001Comes the one. >> That's a strike. >> Beautiful pitch by Chris right there. >> That fast ball has been his best pitch. >> It's a one-1 count. >> It's a fly ball into left field. >> Lame on the move and he's got it. >> Jake Lame makes the catch and his two quick outs for Bratica. >> So a very good start for us right now. >> Very good start. Yeah, >> Alvin Valdez will bat next >> out in center field today. Lefty against lefty here for Bratica. >> Oh, one or >> first pitch. >> Bounce that one in there. No Jared Grumbum in the lineup for the Clockers today, >> but pitched a really good game against Hopedale in their last game. A 10 to1 win as Valdez swings and misses. >> Beautiful breaking ball
002right there. >> Was a really nice pitch. >> Ball and a strike from Bradica to Valdez. >> That one just missed. I don't know about that one. >> I don't know where that one missed. >> Two balls in a strike though. Wow. Generous call going the way of Whan there. >> Two balls in a strike from Bradica. It's a ground ball past the mound. Shriber waits for it at short. He throws to first and a one, two, three first inning for Chris Bradica. >> Beautiful play right there. >> Really nice play. That was a quick eight pitch inning there. We go to the bottom of the first. We'll see if Ashland can start their first win at home this season. Cooper McFarland is the starting pitcher for Wayland right-hander and he'll face Laro Bradica and
003Shriber at the top. Then Finn Conry, Jake Lameé and Ian McCoy. Mark Merkelstein in the starting lineup batting seventh. Grady Clark and Austin Turniff rounds it out. So, a little bit of a different look from last time we were here with Laro in the leadoff spot and Conry dropped down into the cleanoff spot. >> Yeah, it's pretty good powerful lineup right here for the clockers, you know. So, let's see what they do in the first inning. >> The bats have struggled a little bit the last few games. Relied a lot on their pitching. We'll see if they can start getting the power back into the lineup. >> Yeah. >> Here against McFarland. So, Laro will lead it off 278 on the season, five for 18. He's scored nine times. He's been hit by a pitch
004six times in seven games for the Clockers. So, he gets on base. >> Couple seniors to start the lineup for the Clockers. Yep. >> So, Laro will dig in. >> And here's the first pitch from McFarland as way upstairs. try to hit him right there and scare him off. But >> Ollie is no stranger to the hit by pitch. Here's the one. That's outside. Two balls and no strikes. >> Comes the two for McFarland. >> That's a strike. Ollie does not agree. >> I don't know about that call. looked a little inside there. >> Don Pire's already um making some questionable calls here, but >> two balls in a strike. That's way upstairs and a quick three ball, one strike count to Laro with Bradica waiting on deck. >> Three and one. That's a strike.
005So now a full count here to Laro >> yet to swing the bat here. >> 3-2 on the way. That is way upstairs. Laro will sprint to first base just in case. The catcher will grab it at the back stop. That was a bit upstairs. Wow. Ashlin bench chirping. Now here comes Chris Bradica. >> 565. He's driven in 13 runs. He's got eight doubles on the year. He'll take a strike. >> OPS on the season. 1,568. 1.568 OPS. So he is smashing the baseball. >> Yeah. >> 01 is upstairs balling a strike. looking to be a great uh senior season for Chris Bradica for sure. >> Was a Tri Valley League All-Star last year. >> Most definitely looks like he's heading in that direction again as McFarland will check on Laro is back in. >>
006Here's the pitch. That's a strike >> right down the pipe right there. >> So, a ball and two strikes on Bradica. See if Laro takes off in this atbat. >> That's outside. Laro. A delayed steal. The throw. Not in time. >> It's going to be safe there. Good uh late jump, but >> late jump. >> Still got there. >> Yeah. caught the catcher Johansson off guard there. >> But a good job by coach Messer to call for that delayed steal there. And quickly a runner into scoring position with no outs here. So Bradica could drive home the first run of the game with a hit here and a two count. >> McFarland's ready. Here's the 2-2. That's a foul ball. Owl just going to stay in that bat here. Always good to, you know, keep
007on trying after an bat. >> Radica working the count here. Two and two again. Another foul ball. >> Keep on fighting. Keep on fighting. >> Spoiled another one there for McFarland. >> Shberweights on deck. 2-2 once more. That one is outside and the count is full. So backto back full counts for McFarland. >> He's already thrown 13 pitches here. >> It's good to work the pitch count. Ashlin seems to do that pretty well. 3-2. >> That one shot fouled away. Almost an out there by the catcher, but can't get there. >> Yeah, foul tip that was not held on to. So, Brad will have another chance here. >> Three balls, two strikes. That's a shot into center field. Valdez settles under it >> and he makes the catch. Laro will tag and he'll hesitate and
008go back to second base. Ratica got under that one and out number one. >> Triber up to bat. >> Triber 292 on the season. And the pitch. >> That one is inside for ball one. Striber has been hit three times this season. So Ashlin loves getting hit by the pitch. He's got a runner in scoring position. One out. Here comes the one as McFarland will step off. Larose dancing back there trying to get in the pitcher's head. >> Here's the one. It's a ground ball past the third baseman down the line. Laro is coming home to score. Shriber's on his way to second. It is not in time. An RBI double and Ashland takes the lead. >> Good hit by by Michael Shriber right down the line. Third base side can't beat it. his second
009double of the season. >> So he'll take Laro's place there at second. Finn Conry will dig in. 368 for Conry. There's the first pitch. That's upstairs. >> So quick start for Ashlin. Here's the one out. >> That's a cold strike. >> Big spot here to try to make it hurt. Try to get a couple runs in early going. That one is grounded. Foul down the first baseline and the count's one and two. So, one and two count to Finn Connory. >> Shriber on second. Here it comes. That's a line drive into center. A base hit. Shriber gets the wave. He's coming home. The ball is bobbled out there in center. An RBI single for Finn Conry. And Ashland is up two nothing. >> Good spot here for the Ashland Cockers. right right away right off
010the bat. You know, >> Connor drives home his team leading seventh RBI of the season. The sophomore here's Jake Lame. First pitch that one bounces kept in front by Johansson. It's ball one. Lame batting 438. Seven for 16. He's driven home five runs on the season. >> Here's the one out. Another one bounced. That one is going to get by. >> And Conry is going to get there on a pass ball. >> It seems like McFarland's just a little wild here. >> Yeah, command is not great right now, but >> it's only got one out, 23 pitches. Two balls, no strikes. Lame into right >> and the catch is made there and Connory will hold at second. So that's out number two. >> And McCoy will dig in. >> 235 on the season for McCoy.
