Philip Riley came out throwing hard, and keeping his pitches low.  Unfortunately, the umpire did not have a low zone.  He made the adjustment and Brentwood could only scatter 6 hits over 5 innings.  John Daush and Chris Brown worked the last two innings in relief and gave up a few hits, most of which were ground balls that gave the infield a chance to make the outs.  So you are expecting John Morgan to have lead off with a great hit, but that did not happen.  Actually the Brothers went three--up-three down in the first.  This irriatated the rest of the team.  Riley (1-4, RBI) started the five hit second off with a single.  Josh Speerly's (1-2, RBI) RBI single scored Riley's single after Brent Moss (1-2) sacrificed it to second.  Then Logan Forsythe's (1-3, RBI) single would drive in Speerly's single.  The last two hits of the inning were big.  Jimmy Washam's (1-2, RBI) triple followed by John Morgan's (2-3, RBI) double gave the Brothers a 4-0 lead and they would not let up.  With the score 9-1 in the fifth, Bryan Rainey drew a walk that was driven in by Zach Schumacher's triple.  Another walk by Morgan and with first and third, two outs, the Brothers were looking to end the game in 5.  But Andrew Nicherson (Brentwoods SS) had other plans.  With two out the infield could play back, and Nicherson made a terrific diving stop in the 6-hole to snag a shot by Jeremy Finney (1-4) and then popped up and just threw Finney out at first.  Giving his team some life, Brentwood would add thee in the sixth to force a seventh inning.

John Morgan's (1-3) lead off single gave the Brothers the start they expected.  With runners at first & third, one out, BGA turned the 6-4-3 to get out of the inning.  An aggressive mistake by BGA allowed Jimmy Washam to throw a runner out, who was trying to score from second on a base hit,  to end the inning scoreless on both sides.  Apparently having a feel for what BGA's starter had, the Brothers tacked on two their next at bat.  Then in the third, the back-to-back Philip Riley-Brent Moss doubles, followed immediately by the back-to-back Josh Speerly-Logan Forsythe singles threw another 3 up on the Brothers side.  Drew Clothier allowed couple walks in the 5th, to give BGA some base runners that would score off a pass ball and an error.  The Brother's offense would respond to add the insurance runs in the last two innings, with another 4 hits, including Riley's second double of the day.

So, what did John Morgan do?  He lead off with a strikeout.  That should have been a clue, that something out of the ordinary was about to happen.  Morgan's K did not hurt the Brothers.  Sending 8 others to the plate in the bottom of the first, the Purple Wave took a 3-0 lead into the extraordinary second.  Extraordinary because it took some 20 hours to complete.  With two on, one out, 2-2 on the batter ECS was threatening when the lightening and twenty-four hours of rain came through.  Play was suspended.  When it resumed Drew Clothier took his place back on the hill, and retired the next two batters to finally end the second.  Bottom of the second, Morgan was the lead off man, again.  This time he popped a single into left field, and from there the fate was set.  Morgan, Jeremy Finney and Josh Speerly were all 500 for the evening.  Speerly along with Logan Forsythe picked up two RBI's.  Philip Riley added an unassisted double play to his history as he snagged a line drive shot down the first base line, then stepped on the bag to double the runner up.  Tough Man, Brent Moss was not to be out done as he laid out from a dead sprint to make a diving catch for the third out, two pitches later.  Taking the winners bracket, the Brothers face off against ECS again tomorrow as the Eagles beat Briarcrest to come out of the loser's bracket for the Regional title.

Again, John Morgan (3-3, 4 RBI's) acts like the catalyst that sets the Brothers in motion.  This time Morgan lead off the game with a single to left field.  Jeremey Finney (1-2, dbl, RBI) followed with a sacrifice bunt, and then Daniel Vanaman (1-3, 3 RBI's) {who broke out of a little slump with a ground rule double shot to center field} batted Morgan to third.  A balk by the MUS pitcher scored Morgan and the Brothers took the lead early.  The timely four hits in the 6th gave the Brothes some extra breathing room.  Freshly graduated seniors Philip Riley (2-4, RBI), and Zach Schumacher (1-1) added their touch to keep the offense rolling.  Jimmy Washam (2-3, dbl, RBI) and Logan Forsythe (1-2, dbl) had back to back doubles to lead off the 6th and initiate that big inning for the Brothers.  With this win the Brothers have their sights on two more consecutive victories to win the Region.

