes this time of year, the kids enjoy a day off...

I will have to agree with u 100%, Cause i had to come to work today instead of going to the game. This might give me a chance to go tomorrow if they even get to play then Just looked at the radar an there is alittle bit of a break between the rains. I will keep my fingers crossed for the rains to completly quit. It has rained here on the river all day

how many more games does post 23 need to win to win the title

how many more games does post 23 need to win to win the title

Six more, including two vs the undefeated team...
Not impossible, Beverly/Lowell lost first game to Pickerington in 2006 and came all the way back and won the tourney.
Good luck to Portsmouth Post 23.

TRUE PORTSMOUTH STILL HAS 3 ARMS THAT HASNT SEEN ANY ACTION, YET, THAT HAS SEEN ACTION IN THE DISTRICT TOURNAMENT AN THEY HAVE THE ONES THAT HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN THE STATE TOURNAMENT SO FAR SO THE RAIN COULD HAVE BEEN A BLESSING ONLY TIME WILL TELL. HOPE TO SEE EVERYONE AT THE GAME TOMORROW !!!!
