A battle to stay alive in the State Tournament, and both teams were
ready to fight. Again the Brothers managed to score early,
just not often. This allowed MBA the chance to stay in the
game and create a real dog fight. A loss meaning the end of
the season for either team, made each team fight hard as their back
was pushed up against the wall at different times throughout the
game. Putting up crooked numbers in the 4th, 5th,
and 6th, gave the Brothers just enough room to pull out a
win. Now they must beat Baylor twice tomorrow to make it to
the championship game. |

This time the opposition had the chance to score early and often and
did so. Capitalizing on some early mistakes, Baylor put the
Brothers behind and would not let them get anything going. The
Purple Wave would threaten often, but just not get that big hit to
score runners. The loss, puts the Brothers in the losers
bracket and makes them play a second game today. |

Batting first the Brothers wanted to score early and often.
Sending 13 to the plate in the first inning and first five getting
on base off 5 hits and one hit batter. Handling MBA's hitters
three-up, three-down, for the first two innings and only facing four
in the bottom of the 3rd, the opposition could just not
get anything going. Then in the bottom of the 5th,
three singles in a row would load the bases with no outs. But
a ground ball back the pitcher for a 1-2-3 double play, followed by
a ground ball to first would complete the shut-out |

A bit of a flat start, and not the productive offense the Brothers
would customarily show. Yet they stepped up their focus and
got the job done, to win First Place in the Region. While the
Purple Wave would slap six doubles, only one of them would score.
The Owls strong defense would even keep lead off back-to-back
doubles in the 4th from producing any runs. It
would take four hits n a row, in teh 5 hit 5th, for the
Brothers to create some distance and give Packer the lead he needed
to pick up the win. |

A rough start had the Brothers behind early. Good pitching by
the Owls kept the Purple Wave's offense at bay for the first two
innings, only allowing one hit. Though the Brothers tied it up
in the bottom of the 2nd, that was short lived as MUS
answered in their next at bat to regain the lead. Then in the
5th the Brother's bats came alive. 3 doubles and 3
singles later the Brothers put six runs on the board with no errors,
two of the runs would come with two outs. With an established
rhythm, Skinner would only allow two hits in the last two innings,
and solid defense would not allow the Owls to score. |

In the first game of the Regional Tournament, Tipton-Rosemark came out
strong, with a double and a single to score the runner that got on
by a Brother's error. After the Purple Wave fought back in
their half to take a 3 run lead, the Rebels offense faded. But
the Brothers would not let up. Hitting in every inning, and
with six doubles, the bases were kept occupied and scoring
opportunities for the Purple Wave were plentiful. |

Attacking the baseball the Brothers took the lead in their first at
bat and kept adding to it before they would allow the Eagles to the
plate. Matt Packer would face only 16 batters through 5
innings and not give up a second hit until the bottom of the 7th.
Three separate Brothers would get extra base hits and 8 different
hitters would combine for the Brother's 9 hits. This game caps
off the regular season for the Purple Wave and secures them the
number one seed in the District with a perfect 10-0 record. |

On graduation day, being visitors at their own field, the
Brothers had a much better focus at the plate and a determination to
get the job done. Lead off hits in each of the first three
innings would score and three singles, a double and a triple in the
3rd would give Walker a comfortable victory. |

Runners left at second and third in the bottom of the 1st
was a sign of the difficulty the Brothers would have scoring.
3-up, 3-down in the 2nd and 3rd and it would
be the 4th inning before the Purple Wave would second
hit. Lead off single, stolen base, another single and the
Brothers had one run, but were then shut down. But in the 5th
single, double, walk, single and three runs off three hits. A
pitching change and the Brothers were shut down for the rest of the
game. With Skinner's solid performance, spreading 4 hits over
4 separate innings, Harding's offense was kept in check. Not
allowing a runner past second base, Skinner and the Purple Wave
defense made the 4 runs more than enough to win the game. |

Hitting early and often, the Brother's first four batters got on base
and would score. St. Benedict would fight back scratching for
two in the bottom of the first. Volpe would then hold them
scoreless for the next three innings, allowing only 3 hits in four
innings as the Purple Wave would tack on three more. Will
Shorter would close out the last three innings and also allow only
three hits. Unfortunately for Will, all three hits would be in
succession and produce two runs for the Eagles. With the aid
of the Purple Wave's third double and a homerun, Shorter would have
a comfortable 11-2 lead so that Eagle's last two runs did not pose
too much of a threat. One game of quality at bats does not
mean the have 'picked it up'. |