Things looked good as John Morgan lead the game off with a first pitch single.  The Brothers should have known something was going to be different when Morgan was then caught stealing.  Then again, things looked pretty good as Morgan lead off the 3rd with a first pitch HR.  But unable to put a string of hits together until the Brothers could not gain any significant distance from the Eagles.  Adding 3 in the 6th with a couple walks and singles things looked up.  But SBA had their own idea as they hit two HR and picked up 4 in their half of the 6th.  The scoring was done, as the clouds darkened and the lightening storm began.  The Brothers were threatening to score in the top of the 10th with runners at 2nd & 3rd with one out. But the lightening threat was more imminent and the game was called.  Just like kissing their sister, the Brothers added that sickening one at the end of their record.

With this victory the Brothers secure first place in the District.  John Morgan's (4-4, triple, RBI) lead off single scored to put the Brothers up early.  Zach Schumacher had a good evening going 2-3 with 2 RBI's.  Josh Speerly's 1-3 doesn't break any records, but his lead off double scored in the 4th to widen the gap.  1-4, and 0-3 don't sound magnificent either, but these at bats for Philip Riley, and Brent Moss contained 3 RBI's that were very important in the game.  Philip Riley completed 5 innings on the hill, then moved to first base to pick up the last  6 put outs as Philip Irwin pitched the last two innings.

The Brothers fought hard last night against Houston and the city’s best pitcher.  Having very good approaches at the plate, often getting deep in the count, the Brothers still never got more than one base runner an inning.  Drew Clothier did a good job on the mound the keep the game close (2-0 through 6 innings).  Clothier had only 3 walks, one in the 4th, one in the 6th and an intentional walk in the 7th.  With one out and a runner on second, the Brothers gave an IW to set up a double play.  Unfortunately, the next batter slapped a triple down the right field chalk line and Houston added 3 in the top of the 7th.   Jeremy Finney was able to slap a shot right up the middle to put the Brother’s only hit on the board in the 4th.  With 26 of the 33 Mustang hitters putting the ball in play, the Brothers defense played a great game making most all the plays.

With two outs in the bottom of the 5th, Cordova put together two doubles and a single to take a 3-1 lead.  Jimmy Washam's (2-2, dbl,  RBI) walk, stolen base was balked in for the Brothers second run.  Wanting to make the 6th their last at bat, the Brothers offense responded.  Philip Riley (2-3, dbl) lead off with a double, Brent Moss (1-2, RBI) singled to score Riley.  Washam's double scored Moss to give the Brothers the lead going into the last inning.  With two men on, and one out, Chase Carpenter was called upon to get the last two outs, and earn a save.  A pop-up to the infield, and a line drive shot to Morgan in center gave the Brothers a much needed victory in the first game of a double header.

Collierville capitalized early on a struggling Brother's pitching.  Chris Brown took the hill and took control.  With the Dragons already having four hits and 9 runs in thirteen batters, Brown held them to four hits and one run for the next 18 batters.  Looking little uncomfortable when he entered in the second, Brown settled down to have a great 3rd & 4th sitting Dragons down, 3-up, 3-down, and allowing bases loaded in the 5th, but pitching out of it to give up no runs.  Already through with 5 of their 9 hits in the first two innings, the Brothers could not get Brown the offensive support needed to make a run for the win.  Even though the Brothers continued to hit the ball hard for the last 5 innings, the ball went straight at Dragon fielders who made the plays.  Offensive man would have to be Bryan Rainey going 2-2, with a double and an RBI.  Looking for some revenge, the Brothers face off tomorrow with a double header against Cordova and Collierville.

