Hey Cotty Whatcha doin?

A couple years ago we (Indian Creek) were one game away from a matchup with Warren. We ended up losing to Dover in the district. They had Percy Garner on the mound. He was clocked at 94. Don't see many of them fastballs in the regular season. We lost 5-4. One costly error by our pitcher on a sac bunt killed us and gave up two runs.
My soph year as a player we were 26-0 going into the regional finals (back then we were Wintersville HS... later consolidated with Mingo to make Indian Creek). We lost to Austintown Fitch who was like 12-11 or something like that. We had a down day and they played their asses off. Our starting nine was 8 seniors and me. We were stacked. Of the 8 seniors, 6 went division I. We had players go to Ball State (OF), Wright State (P), Penn State (P), Mercer (OF), The Citadel (1B), and Akron (OF). Then I made it to Akron (3B), so that made 7 division 1 players on one team. It was just one of them lucky cycles that we hit with some really good players.
That's why I think, once you get beyond the sectionals, games should be best of 3. No way to do it in sectionals with so many teams, but I think it could be done from the districts and on. The way it is now, if you have one stud pitcher you can cruis to the regional finals.
The previous summer in legion ball for Steubenville we were one out away from going to the Legion World Series. We had beat Ashtabula to win the State Title in Athens then lost to Wisconsin in the Great Lakes Regional final in Illinois. That was a heartbreaker. We had the lead going into the bottom of the 9th and they put together a solid inning and won in walk off style. One more out and we would have gone to Tacoma, Washington for the World Series.

I should add that that regional final team had two other really good players on it. A player from Edison that went to Ohio State then was draftee by the Indians. And a player from Steubenvile Central that went to Kent and was drafted by the Cardinals.