Lack of a powerful offense made the no-hitter, crucial but less
enjoyable. The Saints challenged the Brothers to make the
plays defensively and at the plate. Leaving four runners in
scoring position (3 with less than two outs) in the first 5 innings,
it would not be until the 7th that the Purple Wave would
pickup an RBI. Struggling to find those double digit hit
games, did the Brothers peak too early? As tournament time
approaches, and a week of league play at hand, can they pick it up? |

Friday night at home, the Purple Wave offense would show up and give
Thompson all the run support he would need to earn a complete game
victory. Only allowing more than one hit in an inning (the 4th),
the Red Devils had a hard time scoring. In the 4th all
but one Red Devil that got in scoring position did cross the plate.
But pitching and defense would strand four other Germantown
baserunners. While on the Brother's side, three doubles and
two homeruns helped to put runners on base in all but the 6th
for the Purple Wave. |

A tremendous pitching performance by Skinner had him pitching out of
jams the defensive errors presented. Germantown had 10 runners
in scoring position and was only able to produce one run. On
the other hand, the Brothers had two big two out doubles that drove
runners in from first. Held to only five hits, the Purple Wave
offense was unable to get rolling to compliment Skinners efforts. |

Putting runners on base in all but the 2nd inning, the
Brothers tested Collierville's defense and made their pitching rise
to the challenge of keeping the Purple Wave offense in check.
Three extra base hits would only produce one run. Packer would
again thwart any offensive threat. Spreading three hits over
three innings, and stranding a double at second base, and a lead off
single at third. |

Two pop-ups and a strikeout looking, and the Brothers were sat down
quickly in their half of the 1st. With Volpe doing
the same to Ridgeway's hitters, the Purple Wave was soon back at the
plate and sending runners around the bases. With a homerun,
two doubles and 11 singles, the Brothers had 28 batters in
their last 3 innings of offense. |

The Brothers came out hot and attacked Houston early to get all their
hits and productive offense in the first inning. Taking on one
more in the 5th would be just enough to get by. The
Mustangs would prove fierce as they would get seven runners into
scoring position that Skinner would step up and keep
from crossing the plate. Likewise the Purple Wave would set up
four of their own they could not get home, quite uncharacteristic of
this team. Matt Packer would come in the top of the 7th
to close out the game and pick up his first save of the year. |

The Brothers jumped out to an early lead they would not relinquish.
Sending 10 to the plate in the top of the 1st, it looked
to be a long night for opposing pitching. Yet in the second
the Purple Wave would only scratch for one, and be shut out for two
more innings. MUS loaded the bases a few times, yet Brother's
pitching and defense would not let the Owls capitalize on some good
scoring opportunities. |

The Saints would manage to put both their hits in the same inning and
produce their only run in an inning when 5 batters would make it to
the plate. Otherwise Packer had three 3-up, 3-down innings and
one 4-up, 3-down to face only 18 in five innings. For
the other half f the game, the Brothers were happy to be home and
the offense showed that. Three homeruns, three doubles and a
triple would be make half the Purple Wave's hits, extra base hits
and produce nine RBI's. |

Championship time. Game 4 in three days for both
teams would prove to be a slugfest. Sending nine to the plate in
the top of the 1st‑ the Brothers would rack up 4 hits and
take an early three run lead. BGA would answer with a lead off
double that would score to nibble at the lead. Sending ten hitters
the plate in the top of the 2nd, the Purple Wave got that
run back, and a few more. But the tone was set, and hitting and
scoring was the theme for the afternoon. The Beast would be tamed
by the Wildcasts first, and second. BGA’s grandslam in the bottom
of the 3rd would put them up by one and cap off their 6
run inning. The second, a solo shot in the bottom half of the 5th
would put the Brothers down by two. Brother’s pride and
determination would be apparent as they would throw up their own 6
run inning and send their own shot (a 2 RBI blast) over the Beast.
Now up by four, the Purple Wave would toughen up and close out the
Wildcat’s last two inning three-up, three-down and not allow them to
get any offense going. |

Brother’s defense along with Skinner’s pitching
would not allow the Royals more than two runners in any one inning.
Making all the plays defensively, Royals hitters could not put
together a run producing inning. Yet the Brothers would put runners
on base in all but one inning. Again the Purple Wave would attack
the Beast as two Brothers drove balls over the left field wall, both
with runners on base. |

