What a hit to right fielder. The right fielder just had no idea where that ball was. Again, you know, we talk about the advantage to the pitcher playing in in this dark um hazy, you know, sky behind you, but for the outfielders is horrible. >> And then not only did he uh miss it, but he fell down and couldn't get the throw in in time. And it it looks catchable if he backed up, but he stayed there >> as Conry takes the ball. So now the tying run in scoring position and a lot of pressure on Connory here is 0 for two. He was hit by a pitch last time and hit could tie it. One and one. >> And even if this score does hold a great effort by Ashland facing a great pitcher to put the pressure on >> and try to come back.
Clark is quickly down nothing and two as he flails at the off speed. >> Right. Yeah. You need five runs to tie. So, the last thing you want to do is uh get your runner picked off here. >> It was a one, you know, was a closer game. You might take the chance, but that one is fouled away. Good spoil by Clark. Still nothing at two. >> Price ahead on the count is very tough because he's not going to give you anything juicy down the middle. Everything's going to be just out of the zone. >> 02. It's a ground ball foul down the first baseline. >> Let's go ahead. >> Once again, we've been in this spot uh several times. You've announced uh swing and a miss. >> Off speed down and away >> as Price struts off the mound with nine strikeouts through six.
They did not want to leave. So, I had to peel them away, but shout out to technology, curriculum, and math. It was a really, really great night to see and attend. And also, the teachers just going the extra mile with staying late night. Mr. Malman was working the book fair. So, it was really cool to see just the Beeler community and and the curriculum department as well. It was just a highlight. So, I just wanted to note that. It takes a lot from a hockey family to not go home to watch a game, so. It took a lot to get me there, but all three kept pressing. So, but go Flyers. Thank you. Anybody else have a committee report? Seeing none, we'll go into old business. We don't have any old business. So, we will move on to new business, but we don't have any new business.
>> Two and one. And if it was to get to the next batter, it's the freshman Grady Clark. And what a >> big spot that would be. >> As Price looks on his win holding on for its life. Three balls and one on strike. >> Good great eye there by Finn. I mean, these balls are great breaking balls. They're coming right down the middle and then falling out. And he's not biting on them. He's, you know, just great discipline there. Ball four. Conry reaches for his second straight plate appearance. And here we go. >> Grady Clark digging in. The freshman >> go for three. >> Tying run on second. Go ahead run on first or winning run I should say is on first base. >> And a walk here could put that tying run 90 ft away in the winning run into scoring position. First pitch is a strike.
Screaming and hyped up with his teammates. And we are going to the last inning. Six to one Norton. >> Price is having a game. I mean, he's he's putting on a pitching clinic here. He's just um just great control. He's got he's got an amazing fast ball. Uh but he, you know, he knows how to throw that change up and mix the pitches in a way that makes it very difficult for the batters. So, yeah, he's he's just doing a great job. >> Well, Ash will have one more chance. Let's see if uh they're going to have to score five runs to tie it or more based on what happens here. >> And I assume Price will come out for the seventh. Yeah, I think >> especially with a a five run lead like this >> and how dominant he's been, nine strikeouts, chance to get the double digits, >> right, >> and finish off a very good quality start, get the win.
>> [laughter] >> She's like At this point, we will move to the open public comment period. Case you are not aware, the I'm sorry. The this public comment period is for any items that you wish to discuss. However, you may not discuss personnel items, student items, or negotiations. We ask that you see the superintendent after the meeting since we do not discuss these matters in public. Please limit your comments to 3 minutes per person. Please state your name and your address. Thank you. Hi, Rosemary Pennotti. It is a personal comment, but I just wanted to make a note. I wanted to thank Dr. Mr. for his service to the district and the retirements with Mr. Hoffman. And also too, I wanted to note you [clears throat] have a lot of personnel changing changes that are happening July 1. We have a new preschool a director of preschool.