011He's got two outs and a runner at second. >> Here's the first pitch. >> That one just misses. >> Umpire there with another questionable call. Um >> I don't know about that one. >> It's close. >> Here's the one out. That's a strike. So, one ball and one strike now. And McFarland will throw back to second. Conres's back in there. >> So ball and a strike on McCoy. Here comes >> at strike two at the knees. >> One ball, two strikes. Ground ball foul. >> Cloggers keep on working the pitch count up here. >> Yeah. 27 pitches for McFarland. 28 pitches, sorry. So, a long first inning, but he can limit it to just two runs. Here it comes. That one's in the dirt. A good stop by Johansson. >> So, two balls and two
012strikes to McCoy. 2-2 >> just missed full count. >> McCoy leads the team in walks. He's got 10 of them on the season. >> Werstein waits on deck. 3-2 outs. It's a ground ball to second. >> Second. >> Kulie's got it. And the throw to first is in time to end the first inning. But Ashland scores two and they lead two nothing. So the catcher Mikey Johansson will lead it off against Spraatica here. Got a one, two, three first inning. >> Bradica looking to um uh take advantage of that one, two, three inning, keep the pitch count low, and hopefully get them back in the dugout as soon as possible. >> Y >> eight pitches in that first inning. Didn't strike anyone out, but we contact. And that one's upstairs. Here's the pitch. It's felt
013straight back. Makes you flinch. >> So, a ball and a strike here to Johansson. >> Here comes the 1-1. >> That's another foul ball. So, >> one ball and two strikes. >> Both of these teams played yesterday. Ashlin won 10 to1 against Hopedale and a loss for Wayland against Medway 12-1. It's a shot down the line, but it's foul. So ball and two strikes. >> Here comes >> swing and a miss. >> Strike three. >> He went way upstairs with that fast ball. >> First strike out for Bradica. And out number one. >> Lucas Kulie will dig in. second baseman today. He takes ball. >> One out. Swing and a miss. He was way late on that fast ball. So 1-1 count from Bradica. It's a shot into center field and it drops for a
014base hit. It's down in front of McCoy. So the first hit >> against Bradica along Lucas Culie and a one out single here for Whan. >> That was a very smooth swing right there. >> Was smooth. Really, >> really good hit down the line there. >> So, here comes the pitcher. >> Bats lefty, throws righty. Cooper McFarland. Back to first base goes It's >> another throw over there. >> Ratica likes to keep an eye on his runners. It's one thing you notice when you watch him pitch. Hard pitcher to steal off of. >> First pitch to McFarland. Runners going. Posala's throw is high and a good backup there by Clark. But a stolen base for Lucas Culie. >> No balls, one strike for >> other way around. Other way around. One ball. One ball. No
015strikes. They called that pitch high there. He tries to bunt it. Popped up. Posala makes the catch. >> Great awareness. So, a failed bunt. >> Second time they failed to bunt in this one. >> So, now there's two outs. Owen Harrington digs in. >> Great job by Posa to rip the mask off there. Make the catch as Bradica steps off. Brad Kick keeping a real good eye on the runners, making sure they don't do anything. >> Here's the pitch. Swing and a miss. Strike one to Harrington. >> That looked like a kind of a half-hearted swing from the batter. >> Yeah, I'm going to lie. >> As Bradica will take another look at the runner at second. Runner on second. Two outs. 01 to Harrington. Here it comes. That's strike two. And he's quickly ahead.
016Nothing and two. 02 from Bradica >> in the dirt, but a good block from Posaqua >> 02. That's a strike. >> Three. >> Got him looking and a couple strikeouts and a scoreless second for Bradica. >> He leaves a man at second. And we head to the bottom of the second. Two nothing Ashland. So, Cooper McFarland will come on for his second inning of work. Gave up a couple runs in the first and Mark Mermlstein be the first to greet him. He's only had five at bats this season. He's one for five. Drove home a run. pitchers looking to bounce back after that big inning from the clockers. >> His team did not help him with any scoring in the second. >> 31 pitch first inning for McFarland. They look to have a quick one
017here. First pitch to Mark is in the dirt. It'll be Merrmlstein, Clark, and Turncliffe. The bottom third >> of this clocker lineup. >> And it's two and0. >> Really struggling with the command right now. >> Yeah, seems to be all over the place. >> Two swing and a miss. Try to swing for the fences there. Came up empty. Two balls and a strike to Mermlstein. >> Foul tips that one back into the mitt and it's two and two. >> Comes a two- two. >> That's outside. Count is full. >> Good eye by Mark there. Not trying to chase anything. Here comes the 3-2. Chops that one to first. The pitcher tries to go get it and the toss is in time. Very nice play there by the first baseman Harrington. The pitcher got to the
018bag to cover. So Mark Merlene's out number one. Grady Clark digs in. 227 on the season so far for Clark. First pitch is a strike. >> Nothing in one. And it's quickly nothing and two. So Clark will need to battle here. Nothing at two. Here it comes. >> Just missed. Almost had a three- pitch strikeout. >> The umpire keeping on with the questionable calls there. >> Yeah, they're awfully close. >> Clark will be in a one-two hole and it's even at two. Call goes his way and now he's back in the count. >> Here's the 2- two >> way upstairs. Full count. So from 0 and2 to three and two for Clark. >> Very good AB right here from Clark. >> Full count. Ground ball chopped to second. charges and that's out number two. So
019back-to-back ground outs to the right side of the infield for the Clockers >> and a good bounce back so far for McFarland. And now he'll face the number nine hitter Austin Turnliffe. >> 263. >> He's got five hits. He's driven in five runs. He's also scored five times. Seems to like that number. >> Two outs, no one aboard. >> That's a high strike. seems to like the high strikes. It's been hitters have to adjust. >> Here's the 01. >> That one hit him. >> Turniff has drilled. It's the first time he's been hit this season. So that'll bring up the top of the lineup again. And Ollie Laro will dig in. He walked his first time up. So started off as a clean inning for McFarland, but a two out hit by pitch will continue
020the inning for the clockers. First pitch to Laro. It's a fly ball into right center. Who wants it? A right fielder will call it off and Dannion makes the play to end the second. The clockers go quietly and they leave a man at first after two. Two nothing. So Chris Bradica back on the mound for his third inning of work. Two scoreless so far. Struck out a couple last inning. What have you thought of him so far? Mitch >> Brada is doing super well. I mean commanding the zone in every good way possible. So, he's going to look to keep on doing that and keep on making the batters. You know, >> in terms of commanding the zone, he's only thrown 22 pitches through two scoreless innings. >> So, look to continue that. He'll face