Philip Irwin took the ball and tried to pick up where Clothier left off yesterday.  Facing the minimum 9 batters in three innings, Irwin allowed the Brother's plenty of time in the dugout to do their damage.  Sending 14 batters to the plate in the first two innings, the Brothers hoped Irwin would continue his performance, when they went three-up, three-down in the third.  Two walks, and 4 singles put Marian Catholic on the board, and created a tie game.  Allowing only two hits in the fifth, and no runs, Irwin set the Brothers up to take the lead.  Two walks, and a single, loaded the bases for Jimmy Washam to drive in the go ahead run with a deep fly ball to center.  What the Brother's had hoped would be two runs, lead to two outs, as Zach Schumacher was accused of not tagging up at second on Washam's sacrifice.  Then in the sixth, with runners at second and third, one out, Irwin was done.  John Daush came in relief.  Struck out the first, and after intentionally walking Catholic's stud hitter to load the bases, Daush hit the next batter to score the tying run.  Then struck out the next to end the inning.  Tied in the top of the 7th, with two outs, Catholic singles, walks, doubles to drive in two.  With bases loaded, two outs, and the top of the order, the Brothers were unable to regain lost ground.  Zach Schumacher (3-3) John Morgan (2-3), Jeremey Finney (1-1, sac bunt), had a good day at the plate.  But it was Logan Forsythe (1-2) and Jimmy Washam (0-2) who were the only two to pick up RBI's.  So the Brother's end up in Las Vegas, like so many other people, with a losing record (1-3), not so much as to luck, as to facing some pretty tough competition.

A night of two's for the pitching staff.  Giving up a lead off double, Drew Clothier would settle down and not allow another hit the first two innings, then struggle in the third.  Looking to Philip Irwin for relief, he shut down the Saints in the 4th & 5th, only to hit the wall in the 6th.  Giving up two singles, and back to back walks, the Brothers looked to John Daush for the rescue.  With bases loaded, and only one out, the Saints could only muster two more runs before the Purple Wave closed their half of the inning.  So, after 5 ½ innings, the Brothers were down 8-5.  Getting backed into a corner, the tide rose, and sent 10 batters to the plate, racking up 7 runs on 4 hits, and a 12-8 lead going into the top of the seventh.  With a comfortable lead, and Jeremy Finney's  second double play of the evening ending the game, Daush picked up a 12-8 win.  With many contributing at the plate, seniors; Philip Riley (2-3, 2 RBI’s) and Craig Allen (RBI triple, & 3 walks), juniors; Daniel Vanaman (3-3, 1 RBI), John Morgan (12th run RBI single in the 6th) and Josh Speerly (2-3) along with sophomore; Logan Forsythe (big 2 RBI single in the 6th) give an idea of all that was needed to earn this come from behind victory.

The Brothers first league loss hopefully comes as an awakening.  Never able to put together two hits in an inning, they were scraping early trying to get base runners.  After reaching on an error to lead off the 5th, Dylan Bateman stole second, then was driven to third by Jeremy Finney's single. Daniel Vanaman followed with a well placed ball to the right side of the field to score Bateman.  That was the only productive inning the Brothers could muster.  Chase Carpenter pitched hard to keep the game tight.  But the Eagles answered in the bottom of the 5th to pick up 4 runs off 3 hits and an error.  With the Brother's bats done for the day, John Daush's 1.3 innings of no hit relief went without reward.

On a cool, no make that cold, breezy evening, the Brothers recorded their 6th shut out of the season.  Getting it a little bit of trouble in the bottom of the 1st, Clothier had 2nd & 3rd with one out.  Infield ground out, and a strike out ended that jam.  Then in the 6th, back to back infield errors, and a BB put Clothier in another jam with the bases loaded and one out.  Another K (7th of 8 on the evening for Clothier) and a possible gift by the 1st base umpire on a close  6-3 ground ball call, got the Brothers out of the inning with no Saint runs.  John Morgan (2-3), Daniel Vanaman (1-2, dbl, 2 RBI), Brian Rainey (1-2), Craig Allen (1-2) and Philip "the wind got a hold of it" Riley (1-3, dbl, RBI) lead the offense with 6 of the 8 hits.

