Lawrence County and LCC had a great game end with a terrible call at the end. I hated to see these kids play that hard have maybe the worst call in a high school game I've ever seen. Lawrence County was starting 2 7th grades and no Jrs or Srs in the lineup either. Lawrence Co future looks bright. Congrats on a great season so far to LCC and good luck the rest of the way.

On that play, I was told this is what happened:

LCC had bases loaded, 1 out, down 4 runs. Line drive to RF. Runner on 3B and 2B score, runner on 1B hesitated and the Lawrence County RF played it on a hop and threw a strike to second base. The SS stretched like a first baseman, getting the force out.....or so everyone thought. That would have been 2 outs, runner on first, and Lawrence up 2 runs. Instead, the umpire didn't call it a force out, refused to change his call, and the game continued until 3 more runs pushed across.

I guess my question is how umpires can sleep at night when making calls like this that affect young kids who are being taught to handle things like men? Even when it's obvious something fishy is going on......:HitWall:


As for Lawrence County, they have been forced to play guys that should be playing middle school or JV this year because of injuries and have exceeded expectations. They started two freshman, two 7th graders on the infield. A sophomore catcher. Two sophomore OF's and ZERO seniors on defense this year. Not to mention their pitching is also NO SENIORS. They will return 100% of the innings for next year.