021the right fielder as that one's upstairs. It's Nico Durantian. So 8 n and one here for the Warriors in their half of the third. >> Here's the one out. >> That's outside. So two balls and no strikes >> 2-1. That's outside or sorry, 20 is at upstairs. So, three balls and no strikes. Might have jinxed him here. Not commanding the zone in this first at bat. >> It's a four pitch walk to lead off the inning. >> Apologize for the jinx there. Right. >> Yeah. If Chris Ba's family sees this, I'm I'm sorry for what I said. We'll see if he can mouse back. >> Noah Horn the DH will bat here. >> Shows B. >> Takes it back. Runner's going. Throw to second and he's safe. >> That looked very close there. >> A
022lot closer than the first time. So that was a strike, but Danny steals second. So runner in scoring position here with nobody out. >> Bad calls time. >> Nothing in one here. >> Shows bun again. He pops straight back out of play. This seems to be a team that likes to lay down the bunt a lot. They haven't done so successfully today. >> You don't want to bunt with two strikes, >> so I'll have to swing away here. >> Nothing in two from Bradica. >> Swing and a miss. >> Threw the fast ball right by him. Third strike out of the afternoon for Bradica. >> Off to a very good start. the top of the lineup. It's back up here for Whan. >> Artonian will bat. He's 0 for one. First pitch from Bradica. Swing
023and a miss. Nothing in one. >> That's outside. >> Ball in one strike. >> That looked right on the line to me from back here. So, One ball, one strike. >> That's upstairs. Two balls in a strike. Comes a two-1 from Bradica. Runner goes posa throw to third is high and it's into left field. Good cut off from Shriber though. >> Runner stays at third. >> Dannian couldn't get up there from third and score. Oh, they're going to say there might have been some interference. They're going to let him score. >> Coach Messer wants to know what up. I >> think he said that Finn Conry blocked the runner from getting up from third base and giving him the chance to score. Coach Messer believes that there was catcher interference with the batter not giving
024Posal Aqua a good throwing lane to third base. >> But nonetheless, >> Whan cuts into the lead. It's two to one. >> Two balls and two strikes. Here he comes. >> That's a fly ball. Popped into shallow right. The second baseman comes out, but Turniff makes the catch. And right gets out number two. >> George Breler, the second baseman or sorry, the third baseman. >> We'll bat here. Two outs. Base is empty. It's a fly ball down the right field line and it's heading into foul territory. >> You got this. It's nothing in one. Nothing in one from Bradica. >> That's upstairs. >> Thought that one was close. >> Yeah, I did. >> Unfortunately, in high school, the umpires aren't always the most accurate as that one's into center field for a base hit. >>
025Almost took the head off Bradica. It's >> another base runner here for Whan with two outs. >> That'll bring in Alban Valdez. >> He's 0 for one so far this afternoon. >> Looking to take advantage of the two out hit there. >> Bradica looking to get out of this inning here. He'll check on the runner breastler at first. Again, >> it's not like the MLB where you only have two throws. Bradica uses as many as he can. >> Try and keep that runner at first. And third time he'll throw over. Wrestler doesn't look too happy about it over there at first base. not able to get much of a lead. >> Lefties have some can have very good pickoff moves. >> Bria steps off the pitches now. >> And Valdez is continuing to wait on
026his first pitch. He'll get it here. And it's strike one. Good fast ball there. Bradica continuing to >> pound the zone right there. >> Comes the 01. That's a foul ball. Bradza had nothing in two. >> Always good to be ahead of the count. You can throw anything here to >> Exactly. >> catch the batter. See what we he gives Valdez here. Runner goes pitches high. Throw to second is in time. A great throw from Pasa Aqua and Breler is gunned down at second. So the top of the third is over, but Whan cuts into the lead. It's two to one. out. It's very quiet. basketball. >> So, Cooper McFarland will come on for his third inning of work here. It'll be Bradica, Shriber, and Conry. McFarland looking to kind of tone down his uh
027pitching command and make it harder for the clockers to get to him. >> So, Cooper McFarland will come for his third inning of >> a scoreless second inning. looking to kind of tone down his pitching, make it harder for >> Brad's 0 for one so far this afternoon. >> And he's ready for the first pitch from McFarland. Here comes >> It's a ground ball to second. Scooped up there by Kulie and is one away. >> So, one pitch, one out for McFarland. >> Striber steps in. >> Shrivever's one for one with that RBI double back in the first. >> Got the scoring started. >> First pitch inside. Dustin off the plate there. away. >> First, >> that's a strike. So, a ball and a strike here. >> Farland has thrown 49 pitches so far. >>
028A quick first out in this inning. Now, >> here's the 1-1. >> That's strike two. And he's ahead of Shrivever one and two. Here comes the one, >> two strike. >> Ah, it's upstairs. >> You >> never know. Two balls, two strikes to >> Shriber. >> That's a hard grounder to shortstop. And it's scooped up by Fay. And a nice scoop there at first by Harrington. And there's two quick outs here. >> So Finn Conry digs in. >> It's one for one with an RBI single back in the first. Ashlin not as patient so far here in the third. >> First pitch. That's a strike. >> Ashland trying to avoid a one, two, three, third. And here comes E1. It's a ground ball to second. Kulie is there for it. And his throw to first
029is in time. And a wicked fast inning for McFarland. He gets the clockers one, two, three. So we head to the fourth. It's two to one. Sounds great, guys. Yep. I even think I got the stream going right now. Really? >> Yeah, we're streaming. We are. Looks pretty good. Yep. Sounds great. Good job. >> Working good, my man. >> Yeah, this guy's good. He's good. Come on, Alvin. Top of the fourth inning. Getting ready to start here. Bratica will be back on the mound here. >> So, Alvin Valdez will lead off. >> He was in the middle of his at bat back in the third when they caught the runner at Breastler ceiling at second. >> So, he'll get a fresh count here. >> Baratica looks to keep the lead for Ashland. Comes the first