Racking up a hit in all but the 2nd
inning, the Purple Wave put themselves in position to score often.
Timely extra base hits would drive in runs, and leave a man in
scoring position to be driven in by a later Brother. The Beast
(20ft high, 200ft long left field wall) would be brought down by the
Brother’s ball still rising as it was driven over the wall. Yet
walks plagued the Brother’s pitching in early innings and presented
David Lipscomb with several base runners. Tough defense and
determined pitching would hold Lipscomb to only getting one of those
walks across the plate. Down by 9, Lipscomb led off the 6th
with a double and would scratch off two more hits to push 5 across
the plate, but not enough to close the gap the Brother’s offense
created from earlier innings. |

A great game with a strong duel between two undefeated pitchers.
The Brothers would get a lead off double in the 2nd, but
BGA would no allow him to score. Back-to-back singles to lead
off the 5th would produce the first scores and be enough
for a Purple Wave victory. Another lead off single to start
the 6th and the lead would increase. A new pitcher
in the top of the 7th and the Purple Wave would slap two
doubles and push four more runners across the plate. |

The Brothers took the bats out and used them to get ahead early and
score often. Did not matter whether there was no, one o two
outs the Purple Wave put base runners on and usually in
position to score and often did. Even with no one on, the
Brothers would use the long ball to score. |

The Brother's defense was tough, through the first three games of the
USA Classic they had allowed only 5 runs. Now after an inning
and a half of the Championship game, they were down by 4. But
in the bottom of the 2nd, a single, two doubles and a
homerun would tie it up. Able to get runners to third base in
3 of the next 4 innings, those would be the Purple Wave's only
baserunners and hitters just could not get them across the plate.
In the 7th the Brothers would score from first on a
double, but again would leave a runner in scoring position and
suffer their first loss. |

The most Trinity would send to the plate in an inning would be 5.
That would happen only once, and the Shamrocks would get that lead
off hit around for their only score. Of the Brother's 12 hits,
half of them would be extra base hits (5 doubles and 1 triple).
And of their 13 runs, 10 would be earned. |

Continuing to make solid contact, the Brother's had baserunners every
inning and did the most they could to get them across the plate.
Though the errors were costly for the Owls, the Purple Wave would
slap four doubles an two triples, only one of which would not drive
in runs. When MUS did strike in the 4th, the
Brother's would answer in their half of the inning and just increase
their lead. |

The
Brothers made their purpose clear early last night. Sending 17
batters to the plate in two innings, they had a comfortable 8 run
lead, but would not rest. They added three more in the 4th with
three extra base hits, scoring for the game was done. Matt Packer,
Stephen Thompson and Drew Smith would share pitching duties and only
allow three hits and two Hardin County hitters to reach second, and
neither to advance. Seth Walker would go 3-3 with 1 RBI,
David Clayton 2-3 with 2 RBI's, Matt Packer 1-2 with 3 RBI's, Blake
Forsythe, Walker, Shelton and Packer would all pick up exta base
hits. Now 14-0, the Brothers face MUS tonight for their second game
of the USA Classic at 7:30 at USA Stadium.

Game two of the day would challenge the Brothers with a very good
hitting Bolton team. Five hits in the 3rd would
give the Wildcats a nice lead for a couple innings. Not
wanting to push extra-innings again, the Brothers would create
back-to-back three-hit innings in the 4th and 5th
to take a short lived one run lead. Lead off hitters (single
and double) would score in the 6th and 7th for
a two run lead the Purple Wave would not relinquish. Though
the Brother's defense would face three errors, they would buckle
down and none of those runners would score. Packer and
Forsythe's doubles would both score, while only two of Bolton's four
extra-base hits would reach the plate. |

John Michael Skinner would pitch a very good game , keeping good
hitters off base and allowing the Brother's offense all the time
they needed to pull off a victory. Catholic's only run would
come off a two-out double followed by a single in their only
multiple hit inning. Catholic pitching would limit the
Brothers to 5 consecutive 3-up-3-down innings (2nd-6th).
In the top of the 8th, Thompson would score the go ahead
run off a deep, sacrifice fly by Wright. Following Walker's
walk, Packer would unleash his frustration of not scoring after his
head off double in the 7th buy slapping a two-RBI homerun
to give the Brothers all they would need to secure the vitory. |

Ten different Brother's batters combined to rack up 14 hits in 4
innings. Drew Martinez and Fallon Maness being the only two to
hit extra base hits. All of Station Camp's errors came in the
2nd an the the Purple Wave would capitalize on that for a
very large inning.. Volpe would throw a complete game and
would face an inning high of 5 hitters in the 3rd. |

