A very good baseball game! Sure there were some defensive mistakes, but both teams did not let that get them down and both teams fought hard to score runs. The Brothers would hit the ball hard and McCallie's defense would knock it down and get an out. Irwin did his best to keep McCallie's hitters off base, but a few would combine for a couple base hits in an inning and the Purple Wave would make the play or pitch out of it. With a lead off hit-by-pitch in the top of the 7^th, followed by a 'nutty' triple, the Wave would flooded the bases to get several insurance runs.

Scoring early and often was the theme for the day for the Brothers. Hitting the ball hard, getting the timely hit to the perfect location, the Purple Wave put the pressure on MBA to make great plays to get the Brothers out. Four of the five doubles drove in runs and five of the remaining ten singles racked up RBI's to account for twelve earned runs. Packer dominated MBA allowing only two hits, no walkes and no runs, opening the door for the offense to give all the run support any pitcher could desire.

Losing the first game, the Brothers had to play a second to find out who would earn the #1 in their Region. Quickly giving up the one run in their first at bat, the Purple Wave fought back in their next at bat to keep from finding themselves in the same whole they dug just an hour before. Hitting the ball hard and making things happen on the bases, the Brothers forced the Saints to make some defensive errors, and capitalized on them to put some runs on the board. Solid pitching would hold the Saints to just two hits for the 2^nd through the 6^th innings and leave runners stranded at second and third.

A game for pride. Both teams had earned state tournament births and the right to host their bracket of the state tournament. All that was left was to determine 1^st and 2^nd place in the Region for seeding. Though the Brothers out hit the Saints and did not commit an error, Briarcrest was in control the whole game. The Brothers would leave 10 runners on base, three of which came from a bases loaded no out inning.

Not off to the start he was hoping for, Irwin made the lead off hit the only one he would allow. The Brother's defense quickly notice this and went to work to ensure the Eagles would get only one more base runner off a walk. This runner would be retired on the next pitch, getting caught trying to steal second. The offense would pick up the tempo in the 4^th scoring three runs of three hits, two of them for extra bases. Then again in the 5^th, they would tack on two with two hits, one an extra base hit. Insurance in the 6^th came as one run off two hits. This victory earns the Brothers the right to host their state tournament bracket.

Another game with more mistakes then one likes to see during playoff time, the Brother's bats were better tuned and put the pressure on Harding's defense. Running the bases well, and having three multiple hit innings, the Purple Wave controlled the game from early on. Packer struck out 13 of the 27 batters he faced and and seven of the remaining eight outs were ground outs. With this victory the Brothers earn a state tournament birth.

Perhaps a game the Brothers should not have won, it appears the forces of the game were with the Purple Wave. The Brother's first error gave FACS a chance they took advantage of to hold onto a three run lead for three innings. Then back-to-back walks to lead off the fifth would would score as the bats came alive and the Brother's offense would capitalize on several defensive errors. After sending 14 to the plate, and five hits in the 5^th the Purple Wave would take a 6 run lead and be quite thankful for the change in tides.

The Brothers closed out regular season play controlling the offense and defense of the game. Phillip Irwin was sharp and hitting his spots. Though he gave up more hits than he was pleased with, he spaced them out over 5 innings. The defense behind him made the plays to secure the team's sixth shut out. Two triples and a homerun accounted for 6 of the Purple Wave's 10 RBI's. Ending the season 9-1 in District play, the Brothers earn the first place seed and a by in round one of Regional play.

Building since the Collierville loss, sluggish baseball almost caused the Brothers to lose a game that should not have been close. Just going through the motions, the Purple Wave quickly found themselves behind. Since it had been building, the funk was something the players could not shake. Back to back hits in the 5th, and going from first to third on a hit through the infield put the Brothers in good position. Position that would pay off on an infield error that would leave the hitter on third. Then a throwing error that got by the catcher would clear the bases and give the Brothers their three runs in one pitch. Purple Wave talent showed its form in the Brother's pitching keeping Millington from scoring after the first.

The Brothers got off to a slow start, and not in their favor as Harding took the lead in the top of the first. The Brothers tied it in the second, then added more in the third, fourth and fifth innings to finally beat the Lions in 5 long innings. While patience at the plate saw 11 walks to 8 Brothers, few were able to hit a good pitch hard. A line drive with bases loaded that skipped past the center fielder drove in the 13th run - a walk off triple.

