1-1 With A Weird Finish!!

We opened up our Varsity play yesterday with a 11-1 win over Pierce City and 13-12 loss to Seneca. Against Pierce City, Riley Veith threw a no-hitter, walked 1, had 12 K's and 0 earned runs in 6 innings. Riley Veith and Landon Terry had 2 hits and 2 RBI's. Cody Hall had 2 RBI's also. In the night cap, we played Seneca to a 10-10 tie after 5 innings and the time limit was up. In this tournament, if there is a tie, you stop play and go to tie breakers. Tie breakers are runners that reach 3rd, then if still tied, runners that reach 2nd, then if still tied runners that reach 1st. Coach Yust and I both talked them into playing one more inning. After the 6th inning it was still tied. We campaigned for another innning. We got it. Before the 7th inning started, we were informed that both Seneca and us had the same amount of base runners reach 3rd during the first 6 innings. So as soon as the runner reached 3rd in the bottom of the 7th, even if we get 3 outs we would lose. They were not going to let us play any more extra innings. So with 2 outs and a runner on 3rd, we had to pick him off. I would rather lose with the ball in our hands than by some tie breaker rule. Kevin Miller had 3 hits and Reese Stevenson had 3 RBI's. We play Aurora at 4:45pm today for 3rd place at Cassville. See you all there.