Losing the first game of the USA Classic (Father Ryan below) the Brothers ended the tournament 3-1.  One of the three hits Irwin allowed, came the same inning as the Brothers 2 errors allowing the Sting's three runs.  An inning later the Brothers put it together.  The five hit inning was capped of by Bryan Rainey's 2 out, 2 RBI, dinger over the left field wall.  Wanting their own turn, in the bottom of the 4th, Finney & Speerly doubled, Schumacher tripled, and Washam and Rainey singled to tally up another 5 hits in the inning.  This gave relief pitcher, Chris Garrett plenty of room to work with.  Taking care of the Sting with a three-up, three-down top of the fifth, Chris showed he could take care of business on the hill.  With John Daush taking one in the head for the team, Chris Skinner's walk, Brent Moss's single off the pitcher's leg set up Drew Clothier to take a base on balls and end the game by the mercy rule.

Chase Carpenter picked up his third win with a complete game performance against Cordova.  Giving up a run in the second, and two in the fifth, the Brothers were again down, late in the game.  But in the bottom of the fifth, the Bateman triple, Speerly double, Washam, Morgan, Finney, Vanaman singles piled up 6 hits for 5 runs.  The two run lead was short, as the Wolves tied it up their next at bat only to be taken away by Logan Forsythe's lead off homerun in the 6th.  Again, the Wolves tied it up their next at bat.  With two outs, bases loaded, bottom of the 7th, Forsythe came through again with a single to drive in the winning run.

Drew Clothier kept the game tight through 4 innings allowing only two hits and three runs.  The Brothers managed to get baser runners in every inning, but it was not until the 7th that the offense would get together.  Down by 5, the Brothers were able to tie it up with help from Daniel Vanaman's bases loaded triple.  Unfortunately, Father Ryan had one last opportunity to strike, and needed only one run for the victory, the Irish were able to get the winning run across in the bottom of the 7th.

Dodging a bullet yesterday, the senior's bats were ready to pound the ball.  On an evening when Philip Riley did not have his best stuff on the mound, relief from John Daush kept the Cougars from scoring.  Josh Speerly picked off a lead off walk, who ventured too far off first, to make the 2nd inning look to be a good one for Daush.  A base hit, and a couple infield boggles and Munford added a run.  After that, John shut the Cougars down, not allowing another base runner for the remaining innings.  Zach Shumacher (2-3, dbl, RBI), Philip Riley (2-4, dbl, 3 RBI's), Craig Allen (2 RBI's).  The Brothers end the tournament 3-0, with the Cordova rain out.

A welcome answer to the first game of the day.  John Morgan (2-4) lead off with a rope down the third base line, followed by Jeremy Finney's (2-4, dbl, RBI) RBI single to put the Brothers on the board early.  The rest of the game followed as Philip Riley (3-4, 2 RBI's), Finney's double bounced back into play off the top of the wall, and Craig Allen, Zach Schumacher and Daniel Vanaman all picked up RBI's.  Clothier allowed a few runners, and a few hits, but was able to pitch himself out of a couple jams, and spaced out the hits just enough to shut out the Mustangs.

A lot of walks and untimely errors put the Spartans behind while the Brothers were not getting base hits.  Jeremy Finney picked up the first hit in the top of the 6th, and Craig Allen's RBI double was the second, and last hit for the Brothers.  While the bats would not come alive, the Brothers had base runners at least on second base, every inning except the 4th.

Take away a defensive error in the top of the second, and Philip Riley makes short work of the Eagles all night.  Facing only 15 batters in his four innings of work, Philip saw 7 of those in the second.  Together with John Daush's relief in the fifth, these two struck out 10 of the 19 Eagle batters.  Very well placed bunts by John Morgan, Jeremy Finney and Zach Schumacher turned into base hits that later turned into runs.  Not hitting the ball very hard, the Brothers made the adjustment and played great small ball.  John Morgan (2-3), Jeremy Finney (1-2, 2 RBI's), Daniel Vanaman (3 RBI's), Josh Speerly (1-2).  The Brothers now improve to 3-0 in the league.

 On a beautiful day for baseball, the Brothers showed up to take care of business.  Chris Garrett did not look as sharp on the mound as in the past, he only allowed 8 base runners and Philip Irwin allowed only 2 in his two innings of relief.  The Brother's offense kept their pitchers from have to worry too much.  Josh Speerly (2-3) Dylan Bateman (2-3, dbl, 2 RBI) Danial Vanaman (2-4) Craig Allen (2-4, dbl, 3 RBI) Jimmy Washam (1-2, 1 RBI) account for 9 of the Brothers 13 hits.