Thought the Saints did not score, they did threaten often. In three separate innings they had runners on second and third with none, or only one out and in the first had a runner on second with no outs. In these innings, Packer would rise to the challenge of leaving the base runners out there (striking out 11 with only one walk), and the defense would step up and make the plays to ensure the shut out.

Four hits in the first game the Brothers and early two run lead. After which Eagle pitching would settle down and hold the Purple Wave close. Putting together a couple hits, and capitalizing on two defensive errors, ECS would come within one in the 4^th. With two outs in the bottom half of the 4^th, the Brothers would get one of those two back. Then in the bottom of the 6^th, back-to-back-to-back singles would score two, the third coming off a two out double (the Purpel Wave's only extra base hit).

Ridgeway	0	0	0	0	0	0	-	0	1	1

The bats were slow getting started. Only picking up one hit in each of the first two innings. Pop up outs made it easy for Ridgeway to retire Purple Wave hitters. Then in the third, line drives and hard ground balls got base runners advancing and scoring. Three doubles and three sacrifice flies and the Brothers had made adjustments at the plate to take control of the game. Six K's and seven ground ball outs kept the defenese in the game and ready to make the plays. Rolland allowed only three base runners and none would past second base.

Scoring in their first at bat, the Brothers had a short lived lead as the Dragons answered and tied the game in their next plate appearances. Not facing more than four hitters, nor giving up more than two hits for the next six innings, Collierville's pitcher kept the Brothers from mounting an attack. Bateman pitched well to keep the game close. But timely hitting was the key for Collierville to outscore the Purple Wave.

After losing first place in the District the night before, the Brothers had the rare opportunity to get back on top the very next evening. They took the opportunity and truly capitalized on it. The twelve runs came off only four extra base hits, and 11 RBI's! Though the Owls did have four errors, the Purple Wave earned 8 of their twelve runs.

The Brothers were out played. Losing their first league game, and first place in the District to MUS. Though the Purple Wave would slap two triples in the same inning, that would only produce one run, and they would only manage one more hit for the game. Error were costly as the Owls would score every inning the Brothers would make a mistake. Except for once, when Irwin would get a strike out and two ground outs to leave Owls on second third with no outs.

15 runs off 14 hits with 15 RBI's the Brothers took care of business they way they should have. Only shut out of runs and hits the 3^rd, the Purple Wave slapped doubles and triple (3 and 4 respectively) into the gaps and mixed in singles to have runners ready to be knocked in.

Drew Brooks would not allow an Eagle runner until the 3^rd when two got on by walks, but would not advance. It was not until the 5^th that SBA would get a hit. Unfortunately for Drew, that came after an infield error allowed a runner to get to second, and gave up the run. A lead off double in the 7^th would be the Eagles 5^th and final base runner. Racking up eleven hits (one a stand up triple), and eight RBI's, the Purple Wave kept the bases occupied and the pressure on the Eagle defense.

The Brothers took an early lead with fundamental baseball. With no outs and runners on second and third, back-to-back deep fly balls drove in two. Pitching settled down and neither team could score. Then in the fourth, the Purple Wave batters made the necessary adjustments at the plate and slapped four doubles to score nine runs on six hits with the aid of four Eagle errors. Three more doubles in the fifth along with two singles drove in four runs.

Phillip Irwin pitched a great game! He faced the minimum 21 batters in 7 innings! The only runner for the Lions came on a ball up the middle that Alan Wright made a great play to get to. His turning throw to get the runner was not a strike, but not handled at first. But Blake Forsythe gunned that runner down six feet from second base as he tried to steal. Two triples and two doubles combined with nine singles to keep the Brothers touching the bags and putting together four multiple hit innings, all of which resulted in at least a one-run inning.

Putting up a four spot to start off the game, the Brothers were feeling good. Horn Lake would not let that last as they answered with their own four. A few walks kept the Eagles threatening, but the Purple Wave would keep a safe lead. Slapping multiple hits in every inning except the 4^th, the Brothers would score often. Five doubles and a homerun helped too.

The Brothers suffered a tough loss last night in the 8th inning. Taking an early lead, scoring two in the top of the first. A single followed by a triple gave the Brothers two early hits and a quick two runs. After that, the Purple Wave was shut down only getting three more hits for the next seven innings. Defense played tough behind Matt Packer, allowing Collierville to score only once in fourth and once in the sixth. This was enough to force an extra inning. With two outs, in the bottom of the 8th, the Dragon's only extra base hit was the one that drove in the winning run.

