Baseball Season Has Started In Mooseville

The Mooseville High Bees baseball team kicks off their spring season tonight with a doubleheader against the Elkton Longhorns in Elkton. The first game starts at 6 p.m. with the second game scheduled to begin at 8. Coaches have yet to say if senior pitcher, Tosh Instinger will play in either game.

Instinger has been recovering from a shoulder injury he suffered during the All-County Championships last fall. The Bees lost the All-County title to the Catnip County Cougars, 11-7. In a recent interview with local reporter, Cindy Scoops, Instinger said the mental anguish of the loss is something he has yet to recover from.

Senior, Tosh Instinger revisits last year's loss at the All-County Championships.

Now that doctors have given the Mooseville High hurler the green light, Instinger says he’s ready to get back on the mound. Instinger has made some big promises for next year, including bringing home the All-County Championship trophy.

Mooseville Bees pitcher, Tosh Instinger makes big promises for next year.

Although Instinger says he’s ready to get back in the game, coaches say they’re not so sure.

“It’s a long road to All-County,” said Bees’ Head Coach, Carl Couch. “We got plenty of boys that need some innings under their belt. Lee Goodenough’s been throwing hard in practice, and Tucker Jenkins, his curve is actually starting to curve. Some of our boys have really been stepping up since Tosh has been out. It’s going to make us stronger as a team.”

Despite Coach Couch’s focus on his team, part of his reluctance to play Instinger is in part because he wants to protect his pitcher’s career after high school.

Head Coach, Carl Couch discusses Instinger's future.

Before Instinger can pursue his baseball options after high school must first get past Elkton’s Longhorns.

More than likely Carlos Santiago will start on the mound for the Longhorns, and senior first baseman, Butch Callister and junior catcher, Gordy Morgie will threaten the Bees with their bats.  

The gate opens at 5:30 and admission is 25 cents for adults. Students get in free.

When you're sitting around some Saturday afternoon watching TV, munching on Cheez-Its, wondering what else there is to do, try playing an old-fashioned game of catch.

An old-fashioned game of catch includes a minimum of two people, each with a softball or baseball glove, throwing a ball of some sorts to one another.

Phils Beat Boston

6/29/2011

The Philadelphia Phillies trounced the Boston Red Sox last night, 5-0 at Citizens Bank Park.

Josh Beckett started for the Red Sox with Cliff Lee hurling for the Phils. Lee pitched a shut-out, allowing only two hits in the nine innings he was on the mound.

In my opinion, Cliff Lee is probably the best opening pitcher in baseball with an ERA of 2.66 and a 9-5 win-loss count, but it was the Phil's bats that lead them to victory last night.

The game remained scoreless until Domonic Brown hit a 2-run home run in the bottom of the second after Beckett hung a fastball over the plate. It's a good thing too because Saturday against Oakland, Brown got booed by the crowd for not hustling to first on a ground ball he had hit, which was bobbled by the A's second basemen, Jemile Weeks.

Brown got things started again when he lead off with a double in the fifth. Chooch advanced Brown to third with a long fly ball to right-center, and then Lee's sacrifice fly brought the score to 3-0.

Shane Victorino hit a 2-run home run in the bottom of the 6th, bringing the final score to 5-0 in favor of the Phils.

All in all the Phils had outstanding pitching and solid bats, putting them one step closer to winning the World Series.
