[Mr. Baseball]

Hazard did not hit well but one of the biggest reasons this was a close game was because of the field. I HATE WHEN PEOPLE MAKE EXCUSES, but that field was not fit for baseball. How many times did the ball just die in the infield because of the high grass? I mean HIGH GRASS. Bath County struck out more and hit more fly balls than Hazard but the Dogs hit the ball on the ground. The HIGH GRASS soaked it up and literally the ball stopped rolling on a couple of occasions. The dandelions were 6 inches tall in front of first base and the outfield was thick also. If these teams play 20 times, Hazard wins 19 of them but Hazard overlooked Bath County going into the game because of their record. Bad mistake. Bath won it because Hazard did not come ready to play...they had already punched their ticket to Applebee's when they found out they would not be playing Raceland or Fairview.