A misplayed ball in the bottom of the first gave the Brothers runners on second and third. With two outs, they could not get that early run across the plate. Saint's pitching kept the Brothers from away from any big hits till the 5^th. Dylan Bateman started the bottom of the 5^th with a lead off double. He would score on a pass ball, a defensive mistake and an RBI by Seth Walker would give the Brothers just enough to hold on to a lead a win. Three walks in the top of the 7^th would give the Saints a threat, but not enough to tie the game or take the lead.

After several time and opponent changes the Brothers were playing Father Ryan as their final game of the USA Classic. A time change at 7pm the night before had them playing at noon instead of an expected 7pm. Alan Wright was ready for war as he launched a solo shot over the fence for a 1 run lead in the first. The Irish were ready to fight as they answered in the top of the second to take a short lived lead. Up by 8, and with a lead off walk in the 6^th, apparently Jimmy Washam was ready to go home, as his walk-off homerun gave the Brothers their 3^rd run-rule win of the weekend.

Another outstanding performance by Phillip Irwin earned him his fourth victory and the Brother's second shut-out of the season. Irwin allowed only one runner past first and faced 15 batters in the five innings of work. With a five run spot in the first, the Purple Wave kept on building their lead. With respect for their bats (and a bad memory from last season) the offense did its part to help Irwin limited the Warriors at bats as much as possible.

The Brother's got a dose of what they have been dishing out. They came out a bit flat, and the Red Devils took advantage of it early, and often. When the Brother's would make a mistake, physical or mental, Germantown jumped on it and turned it into a scoring situation. Being set down in order in the 2^nd and 4^th, were the only innings the Red Devils were unable to scratch for at least one run. Usually getting two or more hits an inning, they had plenty or scoring opportunities. The Purple Wave was only able to put together one two hit inning, and that was when they scored their sole run. Matt Packer pitched pretty well, defensive mistakes may have caused him to lose his composure a time or two, otherwise he was pretty solid.

The first game of the USA Classic took forever to get started. A day of rain pushed the whole tournament back a day. The game before the Brothers ran a little over scheduled time and ended just in time to get the field tarped and wait out more rain. Needless to say, the Purple Wave had plenty of help from Mother Nature washing over the field, especially the outfield. When play begain the Brothers were ready to play. With a one run lead, Seth Walker took to the hill in the bottom of the first and was sharp. Though he gave up a two out walk in the second and WASHam's (Jimmy) dive scored big on the splash, he did not come up with the catch and the runner from first was on his way to score. On his way, but didn't because Washam quickly got to his skis, got to the ball and a strong throw to Alan Wright, who relayed a strike to Blake Forsythe for the tag out eight feet from the plate. Grant Box and Logan Forsythe were perfect at the plate, both slapping double and picking up 3 and 2 RBI's respectively.

Keeping the bats warm, the Brother's jumped on Senatobia's staring pitcher early. Racking up three hits in the first and 12 RBI's, the Purple Wave did not recede nor did they allow the opposition to mount much of an offense. Irwin pitched well with the early led, and got plenty of offensive support always answering, and adding to, any runs Senatobia could score. The Warriors limited the Brother's extra base hits to three, but the Purple Wave racked up 12 RBI's.

Wet conditions did not keep the Brothers from running the bases and moving the baseball. Driving the ball to the gaps, base runners were frequent sending 11 to the plate in the first, 6 in the second and 10 in the third. Most of the Brother's hits were for extra bases, only three singles, with 11 RBI's for the game. Dylan Bateman was sharp on the mound. He only allowed West Memphis hitters to second base in the 4^th, when he pitched himself out of a bases loaded jam.

The Brothers jumped on Houston's starting pitcher early. All hard contact outs in the first, followed by Packer's three-up, three-down bottom of the first, brought the Purple Wave back to the plate quickly. Sending all nine hitters to the plate, the 4 hit, 6 run second was capped off with Logan Forsythe's (2-4) 2 RBI homerun and Alan Wright's second hit of the evening. Packer stayed in control on the hill, seeing 5 Mustangs in only one inning, and 3 or 4 the other six. After the second, Houston pitching settled down and kept the Brothers under control until the 5^th when the Purple Wave managed to load the bases, but just could not get that hit to break it wide open. While Packer racked up 8 K's, the Brothers had 8 of their own.