030pitch. >> It's a line drive into right field. Turniff on his horse and he'll get there. >> Nice play from Austin Turniff. One pitch, one out for Gratica. >> That was a deep line drive, >> but >> Ashland's outfield has been good. >> Yeah, Turnliff able to make the play there. So, >> he'll take those one pitch outs for sure. The catcher Mikey Johansson will dig in. >> Zof with a strike out and he'll take a pitch a little inside for strike one. He didn't seem very happy with that one. >> Yeah, I wouldn't be either. >> Nothing in one. It's a fly ball into deep left center field. McCloin on his horse. He's not going to get there. And one hops in front of the fence and a good job by McCoy to get
031it in quickly, but a one out double for Mikey Johansson. And Whan has another runner in scoring position here. >> All right. >> Yeah, I was just about to try to get you some feedback. So, >> what she's doing good. What she what what I needed to do is like when she goes out, >> you'll notice let's let's watch a little bit. when she goes out to the field, as soon as they make the catch or whatever, she starts darting back. >> Okay. >> And it's like Lucas will dig in >> on that player because I'll cut like I I like I don't like it when she's in other words, they catch it and immediately she starts paying back left like way too fast. So like just if you follow action, she's doing good in
032the infield. But if they catch or something and she's out there, just just stay on that player. Yeah. Don't worry about it. And follow them and gently start to go back. But I'd rather have her just wait. let the player throw it back in and then I'll cut to here and then you can move back. You know what that makes? >> That's just all it is. >> That's just a very minor thing, but stay on the action there and then go back slow after the play's completely done. >> That's in the dirt. It gets away. The runner will take off and head to third. Bradica is not necessarily struggling with the command here, but seems like it in this at bat. So, and they'll send the infield in here. >> It's a two- count to
033Lucas Culie. 200 swing and a miss. Foul tip that one. >> Two and one for Bratica at strike two. Big spot for a strike out here. >> 2-2 popped up behind the infield. Shriber goes out >> and he makes the catch. A great job by Shriber to get out there from shortstop. >> That's out number two. That's a big out there. >> Brada is now going to look to take advantage of that good out right there. >> Pitcher McFarland will dig in. >> He's 0 for one. First pitch is a strike. >> Nasty breaking ball by Chris there. >> And ahead in the count here. >> 1-1. That's strike two. >> Sorry. It's now 0 and two. Chance to get out of this inning. Scoreless. Leave a runner 90 ft away. >> Nothing at two.
034>> Pop out and it'll head out of play. >> Count say zone two. Still nothing in two here. Here comes swing and a miss. Foul tipped into the mitt and Bratica gets out of the inning. Leaves a runner at third. Middle of the fourth. Two to1 Ashland. chance to get out of this inning. >> Scoreless. >> No, you're good. I was just I didn't I didn't know if you were like >> We can hear everything. We can hear the broadcast going. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, you're good. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. >> All right. >> Don't say no. I'm not Alex, though. >> You know my name. >> Yo, Jojo. He's Jojo now. Bottom of the fourth inning back out to the mound and he'll face Jake to lead it off. >> Five, six, and
035seven of the Ashland lineup. >> Bottom of the fourth inning and the first pitch to Jake Lame is down. >> May lined out to write his first time up. And McFarland's on for his fourth inning of work here. >> Here's the 10. Ground ball to shortstop. Fay makes the play and a throw is in time. A nice sharp throw to first and Lame is out number one. Ian Mccoin will bat with one away. 0 for one and he'll take a strike. >> That That was a nasty breaking ball by McFarland. >> Nothing and one here. just missed. Ball on a strike. >> Was a close one. >> Yep. >> Another close call by the umpire. >> One-1. It's a sharp grounder. Oh, what a play by And he gets up and throws it to first.

Looking for his third straight scoreless. >> Sets the plate. >> 0 for one and it'll take a ball. >> Here's the one out. >> That's a strike. Another breaking ball from McFarland. The count's even at one. 1-1. That's upstairs. Two balls in a strike to Merurmlstein. >> 2-1. Well, that's a shot into right center field. That is down for a base hit. Mark Mermlstein. A sharp single there. A two out base runner for the Glockers. It's a good swing there. >> Gray Clark up to the bat. Wants to take advantage of that single from Mark. >> Ashan looking for some two out magic. Clark's 0
037for one. Here's the first pitch. That's a line drive into right field. That is down for a base hit off the glove of the right fielder. Mermlstein heads for third. He's going to be in there standing up. Backto back singles for the Clockers. It's Mermlstein and Clark and they're on the corners with two out. >> Jumped on the first pitch there. Cloggers with some really good hitting here. Now, Coach Mess has to talk to the umpire for some reason. >> And Cooper Groork is gonna pinch in here. Big Coupe coming up to the dish as we'll get a meeting on the mound here from Wayland. It's a big at bat for Cooper Groork. He's only had one at bat on the season. A hit could uh get some insurance here for Ashlan. >> So Groorg
038will bat in this spot. Boston Turncliffe after a single from Merlstein and a single from Clark. >> Big spot for Groork against McFarland. Cooper verse Cooper. Swing and a miss. >> Cooper Gork looking to swing for the fences there. First pitch. >> Here's the 01. That's upstairs. Ball to strike. >> Big AV right here. >> Cooper McFarland vers Cooper Groork. One ball, one strike. Here comes ground ball, third base. Nice play there. And the throw is in time. Wrestler gets it over and the inning is over. Two to one Ashlan after four. I regret TV. My birthday. top of the fifth inning as Chris Bratica will come back to the mound. Four innings, one run, four strikeouts on 53 pitches. >> First pitch is just outside. First baseman Owen Harrington will lead it off. 7,
039eight, and nine do up here for the Warriors. Here's the one out. It's a strike. >> That kind of looked like the exact same pitch he just threw the first pitch, but >> inconsistent. One and one line drive just foul. Diving effort by Laro. See somersaults into foul territory. And a ball and two strikes here to Harrington. >> One, two. That one outside. Two and two. >> Two balls and two strikes from Bradica. That's high. A full count here to the leadoff man. >> 3-2. >> Just missed. Chris thinks it's a strike >> and the all the Ashland bench believes that was strike three as well as do I think that was a strike there. >> Yeah, me too. That the umpire is kind of inconsistent, but >> Harrington will take it. He's on base.