A lead off walk lead to an early run and a three inning lead for
Munford. Though it would not be early, it would be often that
the Brothers would score in the 4th and 5th
innings to take over the lead, and then create some distance.
Seth Walker would score first for the Purple Wave from a lead off
solo homerun shot in the top of the 4th. Blake
Forsythe and Stephen Thompson would slap back-to-back bombs later in
the same inning. Drew Martinez would lead off the 5th
with a double to get the Brother's second 4-run inning started. |

First time as visitors, first away game, the Brothers came out
swinging the bats, making hard contact and scoring early and often.
Seth Walker would have two extra base hits with 4 RBI's, Matt
Packer, Blake Forsythe, Drew Martinez and Will Shorter would all
pick up extra base hits with Packer adding 5 RBI's and Forsythe 1.
An umpire with an estranged strike zone, Drew Brooks did what he
could to hit spots. Defense stayed alert, committing no errors
and did not allow a runner past second until the bottom of the last
inning. |

Up an down the line up the Brothers made solid contact with the
baseball and creating scoring opportunities. Seth Walker and
Matt Packer both had extra base hits, along with multiple RBI's.
A few baserunning mistakes kept the Purple Wave from breaking
several innings open. But behind solid pitching,
the Brothers were never in jeopardy of losing the lead. Even a
first pitch single for Olive Branch in the top of the first would be
quickly negated by Packer picking off the runner on the next play. |

John Michael Skinner threw a great game! Only allowing more than
one Eagle on base in the same inning, once. And the Eagles
would capitilize on that opportunity, along with the only Brother's
error, to score. The Brothers would slap four hits in the
bottom of the first, including Blake Forsythe's RBI double, and
continue to add more in 2nd and 3rd.
Needing that elusive 10th run, Drew Smith would lead off
the bottome of the 6th with a base hit, and wind up
scoring three batters later to end the game. |

Taking an early lead and consistently adding to it, put the Purple
Wave in a position to mount a comeback after the Eagles had a big
inning in the top of the sixth. Though the Brothers gave up 5
runs in that half inning, scoring in four of the five previous
innings had them only down by two. On a cold afternoon, the
pitching and defense just could not close out an inning. Seven
of ECS's nine runs, were scored with two outs. Josh Shelton's
two doubles would drive in four runs, and David Clayton's two-out
double would also pick him up an RBI. With two or three
baserunners an inning, the Purple Wave would manage to get at least
one of them around to score, except for the 4th when
Eagle pitching and defense would not allow a Brother's hit. |

On a cold, damp (wet in the outfield) night the Brothers faced off
against the Owls for their first District game of the season.
Ignoring the adverse conditions, the Brothers answered Packer's 3-K
top of the first with three hits and two runs. Getting runners
on base, either by walks or hits, the bottom of the 4th
would be the only other inning in which they would scratch.
Sending 10 to the plate, and 4 timely hits in that inning would
widen the gap. David Clayton, Matt Pakcer and Alan Wright
would all record extra base hits. |

Great pitching saw John Michael Skinner throw 6 innings of the 'no-no'
and Seth Walker close out the 'no-no' with 1 inning of save work.
Both teams made all the defensive plays necessary to keep the
baserunners away from scoring. Alan Wright would get the only
extra base hit of the game and then score on a pass ball in the
first inning. Only one other Brother would reach third base in
the game, and none of McCallie's runners would pass second. |

Though the Brothers would send 18 hitters to the plate in the first
three innings, only four of them would cross the plate. Jason
Volpe threw four three up-three down innings and kept
Dyer County from establishing much of a scoring threat. Later
innings saw Dyer County's pitcher settle down, and quiet the
Brother's bats. |

Slapping hits in every inning, and multiple hits in the 3rd,
4th, and 5th innings, the Purple Wave gave
their pitching room to work in comfort. Except for the 3rd,
when Hornlake would scratch for 2, Drew Brooks would not allow a
runner past second. Not willing to go down without a fight,
Hornlake lake would put together a two-hit 5th and
capitalize on a fielding error to scratch three runs of relief work
of Will Shorter. The Brother's offense would not rest, and
answered in the bottom of the 5th against
exhausted pitching and end the game. |

First game of the season you'd expect hitting to be above pitching.
But this game both pitchers had great stuff. Putting together
a 4 hit 3rd inning, the Brothers were able to score
first. Packer's 19 strikeout, complete game did not allow the
Cardinals more than one opportunity to think about scoring, which,
without a throwing error, might not have even happened. Alan
