A blog entry by Nick Murray of Nick's brutal loss to Tampa Bay in The 2009 Colt World Series!

Nick came in to attempt to stop the comeback in the bottom of the 7th. A deep fly ball that was nearly caught would have stopped it. He did face one of the top college prospects in the country in Thomas Dorminy (last years national Junior player of the year) who grounded out back to him on the mound. Here's the blog entry. Nick bounced back in a game against Mexico pitching 3 1/3 innings of 2 hit ball until the 7th in a must win game to go on to the medal round . One of our closers finished it for a 4-3 victory!

Scouting report on Dorminy!

Colt baseball: Town and Country rallies for victory


Town and Country rallied back twice before Jimmy Herget drove in the winning run in the bottom of the seventh as it remained undefeated at the PONY Colt World Series with a 4-3 victory against host Lafayette, Ind. on Friday night.

With one out in the seventh, Matt Brandy drew a walk, and advanced to second when Thomas Dorminy grounded out to Lafayette pitcher Nick Stone. Lafayette then walked Juan Fontela intentionally, bringing up Herget, who drove a ball into the left center field gap. Lafayette’s center fielder, who had been playing in to make a throw home in case of a single, got his glove to the ball, but wasn’t able to reel it in, allowing Brandy to score.

“It seems as if on this team whenever we get into a pinch there’s a different boy that steps up and comes through for us,” Town and Country manager John Atkinson said. “Jimmy … did a fantastic job on the mound, let alone what he did at the plate to end the game.”

Herget had come in with two outs in the top of the fifth, and allowed only a pair of walks over 2 1/3 innings to keep TC in the game and earn the victory. Lafayette had taken a 2-0 lead in the first inning, and a 3-2 lead in the fifth off starter Corbin Olmstead.

Town and Country rallied with two outs in the bottom of the sixth to tie the game, as Zach Jackson singled before Chris Mejia doubled down the left field line to bring Jackson home. Atkinson said that while he thought his team had been outplayed by the hosts, he still felt his team would come back to win.

Town and Country will resume play on Sunday when it faces fellow undefeated squad Gurabo, Puerto Rico before rounding out pool play against currently winless Germany on Monday. Both games can be heard online at the IHSAA radio website.

State champs, Indy news

INDIANAPOLIS - Lafayette Central Catholic scored at least three runs in each of the first four innings and beat Vincennes Rivet, 14-1, in Friday’s Class A state championship game.

It was the eighth state championship overall for the school and third in baseball (2004, 2007). The team won its last 10 games of the season, outscored its six tournament foes by a 60-6 margin and plated at least 13 runs in three of those contests. Tim Bordenet, who doubles as the school’s athletic director, has coached all three state championship teams.

The second-ranked Knights (28-4) scored three runs each in the first and second innings then added four in the third and four more in the fourth. Taylor Glaze, who pitched the first five innings, combined with Brett Haan to throw a one-hitter. Glaze (9-0) struck out nine of the 19 batters he faced.

CC’s Austin Munn went 3-for-4, with two RBI and scored three runs. Dru Anthrop, Reed Drysdale, Scott Windler and Cole Hruskovich each tallied two hits with Anthrop and Drysdale knocking in three runs each.

Derek Potter tallied Rivet’s (16-11) lone hit of the game in the third inning when he singled to leftfield. Tyler Vieke added the Patriots’ lone run in the top of the fourth scoring from third on a throwing error. He reached first on a throwing error, moved to second on a walk and took third on a hit by pitch.

Rivet’s Emily Montgomery, believed to be the first female to play in an IHSAA state championship game as part of a boys team, saw two pitches in her only at-bat. She swung and missed on the first and flew out to right on the second.

Vincennes Rivet, coached by Bill Beard, was making its first state finals appearance after winning its first regional and semi-state the last two Saturdays.erdsi