Good off speed there from Irish. >> Great breaking ball from the clock on his heels. >> Yeah, lefty on lefty. Those breaking balls look like they're coming at your face and then they then they drop in. It's >> 01 is outside. >> Austin Turncliffe waits on deck. >> You've got to just put yourself in the Ashland player shoes. So much weighing down. >> That was a strike. >> Messer doesn't agree. Neither does Clark. >> That one almost came in and got him. >> And that was a strike. >> But you know, it's a breaking ball. I think it came in and >> from the umpire's perspective looked like a quarter of the play from Clark. He Clark 100% thought it was a ball and didn't like the call. One, two, swing and a miss. >> And the game is over and Norton hangs on by a thread to win a final score of six to five and they get their fifth win of the season.
>> I agree. And and let you know if I'm the coach, unless he tells me his shoulder hurts or he's got an elbow problem or or something where he doesn't feel he's right to go next, then he's back. >> And in his first four appearances, this would actually be his first win. He's 0 and one on the year. >> Wow. >> But came in with an erra at 171. >> Wow. >> And most likely dropped that down significantly. Only giving up one run so far. >> That's amazing. A 171 RA and only of one one game. >> You know, you lost one game. Yeah. >> Too long. You'll lose one. Okay. >> Oh, 0 and one the record. >> That's crazy. That is crazy. >> And obviously that isn't just on the pitcher. You know, three no decisions obviously means that your offense didn't >> produce enough for you while you were on the mound, >> but they certainly have produced today.
We have a new director of curriculum. We have new leadership at MMS, Rice, Van Zant, Demarest, and Jaggard and we'll have a new superintendent come July, I mean September 1st. So there's a lot of leadership changes. So I don't know if 2027 is going to be the year of change, but I wish you all well on how you move forward with that. So again, congratulations to the retirements and thank you for your service. Thank you. Seeing no other public commenters, we will move to board member announcements. Would any board member like to make an announcement? Yes, Ms. Iannone. >> Sorry, I know it's so late. I just wanted to comment about the strategic planning and thank Dr. Smith and Mr. Peelman for initiating that and working together. I started it as a parent and finished it now seeing the finished product as a board member.
The Clockers get their fifth loss. It was close. >> What an effort there at the end. And I mean, well, a lot of credit to this team for coming back and battling in the bottom of the seventh inning, >> getting the getting the tying run on second and, you know, just a hit or an error or or, you know, pass ball away from, you know, potentially tying this game and then maybe ultimately winning it. But, you know, I mean, hats off to um has to go to Norton for winning the game and and Price Price, >> what what a what a what a pitching job he did. Um, you know, he he he definitely wins player of the game. Let's see. And >> a couple hits for him. Yeah. A couple hits at the plate. I mean, he he he you know, he has his team behind him.
>> Yeah. Frustrating to pitch that well and not >> have the wins to show it, >> but looking like he'll get a win today. >> Think we do have somebody warming up for Norton maybe just in case. And it looks like it is uh Logan Irish, another lefty. >> Yeah, but he's he's their second best pitcher. So I I don't think is going to get any advantage here uh if Logan Irish comes in the for definitely not >> but it'll be >> Caleb Luzon to leave it off. 67 and eight doo up here in the seventh. First pitch is skyed towards the dugout and it scatters >> Norton players. Nothing in one. from Z1. >> That's low balling a strike. >> Low and away. >> Dusk is falling. It's getting a little bit uh dimmer outside here. >> Yep. >> One ball, one strike. He's grounded to third, but foul.
So it's really cool to see how that process started and being a stakeholder as a parent and now seeing this beautiful plan laid out for us. It's it's just really cool to watch that process start with Mr. Peelman and Dr. Smith. So kudos and thank you for that because this was a really cool product to kind of have a say and a voice as a parent and now getting to see it laid out as a board member. So I'm looking forward to the action plans and seeing these amazing goals come to light. So Thank you and it will be the board not this board, but it will be the the who has to make sure to be driving this and making sure this is moving forward over the next what did he say three to five years. So, it is our responsibility to make sure things are getting done.