A twenty minute rain delay in the first led to a heavy fog rolling in off the banks of the Mississippi. Though the fog would lift a little and return a few times during the game, the Brother's offense would not let up. Hitting picked up where it left off after game 1, and the Purple Wave racked up at least 3 hits an inning until the 5^th, when they only managed one. One of Matt Packer's RBI's, three of Bryan Rainey's RBI's and four of Jimmy Washam's RBI's came of pop-up hits cleared the fence. Four doubles and the eight singles added the remaining seven RBI's for the Brother's thirteen earned runs.

Base hits and extra base hits were rampant as the Brothers had three or more hits in each inning until the 5^th when they only had two. Racking up 15 RBI's in the game, the Purple Wave offense gave Danny Furniss plenty of run support to allow him to quickly retire hitters and feel comfortable with the defensive support behind him. Even with five errors by the opposition, the Brother's earned nine of their sixteen runs.

Hitting the ball a bit better, the Brothers came close breaking back in to double digit hits. Jimmy Washam (tripe), Seth Walker (HR) and Logan Forsythe (double & HR) did produce extra base hits the Purple Wave had been missing. Walker threw four good innings on the hill and allowed Brooks to pick up a fairly easy save. Brooks did have to pitch out of a jam or two, but with late inning runs, the Brothers gave him a cushion to be comfortable.

Again held in check at the plate, the Brothers were unable to break loose and rack up the double digit hits and only recorded one extra base hit. Phillip Irwin was solid on the hill for all seven innings. With five strikeouts and only one walk, Archbishop Shaw had a very difficult time getting any offense together. Logan Forsythe, Alan Wright and Bryan Rainey were worked throughout the game with ground balls and made the plays every time. Irwin not only threw strikes, but fielded his position and was there to cover first when necessary.

After the early innings, the bats went dead and Jesuit just about set the Brothers down in order. Breaking their three game streak of double digit hit totals, the Brothers were also held to only one extra base hit. Though the Purple Wave never gave up, they just could not get the momentum back.

Facing only 15 batters in those four innings. Another game of 'short outs' and 'long ins' for the Purple Wave had them sending 9 batters to the plate in both the first and fourth innings (6 and 5 in the 2^nd & 3^rd). Drew Martinez, Matt Packer and Alan Wright all slapped the ball around for multiple hits on the way to 12 team hits.

Solid pitching kept West Memphis from getting mounting any real offense. 'Short outs' led to 'long ins' keeping the pitchers rested and the Purple Wave bats swinging. Picking up multiple hits, and back-to-back hits in every inning except the 5^th and extra base hits in every inning except the 4^th, the Brother's kept warm on a chilly, breezy night with a lot of sprints. 'Executive Assistant' Andy Estes got in a little job, touching the fence, during the bottom of the 5^th. Ten Brothers picked up hits in the game and five of them had doubles. Brian Rainey, Seth Walker and Grant Box all smacked in multiple RBI's. Following Clay Roland's start, Drew Brooks and Jason Volpe also got some relief work on the hill and kept the defensive pace to allow the offense to continue their assult.

A night of firsts of many. A team of Brothers showed up to get the season on the right track. Banding together to break into double digits for hits, all of the Brother's runs were earned. Unfortunately, defensive errors led to the oppositions runs all being unearned. While a power outage cut Dylan Bateman's performance on the hill to only two innings, he faced only 7 batters, striking out two and did not allow a runner past first base. Though the lights came back on, the Trojans did not think so. Seth Walker struck out 10 of the 18 batters he faced in 5 innings with only one hit. For the first time, the Brothers produced three hits in a row that would result in the 3 run 2nd. Then in the third, Logan Forsythe's triple would be the first extra base hit, immediately followed by Matt Packer's triple. With back-to-back walks, and a ground out to short, Bryan Rainey was not going to let up, smacking a triple of his own in the 7th.

In a game led by pitching, Cordova struck out 11 of the Brothers 31 hitters, with only 3 walks, while Matt Packer and Phillip Irwin combined to strike out 15 of the 30 Wolves, with only two walks. A few early inning defensive errors allowed Cordova to take a lead their pitching would not give up.