040They're going to show bunt and he is Oh, he is safe. That was close. Bradica almost had his first pickoff of the game. >> Nico Dannian leads off or sorry, not leads off. He walked his first time up. >> Another pickoff. Harrington's back in safely. Good. Third straight pickoff attempt of Harrington at first. >> Bradica again keeping the runners right where they need to be. >> Dannian still waiting for his first pitch and he'll take time. First pitch, swing and a miss. He was late on a fast ball there. >> Ratica continuing to demand with his fast ball. >> Here comes the 01 and it won't happen. A fourth pickoff attempt from Baratica. How many pickoffs do you think Brada has had this game? >> Too many to count. Need more than my two hands.
041>> 01 is chopped to short. Shriber charges. He'll look to first. He'll throw and the runner is safe. >> An infield single for Dannian and he's on base for the second time. Still a great job by Michael Shriber though. >> Just didn't get in in time. >> So the first two get on against Bradica here and Noah Horn the DH will dig in. 0 for one so far. Bradica needs some quick outs here as he'll step off. He will step off again. >> Horn still waiting for his first pitch. Here it comes. He'll lay down a bunt. It's a good one. Laro will scoop it. He'll toss it to first and he's safe. >> The coaching staff of Ashland can't believe it. >> Ano, I'm sorry, Noah Horn reaches. Laro just kind of tossed that
042one straight up in the air there and it was a bit high for Clark and he stepped off the base. >> Yeah, Ali Laro. I I think he should have just thrown it regularly. Got the batter out but decides to kind of rainbow it to first base. >> So now the top of the lineup with the bases loaded. >> Jack Hartinen He's 0 for two. >> The tying run 90 ft away. Go ahead run at second. Nowhere to put him. >> Needs some good at bats here. >> First pitch. >> That's upstairs. One ball, no strikes. Here comes. He went around. Tried to hold back his swing on pitch in the dirt and it's one and one. One ball, one strike. >> Strike two. Good fast ball. >> Bradica again with the command just pounding
043the zone. >> Ahead. One and two. >> Here comes. That's a shot into right. Turn. Cliff goes back. He makes the catch. Runner will tag and score. The runner from second gets to third. And a sack fly ties the game at two. >> Well, might have been the best case scenario in terms of a ball put in play. >> You get an out. put pitch runner here for for Horn. They'll take out Horn and they'll bring in the pinch runner. Pivots. >> Do you think that's true? >> Owen Kawahada is the pinch runner. >> So he'll take out Horn. >> On the corners, one out. And that's ball one. >> George Breler at the plate. He's one for two. Bradica looking to keep the game tied. That's a ground ball. Sliding stop by Clark. They
044get one. The throw to first in time. What a play. A double play to get out of the inning. >> An amazing play by the Ashland defense there. Clark had a diving stop and a toss to Shriber who threw a bullet to first for the double play. >> They go 463 for the out. The outs we go to the bottom of the fifth. It's tied at two. Maybe they don't So, McFarland will come on for for his fifth inning of work. >> Top of the lineup here. One, two, three for the Ashlin Clockers. Looking to take advantage of that double play from ending of the last inning. Farland has yet to strike anyone out. They'll face Laro, Bradica, and Shriber. Ali Laro 0 for one. He has walked and scored in this one. >> We
045are all knotted up here as we reach the later innings in this one. First pitch that hit him right off his back and Olly Laro has been hit for the seventh time this season. Chris Bradica steps to the plate looking to take advantage of that hit by pitch >> and he'll take ball one. >> Bradica's 0 for two. He's flown out and grounded out. >> But a runner on first. Laro is going. No, he is not. He faked it there as Bradica took a strike. So, it's one and one. >> One ball, one strike. That's upstairs. Two and one. >> Three and one. >> Laro is trying to bluff a steal over there at first base. Trying to get in the head with a pitcher and catcher. >> Well, it sure seems like he's doing
046it right now. >> 3-1 ball four. The first two have reached for Ashlin here. A hit by pitch and a walk. Good spot for Michael Shriber who steps up to the plate. >> Shriber's one for two. He's hit an RBI double and scored. >> Laro at second. Bratica at first. First pitch to Striber upstairs. >> A big chance for the Clockers take the lead once again after letting Whan tie it last inning. Here's the one to Shriber. >> That's a strike. One and one. >> Good pitch by McFarland there. >> One ball, one strike. Swing and a miss. Shriber was late. So ball and two strikes again. McFarland has not struck out anyone yet this Ashland lineup. But ahead here, one and two on Shriber. >> McFarland steps off the pitch of mount. >> Vinn
047Conry on deck. One, two. Ground ball to third. Oh, it's off the glove. He throws to second. Not in time. The third baseman Breler had trouble with the ground ball >> and tried to get the out at second, but Bratica got in there. >> Big spot for Finn Connory who steps up to play. >> Bases are loaded. Connory's one for two with an RBI single. The Ashland bench gets on their feet infield in here. >> Nowhere to put Connory. >> It could give him the lead. That's a ball. >> McFarland at 78 pitches here in the fifth. >> 10. That's a strike. Off speed drops in there. Big big at bat here as McFarland will step off. >> 1-1. That's upstairs. >> And it's two and one. >> Ben Connory with a great job of
048keeping the bat back. Three balls and one strike. Jake Lameé lurks on deck. A walk would force home the go-ahead run. Three balls, one strike. He pumps it in there and the count is full. >> It's a big pitch here >> for McFarland. Three balls, two strikes. Here comes >> fly ball into right. >> Heading back and Danny makes the catch. Here comes Laro. He will tag and score and Ashland takes the lead right back. It's three to two. >> That's about the best hit you could ask for there by Finn. Jake Lame digs in, takes a strike. >> MSO for two. >> Bratica and Shriber did not tag on that fly ball, so they remain at first and second. Here's the 01. That's just outside. And it's one and one. >> You'd love to
049get more than one run here to have a little bit of a cushion for Bratica. 1-1. That's a shot into center. Valdez goes back and he makes the catch. A really nice running grab by Valdez in center. And there's two away. >> So two on and two out for Ian McCoy. >> 0 for two this afternoon. >> First pitch is fouled back. Most likely the last inning we see of McFarland up to 87 pitches here. So, he's pitched quite a bit. That's low >> and continuing to um struggle a little bit with his pitching. It's a one-1 count here to McCoy. >> Drops in a strike. Good off speed and it's one and two. >> Coin has to protect here. One and two. They throw back to second, but the throw is a little wide.
