*Official
box: http://www.statbroadcast.com/events/archived.php?id=468295
*Jim's
unofficial notes:
*General note - a
close, fast-paced and exciting game. Some errors / mistakes but well
pitched (2 complete games, 1 walk, 9 strikeouts combined).
*Errors matter: A
top of the 7th inning, 2-out error with bases loaded allowed
Barrington/158 to tie the game at 1-1;
*Walks matter:
Janesville/205 only issued one walk - a 2-out bases loaded walk in
the top of the 7th to give Barrington/158 a 2-1 lead (Janesville/205
also had one Intentional Walk);
*Players need to
know the game of baseball and the situation - with 1 out (runners 2nd
& 3rd) in the bottom of the 5th (score 0-0) a flyball to center
seems like a sacrifice fly - but the runner on 2nd was late returning
to 2nd and was doubled off to end the inning;
*Keep your head in
the game at all times - In the bottom of the 6th a 1-out/runner on
1st double scores the runner from 1st with a close play at the plate
- but the batter is caught (in a run-down) trying to advance to 3rd
on the same play;
*Jim's Narrative
top of the 7th for Barrington/158 - score is Janesville 1, Barrington
0 -
(1) Strikeout; (2)
infield single; (3) popup to short - 2 out!; (4) single to right,
runner on 1st goes to 3rd; (4a) runner on 1st steals 2nd; (5) with
2-0 count Intentional Walk to load the bases; (6) ground ball to 3rd,
attempting to tag runner the ball rolls free - 1 run scores (1-1),
bases remain loaded; (7) RBI Walk, score now Barrington/158-2,
Janesville/205-1; (8) linedrive out to RF; Janesville went 1-2-3 in
the bottom of the 7th;

in the bottom of the 7th);
*Official
box: http://www.statbroadcast.com/events/archived.php?id=468296
*Jim's
unofficial notes:
*General note: A
close game, tense with Eau Claire Post 53 leaving 10 men on base and
Linwood Post 239 leaving 9. Linwood Post 239 had two critical errors
in the bottom of the 7th.
*Eau Claire/53's
starting pitcher Bennett Stokke took a pitch off his helmet in the
2nd inning, stayed in but left after pitching the 4th inning;
*Getting away with
“freebies”?: Linwood/239 issued 7 walks, 3 hit-batters and 4
errors where the batter reached base - but only 2 of those 14
baserunners scored;
*The timing of
“freebies” matters!: Linwood/239 gave up one walk and two errors
in the bottom of the 7th to load the bases with 1 out - followed by
the game-winning 2 RBI single;
*Double plays
help: Linwood/239 had double plays in the first 3 innings stranding
three Eau Claire/53 baserunners;
*Failure to
capitalize: Linwood/239 had 5 men reach to start the 4th inning
(single, single, HBP, RBI walk, RBI walk) but then a foul-out to
third, a strikeout and a fly-out to center for only two runs.
*Jim's Narrative
bottom of the 7th for Eau Claire Post 53 (Linwood/239-2, Eau Claire
53-1): (1) Batter safe at 1st (E3F); (2) Sac Bunt (1-3), baserunner
advances to 2nd; (3) Walk (runners on 2nd, 1st); (4) Fielder's
Choice/E4F to load the bases with 1 out; (5) A 2-run single to
center, play at the plate on the 2nd runner ws too late (though
close);
