Howdy Pitchers;
It didn’t
look to good for today’s Brunswick Stew Tournament but
the weather was perfect right up until the last game of the last class to
finish. It came a brief shower that delayed that game for about 15 minutes.
Thanks to the Golden Isles Horseshoe club for all of
the hard work they put in getting ready for the tournament.
We had 19
brave pitchers that came out to pitch in the tournament and we appreciate their
support.
In the
Championship Class Dan had one small hiccup on his way to the Tournament
Champion Title. Dan pitched a red-hot 50% but Ron Cloutier countered with a
52.5% to hand Dan his only loss of the day in their matchup. After that game
the rest of the field took turns beating up on each other and at the end there
were three pitchers tied for 2nd Place. Marcus took 2nd
Place by being closest to his starting average and Jim McElveen
took 3rd Place over Ron by .01% in the Tiebreaker talk about winning
by a whisker.
In Class A
Chuck Poole lost his first game to Ronnie Miller and then hit cruise control to
win his remaining games. The game of this class was The Chuck Poole/Don
Hutchens Battle. With six shoes to go Chuck was up by 1 point on the next two
shoes both pitchers tossed a double ringer for four dead. On the next two shoes
Don took 2 points to take a 1 point lead. Chuck who
never seems to get rattled came right back and scored 2 points to take the win
and the Class A Championship. Joe Fry and Ronnie battled to a tie in their head
to head match and at the end of the day they also had identical records and Joe
took 2nd Place on the Over Average tie breaker. Ronnie wound up in 3rd
Place.
Class B saw a
battle between Bryan and Brian for the Top spot. Bryan Strong has been
improving each tournament and Brian Little had an Awesome first tournament of
the year today. Bryan Strong was just too Hot to Handle today as he marched to
the Class B Championship with a perfect 5 and 0 record. Brian Little survived a logjam tied for 2nd Place
to take the 2nd Spot. Brian Little was tied with Howard Hawes and
Forrest Thomas with 3 and 2 records but with the highest Over Average he took 2nd
Place followed by Howard in 3rd Place. Bryan Strong survived two
games with one point victories and one game with a two
point victory. Talk about nerves of Steel.
Be sure and
Check out the Rookie of the Year and Big Dog Standings. In the Rookie of the
Year chase the Top six pitchers are separated by just 10 points and the Top
four by just 5 points. It looks to be a Great Race this year.
Next Week we
are at Lawrenceville for the Iris Sandham Memorial
and at Warner Robins for the Warner Robins Open. I hope everyone can make one
or the other. Sign in by 9:30 AM pitching starts at 10:00 AM.
Thanks
Ronnie