050Bradica's back in there. That's outside. Two and two. >> Mark Mermolstein would be next. >> Ian looking to come through. Two-2 >> ball three. The count is full. We'll >> see if they send the runners here with two outs and a full count. >> Oh, they're going to throw back to second. And Bradica's back in there. Close one. So McFarland kind of finally like taking the runners out. Bradic has done it all game. 3-2 runners go. That's ball four. >> Awfully close ball four there. The bases are reloaded here. Mark Merkelstein will dig in. >> That's yet another close call. >> Merlstein is one for two with a single. >> Bradica at third, Shriber at second, McCoy at first, two outs. First pitch is ball one. Here's the one swing and a miss as a
051high fast ball gets by Merlstein. >> 3-2 Ashlin has the lead. >> Here's the 1-1 at strike two. Drops in the off speed. And now Mermcy needs to protect here with two strikes. >> One ball, two strikes. Swing and a miss. >> McFarland's first strike out of the afternoon leaves the bases loaded in the fifth. We head to the sixth, but Ashlin regains the lead. Top of the sixth inning and Bradica will come out for another inning of work. >> Two runs through five innings. Four strikeouts for Bradica and he does have the lead here. 32 clockers. It'll get Valdez, >> Johansson, and Kulie the three to face him here. >> Is 0 for two so far this afternoon. playing out in center field. >> Brao with a very strong performance so far. >> He's
052only had 68 pitches, too. >> It is the first one to Valdez and it's popped straight up. Who wants it? Posa calls for it and he can't make the catch. >> Those catch-ups or those popups to the catcher often tough to get. >> Yeah. So Valdez locks out. >> Nothing in one count. >> Here's the 01. >> Just missed. >> One and one. Another close one. Yeah, I think the umpire has as many close calls as Chris Bra has stepped off off of the >> Valdez will pop it up this time in play. Shrivever wants it. Shielding himself from the sun. He makes the catch and a quick out number one here for Bratica. >> Yeah, those popups in the sun are tough to get. So, great job by Shriber. Mikey Johansson bats next and
053he'll pop it up into center. McCoy will shield his his eyes from the sun and he drops it off his glove. They're sending the runner to second and he slides in safely. >> It is bright out this afternoon and McCoy just couldn't see it even with the glasses. So, an error there out in center. It's unfortunate. Instead of two quick outs, you got a runner in scoring position here. That's the tying run >> as Logan Culie or sorry, Lucas Kulie will bat next. He's one for two. Here's the first pitch from Bradica. That one's fouled off of Posal Aqua. He's in some pain back there. Catchers have a really tough job in baseball trying to, you know, keep the pitcher going and also, you know, getting those tough hits back to the catcher once in
054a while. >> Yeah, he seems like he's going to be okay. And >> it looks like he'll shake it off. >> He gets a round of applause. >> There's nothing in one count to Culie. I think I just heard the batter say I'm sorry to Pasa Aqua. >> Something you don't see in baseball every day. >> Some good sportsmanship there. >> So nothing in one from Bradica to That one's low and away. >> So, one ball, one strike. >> Bra calls time. >> Here's the pitch. That's upstairs. >> Two balls in a strike here. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Pick up a headphone or something. >> Oh, I You know what? I'm not hearing anything out of this. I could not get audio. >> Two and one. Ground ball to third. Charged there by Connor. throw
055gets by Laro. Whan's going to tie it up as the ball gets out of play. It's three to three. We can >> hear a second. So the game is tied on an errant throw from third. Second error of the inning. >> Won't be an earn run for Bradica and gets down to second for Cooper McFarland who takes a strike. >> Good breaking ball by Chris again. Nothing in one. >> That's a rocket to second. Oh, what a scoop there by Clark. And the throw to first is in time. >> Brady with two good plays so far. Down to third goes >> But there is two outs here. And Owen Harrington will dig in. >> Put pinch runner here for for Horn. They'll take out Horn and they'll bring in the pinch runner. >> Do you
056think that's true? >> Owen Kawahada is the pincher runner. Nothing and one from Bradica. Here it comes. That's upstairs. >> So, a hit could give Whan the lead. >> They have not led at all today. That's upstairs. Two and one. Ratica has thrown 81 pitches >> behind the count. Two and one to Harrington. Here it comes. Three and one. He's missing the zone here. >> Struggling to command. Three and one. Come on. >> Three balls, one strike. Foul tipped into the mitt. The count is full. >> Brad Cub will take definitely take that for sure. >> Three balls, two strikes, two outs. That's popped up, out of play. >> All the way on to the football field. Three balls, two strikes again. >> That's strike three. Harrington can't believe it. Another questionable call, but it
057goes the clocker's way and retires the side, but Whan ties it up again. It's three to three as we go to the bottom of the sixth. Well, you don't have to That's how you do it with camera like a DSLR soak. Don't do that. Ray Clark steps up to the plate and it looks like it'll be 8 N and one this to start out the inning. >> And McFarland will continue on the mound. First pitch to Clark and is a popup straight back and it's just off the glove of the catcher Johansson. Just missed it. >> Feel like this is kind of a questionable move by Whan to keep McFarland in, but we'll see how it pans out. >> Yeah, he's already at believe 90 pitches. 01 to Clark. Swinging a miss. >> Chasing there.