Obviously, they had hits, too, but he he was the one behind the win today. Um, and we knew he'd be tough and he was. >> Clocker's six and five now on the season. We'll have the weekend off before they'll host Denim on Monday. So, entering a big part of the season here, trying to avoid getting back down to 500. But the final score from the middle school today, 65 Lancers, they get the win. It >> was a pleasure to do another game with you, Mr. Tubin. >> Yeah, same here. >> Another great game. >> Yeah, I don't know when we're back together again, but I I don't, but I know there's a couple of games coming up. So, yeah, look forward to that. And that that's about it for us on Waka TV. Final score, Norton six, Ashland five. >> Have a good night. >> Yeah.
That ball was bouncing all over the place down the third baseline is very uneven. >> The clock over there on third base was looking to field it and he's like watching the ball like I have no idea where this ball's going to go. So >> ball and two strikes here >> to Luzon. >> Conry delivers upstairs. Two balls, two strikes. two balls, two strikes. >> A fly ball out of play. >> Still two and two. >> Funny, the Norton bench is really loud and they quiet down a little bit like when the pitcher's about to pitch. >> Not Ashlin. >> The Ashlin bench is like a little bit loud and they start screaming when the pitcher is about to pitch. Two balls and two strikes again. >> That one bounced >> and the count is full. >> That one got away from >> Finn. The full count.
Just a reminder. So, at this time, if there are no other board mem- Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Maxwell. >> got to look this way. Yeah. Um so, first of all, as I always do with every board meeting, I wanted to comment. Um my abstention from 10.6 was due to to family conflicts um with personnel. Um now that it's official, congratulations to Ms. Cam and Dr. Morris uh on their appointments. Um and also I wanted to thank as well um Mr. Pielman, Dr. Smith, etc. from the strategic planning to be able to have a living document to be able to um read on, look at, acknowledge, and also adapt as things change. So, um with that being said, I think we're all set. Thank you. Anyone else for board member announcements before we move to adjourn the meeting? Ms. Donoho. I'm so sorry, Mr. Donoho. That's okay.
>> Three balls, two strikes from Conry. That's a fly ball into left center field. >> That's very playable. >> And Laro is there for it. Connory gets out number one. >> Yeah, unlike the uh the one where uh Oi went down, that one he came in on. So the ball was in front of him the whole time. Same thing, you know, going from his left to his right, but able to get under it and make an easy out there. >> Salem will bat next. He's 0 for one. He's walked and scored or brought home a run. First pitch is a ball again. >> All the other activities here on National Middle School are completed. All the other sports, every softball game, some frisbee practice, and who knows what else was going on. as it's two balls and no strikes to Salem. >> The final inning of this one.
That's all right. That's all right. We're making you jump around. I know you are and I might get in trouble. I don't even know if I'm allowed to do this or not, but um we uh Mr. Brown uh he uh stepped down from the board. Uh he's serving our country right now. Um and so we just, you know, really appreciative of him for, you know, his sacrifices. Um but in the process, we now got to select a new board member. I'm good, right? I'm not getting in Okay, yeah, it was public. It was public. All right. It's It was It's public. I I figured. I was like, I didn't want to overstep. Um but congratulations to Mr. Andrew Wilson sitting in the front here. He'll be joining us. Uh so, super excited to have you come and occupy this space next to me. And uh it'll be good times.
>> Walker is looking to avoid a six and five record as that's a strike. >> And obviously six and five is not a bad record, but one that the clockers probably aren't satisfied with. >> That's a strike. Wow. It's two and two. Good job Finn there battling back from all into a two and two. >> Two balls, two strikes. Strike three. >> Salem could not believe it. >> Had a look of shock in his eyes, but it is strike three. And that is out number two. Two up, two down here for Finn Conry. >> Yeah, that did look out of the zone down the bottom, but >> we'll take it. Don't go flat off of that. Connory >> face DJ boy >> compagnan will take a strike nothing and one >> clockers will have turnliff McCoy and Laro 89 and one that one's upstairs and for now it looks like five runs is the amount they'll need to try to keep this game going.
So, so awesome. Let's do it. Thanks. Thank you. No other announcements? Um then I would like to have a motion to adjourn at this time. >> So moved. >> [laughter] >> Right. Do I have a second? DeMarci, all in favor? I. >> I. Thank you. All
