Three more opportunities for the team to play in the regular season.
Southern Wesleyan pulled away down the stretch for a 15 – 10 victory, but the Lady Wasps were in it to win it. The score was 9-8 after the end of the 3rd.
Marion Harris reports that his middle daughter, Jan Brady , received a yellow card in the first half. The amazing thing about it is that the fiery competitor had never picked one up at any level of any sport.
File that one under astonishing and know that when she was asked about the two minutes of solitaire, she said…
” Marsha, Marsha, Marsha……”
Very proud 👏 of this young lady and look forward to the next chapter of her life !
Leaving Bill Worrell Field in the direction of Food Lion 🦁 to get a gallon of milk and I glanced over to the practice area behind Cavalier Park. Standing there conducting one of his non-stop practices was our Corey Williams. One u-turn later and a soccer ⚽️ conversation broke out.
Evan ( assistant coach and wise beyond his years,) and Corey setting up for the end of practice scrimmage.
Getting a chance to meet Nolon Burnett was an added bonus as Williams tells me that Nolon is currently coaching four youth teams !
This group consists of 3rd and 4th graders that are learning the game at the ideal time for our future Cavaliers !
We have one inning in the books 📚 and the score still remains 0-0
Peyton Spencer on the mound for the Burcham Bunch.
Samantha Reed is on the microphone 🎤 and Bill Worrell Field is full of energetic fans wanting to root, root, root for the home team !
The Highlanders are the opponent tonight, and we are here until the end.
Glenvar goes down 1-2-3 in the top of the second after a nifty 6-3 ground out was followed by a KO and a F7.
Off to the bottom of the 2nd…
Carroll County loaded the bases in the bottom of the second inning, but Glenvar kept the game scoreless with back to back fielder choice ground outs.
Top of the 3rd : Spencer sets them down 1,2,3 again with the bonus being I was able to chase down a foul ball !
Bottom of the 3rd : Highlights include Camden DeHaven sending a frozen rope to deep left field, but the defense was positioned perfectly.
After Blake Reed coaxed a two out walk, Caleb Shaw sent a grounder down the third base line. The call was out in a bang bang play to end the frame
Mr Spencer is flat dealing, and we had another 1,2,3 inning with two more K’s wrapped around a ground ball back to the mound.
Off to the bottom of the 4th (5:38 pm)
Conner Reece was robbed of his second base hit on the day when the Glenvar 3B made a spinning play on his Hart hit grounder.
Off to the top of the 5th inning…
Colby Goad and Chanson Rakes combined for a Sportscenter type play when Goad fielded a hard hit single out in centerfield and fired a laser towards home. Rakes climbed the ladder 🪜 ever so slightly to apply the tag ! Still scoreless, heading to the bottom of the 5th…
#Greatplay
Cavs dent the scoreboard in the bottom of the fifth inning with DeHaven scoring from second base after the Glenvar left fielder bobbled a hard hit single off the bat of Rakes. Five innings in the books 📚 and our Cavaliers lead 1-0.
Spencer is back on the mound for the top of the 6th.
Three groundball outs as the defense continues to shine behind Spencer.
Connor Reece, with a one out single, Eli Worrell now running 🏃♂️ the bases. Pic 📸 of the press box 📦 at Mr Spencer at the plate.
DeHaven just connected on a bases loaded double to the fence in left center, and the score is now 3-0. Two runs still in scoring position with Rakes at the plate.
Carroll County is now three outs away from a Three Rivers District victory !
Spencer back out on the mound in hopes of finishing up what he started.
Camden’s pick on his night 🌙!The Highlanders faithful
Two outs and at 6:25, a third one recorded !
Cavaliers 3, Glenvar 0 (F)
7 strikeouts after the top of the 1st inning for Spencer. I need to check on the top of the first because the game started up a few minutes early. [9 K’s] ➕️ 0 BB
The Cavaliers’ defense played flawlessly behind the right hander and the highlight real play made by Goad and Rakes to cut ✂️ down the Glenvar run at the plate.