058>> 98 pitches he has thrown into the sixth. Head nothing at two. That's a shot there by Clark into center and it gets down. Clark will hold up at first. Good attempt out in center by Valdez. But Clark has a 28 afternoon. >> Another long single by the Clockers. >> They'll take those. >> Okay. >> Oh, that one was way upstairs. Turn Cliff tried to show Bun. Not close. and Clark will take 90 ft and head to second. Again, a little questionable here with McFarland now at 100 pitches. >> Here comes the one out. Time called. One out. Turniff will show the bunt. He'll lay it down back to the mound. Clark will get to third. McFarland's throw to first is in time, but a good sacrifice bunt from Turnliffe. And Clark is at third
059with one away. >> Ali Leo steps up to the plate. Coach Messer preaches the ability to bunt. And a good job by Turnliff there. >> They only need one run. >> Laro will take a strike. Wow. Laro could not believe it. Neither could coach Messer. >> A lot of that. >> That looked like it was down the dirt. >> It did. It hit the dirt. Laro is walked and he's also been hit by a pitch again. 0 and one infield in here and Laro will pop it up into left. They settle it and make the catch. Here comes Clark. He's coming to the plate. The throw not in time. >> The ball came loose >> and Clark gets in there. Mikey, >> a great slide from Clark. >> Wow. >> About as exciting a sack
060fly can get there. >> Yeah. And it looked like if the ball was held on to, it could have been out and out there, >> but the slide forced the ball loose. So, two outs and bases empty for Brad, who takes ball one. >> So, now Ashland will have a chance to close it out in the seventh. >> That's a ball. Two and out. Two balls, no strike. Sabratica. That's a strike. Another another high pitch called for a strike there. Seen quite a few of them this afternoon. It's been hard to locate the zone that this umpire uses. It's been all over the place. As Bratica smokes it, just foul >> and the count is two and two. The umpire seems to kind of give pitchers and give pitchers a strike every now and then.
061Seems >> awfully generous. So, two balls and two strikes to Bratica. He'll ground that one foul and we'll do it again. >> Bradica again with the couple foul balls trying to keep on keep fighting. in that his at bats. >> 109th pitch is a line drive into left. It'll drop for a base hit. Chris Bratica continues to hit and he's on base >> for Michael Shriber. >> Shriber's one for three with that RBI double. This is going to be the hundth 10th pitch for McFarland. >> That's a strike. >> Nothing and one here. Oh, a rocket down the line. And it's nothing and two. He was out in front. line drive into center field. It'll hang up there for Valdez who makes the catch to retire and end the inning. We go to the last
062inning, the seventh. 43 Ashland. Is it oil? Michael Shriber. He'll come on for the save. Making his fifth appearance. He's 0 and1 with a 233 RA, but he does already have one save on the season. And he'll look for another one here. He struck out seven batters in six innings of work. Only walked one. This is a big big opportunity here. Chance for the Clockers to get to five and three on the year. >> So at the bottom of the lineup, Nico Durantian will lead it off. >> One for one. He's walked and scored. Here's the first pitch inside from Shriber. >> One out. is a strike. >> It'll be Dannian Horn and then the top >> 1-1 at a strike. A little off speed there. Strive ahead. One and two. >> Great VO from
063Strive. >> Here comes. That's a popup pass second. Oh, it drops. McCoy couldn't see it. That's the second time he's had trouble with the sun this afternoon. And that's a gift for Whan. The leadoff man reaches as coach Messer wants time. It looks like they're going to bring out Grumbum. So that's another error for the Clockers. Their fourth error of the game and they still have the lead. So Grumbum will take over at second base for McCoy. Tying run at first with nobody out. Here comes Noah Horn to the plate. He's one for two. Did strike out once against Bradica. >> First pitch, runner goes. That's a strike and Pasalqua has no throw. Stolen base for Dannian. >> Batter showed bunt there, but >> now the tying run in scoring position. >> Nothing and one
064and Shriber will step off. top of the lineup next >> and Horn wanted time there. Messer thinks that one was late. Nothing in one here to the nine hitter. That's low and it's one and one. >> One ball, one strike from Shriber to Horn. >> That one's in the dirt. Runners going to head for third. Posalqua's throw is offline and late and the tying run is 90 ft away with nobody out. Big spot for the Warriors here. Looking to maybe tie up the game, get a few runs here. >> So, two and one. Show bunt. Oh, high called strike. It's two and two. This would be big to get a strike out here. Infield in for Ashland trying to prevent that tying run from scoring. 2-2. Ground ball to third. Nice play there by Clark.
065The throw to first is in time. And the runner at third has to hold up. Shriber gets out number one. A nice play to keep it in front there by Clark. >> But now the top of the lineup. Jack Artunian is 0 for two. >> He'll take a strike. >> Infield remains in for the Clockers. >> 01 shot foul. One more. >> Nothing in two. Zahartin. >> And here it comes. Strike three >> on a pitch that hit the dirt. >> It's strike three and there's two down. And the third the head coach for Whan is not happy about that strike three call. Neither was the batter. And there's two away. Line drive into right and the game is tied. Just outside the reach of Grumbum and Breler comes through. A two out single. And
066it's four- four. >> They're going to pinch run for Breastler. Here's the pitch. Runner goes. Posa Lock will throw. It is a wide and errant throw. >> That's a stolen base. Good job by Finn Connory though to keep the keep the ball from getting to the outfield. It's Tommy Fay with a stolen base. That's outside. Two balls. No strikes. So now the go-ahead run in scoring position here for the Warriors. The error comes back to bite once again for the clockers and it's 3 and 0 here to Alvin Valdez. 0 for three so far this afternoon, but ahead three and 0 here and that's a strike. >> Valdez does not agree. He was about to flip the bat and walk to first, but instead it's three and one. >> Umpire with a very hard strike
067zone here. >> That one fouled away and the count is full. >> So from 3 0 to 32 Ashlin will try to win it with a walk-off. >> 3-2 upstairs and that's ball four. Another base runner here for Wayland. >> The inning continues for Mikey Johansson, the catcher. Runners on first and second with two away. >> Mike versus Mike now. >> First pitch. That's way inside. Made him duck. And the count's one to know. Here's the one. >> That's a strike. Good pitch there from >> Shriber. >> Here's a 1-1 swing and a miss. Wicked late on that fast ball. You got this. >> Need another one like that. >> Try to get out of this inning alive. >> One, two, runner goes popped up out of play as it heads on to the turf.
