Yes, locals and promoters are going to make a big thing of it, but that doesn't make it valid.
Yeah, I know what you mean.... but it adds color to the story.

I'll still ice up that beer (from the other discussion board) if it ever gets sent

I had a game like that a few years ago in a HS tournament.

The number 1 HS team in the nation vs the number 3 HS team in the nation.

I realize that nationally ranking HS teams is next to, if not impossible, but it was proabably the most memorable HS softball game I have ever worked.

Just a great game between two very good teams.

Thanks for asking....

My game was good....two teams that had been ranked 1 and 2 in the state all year. Two great pitchers, one of them considered the top HS pitcher in the country, headed to AZ State next year.

Very intense game, about 2500 people watching. 0-0 through 5 innings, only a few baserunners as far as second base. Visiting team (#2 ranked team) gets a runner on (HBP) in the top of the sixth, next batter hits a line drive home run to center field.

In the bottom of the 7th, home team first two batters set down, then they load the bases. Final batter, 3-2 count, called out looking at strike 3.

2-0 final. You can watch the game at the link in my original post in the thread.

COOL

But wait, (as if to prove IRISH's point) - I thought I had the top pitching recruits in the country!!!! Going to ALA and FL (I think)!! LOL

We had a similar exciting game -
I think I'm going through a little let down and depression as I don't have any post season college games so I'm done for now...

(Our local travel ball just ain't the same)

I'll look up your game when I get off work...

My high school post season here in Pa has not yet started. We're in the last week of regular season play.
But my college season continues - with a D2 regional last week and a D2 superregional, as the alternate, this weekend.
And we've got another semi-regular poster here doing the D2 national.