 Chris Brown and Drew Clothier combined for the shut out.  Both pitchers kept throwing strikes for 11 K's and only one walk, actually a hit batter.  Never advancing a runner to second base, the Eagles had little chance of scoring.  Jeremy Finney and Zach Schumacher were both 2-3, Zach with an RBI, Jimmy Washam was 1-2 with 2 RBI's, and though he was only 1-4, Josh Speerly's double, after SBA intentionally walked the bases loaded, drove in two runs that were a part of the 5th inning.  The Brothers are now 2-0 in the league.

Great pitching, striking out 1 out of every 3 batters, the Brothers beat Harding 8-2.  Chase Carpenter started and got the win.  After hitting the lead off batter in the second inning, and giving up an 0-2, 2 out homerun, Chase regained focus and did not fall behind in the rest of the game.  Philip Riley came in relief the last two innings, facing the minimum 6 batters, and struck out two of them.  Having to face a couple left handers, the Brothers made the adjustments amassing 8 hits and 10 walks, they had runners in scoring position every inning.  Offensive highlights, Josh Speerly 2-3, 2 RBI’s, Dylan Bateman 1-2, 1 RBI.

John Morgan's lead off walk started the Brother's 6 run, 4 hit, 3 walk first inning.  An off speed Devil pitcher kept the Brothers from hitting a lot of hard shots, but Josh Speerly (2-2, 2 dbls, 2 RBI's), Zach Schumacher (2-2, 2 dbls), Brent Moss (2-2, 2 RBI's), Jermey Finney (2-4, dbl, RBI), Bryan Rainey (1-2, 3 RBI's) all helped keep the offense going and amassing 9 earned runs.  After Philip Irwin shut the Devils out for the first four innings, John Daush came in relief to complete the shut out, and (1-2, RBI) picked up an RBI to end the game in the 6th.

 Opening their home field, the Brothers piled on the hits when it counted.  Nine of the twelve hits came in the 2nd and 4th innings creating the 10 runs.  Both of Rossview's hits came in the first inning, after which Clothier settled down, allowing only two more base runners, and those by walks.  Chris Brown closed out the last three innings allowing only one baserunner, he too by a walk.  John Morgan (2-3, triple, 3 RBI's) Jimmy Washam (2-3, 2 RBI's) Josh Speerly (2-3, dbl, RBI).

Philip Irwin's first outing was great.  A 56 pitch, 2 hit,  complete game, shut out was quite welcomed after the previous loss.  One hit was to the lead off man, the next, not until the 4th inning.  Quality at bats, timely hitting (and errors by the Eagles) again combined to deplete the Eagle pitching.  Brent Moss (2-3, dbl, 2 RBI) and Daniel Vanaman (1-1, dbl, 3 RBI).

The Brother's bats would just not wake up and give Chase (0-1) the support he needed.  Though he pitched a good game, too few hits, and too many errors would not produce a 'W'.  Early season defensive mistakes, and a couple poor base running decisions did not help the effort.  Daniel Vanaman (1-2, dbl) and Bryan Rainey (1-1, dbl) provided the offensive highlights.

Game two of the double header came with a chilly evening and a great pitching performance from Chris Brown (1-0).  Chris lost a little focus after a solo HR in the 5th, giving up a couple walks.  In the bottom of the 5th, with great bunts and quality at bats,  the Brothers exhausted Eagles pitching.  John Morgan (1-4, dbl, 2 RBI), Jimmy Washam (2-3, 2 RBI, SB), Craig Allen (2-3, 1 RBI), Daniel Vanaman (1-2, dbl, 2 RBI), Brent Moss (1-2, 1 RBI, SB), Dylan Bateman (1-2, 1 RBI).

2003 Opening Day was on a sunny, chilly day, on the driest field the Brothers have seen since last year.  Three hits and an error allowed the Cougars to tie it up in the second.  John Morgan (2-3, SB) led off the 5th with a double and later scored to take the lead.  It was Philip Riley's (3-3, dbl, HR) walk off homerun that gave the Brothers the victory.