068Conry Lameé and McCoy are the three do up for Ashland in their half of the seventh and hopefully only need one run to win as Shriber will step off. >> One ball, two strikes. Here it comes >> upstairs. Good grab by Posal Aqua and it's two balls, two strikes. >> Shriber looking for the strike out here. >> Two on, two out. Two balls, two strikes. Here it comes. Swinging a miss. The foul tipped it into the mitt and Shriber will get out of the top of the seventh jam, but he does give up the run after the error. So, we go to the bottom of the seventh. 44 Ashland trying to get their first win at home via a walk-off. No, you want to hop So Owen Harrington will pitch here for Whan. and Max
069Burkowitz will take his place at first base. It will be Conry Lame and McCoy, the first three to see him. Actually, never mind. Jared Grumbum will take the place of McCoy. So, it'll be Conry Lame and Grumbum. And Mermlstein will be the fourth batter if necessary. They only need one run. >> 44 game. It's been back and forth. Ashlin hasn't trailed, but they have allowed Whan to tie it a few times. >> So, Harington is a lefty. Conry also is a lefty, so a little bit tougher in a lefty lefty situation for Conry. Cony's had a nice afternoon, though. He's one for two. He's also driven in a couple runs. Two of the four for Ashlin have come from him. >> Left team lefty matchups are tough. you know, it's very hard to um kind
070of read the ball because it's like the same you're facing the same way. So, >> 100% definitely. >> I never love those righty riding matchups at all. >> And here we go. Clockers have scored a run in each of the last two innings. Wayland has scored a run each of the last three innings. Each with six hits a piece. Ashlin has committed four errors. Only one for Wayland. You are nodded at four. >> Way looking to get the advantage from the umpire here. First pitch >> is ball one. >> Here comes the one. Two and0 out. >> Two close pitches. There goes the way of the clockers. >> Two balls, no strikes. That's a strike. Two and one. umpire finally calling a strike. Those were the first two were kind of questionable but >> 2-1
071inside three and one. >> This is big if they can lead off with a walk. >> Very patient at bat so far from Connory. 3-1. That's a strike right down the dish and he'll have to protect in a full count. Jake Lame waits on deck. Three balls and two strikes from Harrington to Conry. That's ball four. That pitch was low. The leadoff man reaches on a walk and that is the winning run at first base. You do have a lefty on the mound so it's easier for them to pick off so you have to watch out if you're Conry at first. Jake Lame at the dish. 0 for three this afternoon. And he's hit the ball hard a couple times. He'll take ball one. >> Pitcher getting a clear eye of first base. >> 10.
072Swinging a miss. Fast ball by Lame. One and one. >> A little late there, but >> a little bit. One ball, one strike, and he'll throw to first. Conres back in there. >> Here comes the 1-1. Foul tipped into the mitt and it's one and two. So Harrington ahead as Grumbum waits on deck. Connory on first. Here comes the one-two. It's a ground ball into center field. That's a base hit by the dive of the shortstop Fay. And the first two have reached against Harrington. A walk and a single. >> A great spot for Jared here. runs on first and second >> and a kid who's been struggling at the plate. 136 so far, 3 for 22 on the season, but has a chance to write his wrongs here. A hit could win it. Connory
073has some speed there at second. Lame just snuck that one under the dive of Fay. >> There's nobody out here. >> Big spot for Grumbum. Here comes the first pitch. He shows bunt and it's outside. >> They go back to second does Joe Hansen. And back in there standing is Conry. >> So, one ball, no strikes. Here comes Grumbump shows bunt again and that pitch is high. Two balls and no strikes and the catcher Mikey Johansson wants to talk it over really quick with Harrington. Third base Breastler joins as well. >> Two balls, no strikes. >> Two on. Two to Grumbum shows bunt again and that's a strike. He pulled it back but a strike anyways. Two balls, one strike. >> Conry at second. Lame at first. Scrum shows punt again and he pops it
074up. So, two balls, two strikes. No longer a bunting situation here for Grumbum. You don't bunt with two strikes. So, need to swing it here. Two balls, two strikes. Here comes. That's outside and a full count. Murmurstein waits on deck. 32. The Ashland bench gets up and time called as the wind swirls down here. Ashland is 0 and3 at home this season. Chance for their first win to be a walk-off. Three balls, two strikes. foul tipped it and he just missed it. The catcher Johansson. A very close one and Jared is lucky to stay alive will have another 32 offering from Harrington. Here it comes. Ground ball second. Oh, what a play there to keep it in the infield by But an infield hit for Jared Grumbum. And the bases are loaded for Mark Mermlstein.
075Guy who started the year injured here in his senior season. >> But a great job by Culie there to corral it at second and keep it from going into the outfield. If that one hit the grass, Conry would have scored the winning run. as coach Messi Marky Mark and the funky bunch. >> So another lefty lefty at bat here for Harington. Actually looks like they might be making a change. actually going to go with the extra infielder here. >> So, they're going to go five infielders to try to minimize the chances of a ball sneaking through. So, they'll sacrifice an outfielder. So, they'll only have two remaining outfielders, Dannion and Valdez, as their left fielder comes in. and plays up the middle. First pitch to Mermlstein. Fly ball into center field. Back goes Valdez to
076tag is Conry. Here he comes. The throw is cut off and the Clockers walk it off. A sack fly for Merblestein. Gets the job done and the Clockers have their first home win of the season. >> Five to four the final score. A thriller here by by Ashlin. >> All he needed was a fly ball on the first pitch and that is the game. So the Clockers are now five and three on the season. Whan the Warriors fall to three and six, but a huge win for Ashland. They'll be back in action on Monday as they travel to Denim and then Westwood on th or sorry, Wednesday. Westwood on Wednesday on the road and then they'll be home against Norton on Thursday. But a big win for the Clockers here. It was a pleasure to
077call with Mitchell Gordon. I appreciate you being here and we'll see you very soon. >> Yep. It was a great great game calling with you. I appreciate you having me here. >> You you did awesome as did the Clockers. The final score from Ashlin Middle School is the Clockers five. The Warriors 4. Thanks for joining us on WA TV. We'll see you next time.
