Tournament Finals - Chaparral
7 Johnson City Press 3
Outstanding
team effort allowed Chaparral to prevail in this one. We got our 7
runs on 5 hits and 7 walks but our defense held Press to just 3 runs on 8 hits
and just 2 walks by getting the outs necessary to strand 9 of their runners on
base over 7 innings. It was definitely a team effort as Cody Metcalf
pitched the first 4 innings allowing just 1 unearned run on 4 hits and 1 walk
while striking out 4. Then Taylor Green came on for the 5th and 6th
innings holding Press to just 1 run on 3 hits. Finally, our closer, Billy
Byrd took the hill for the 7th and gave up just 1 run on a hit and a walk
also but got 3 ground balls for the outs we needed to end the Championship
game.
Offensively, we
faced some tough pitching which struck us out 13 times in 6 innings but we
managed two rallies each started by a base hit by Randal Greene.
Both times Taylor Green got big RBI singles. In the 3rd inning we
put up 4 runs on 2 hits and 2 walks. In the 5th it was for 3 runs on those
2 hits and 3 walks.
Defensively, Will
Burton made 3 excellent plays from third base and Marcus Arnett took
away a base hit with a great charge from centerfield on one of his 3 catches.
Tournament Semi-Finals - Chaparral
11 Batters Up 7
Absolutely
excellent come from behind effort by the whole Chaparral Team!!!
We out-hit the men in blue by a count of 10-5. Reggi Smith
was Mr. Clutch at the plate coming through with 2 very big hits for 3
RBIs. Marcus Arnett had a pair of doubles with 2 runs scored.
Gavin Duncan had a hit and 3 runs scored. Cody Metcalf had 2
hits, 2 RBIs, and 2 runs scored. Billy Byrd had a big double and a
single for 3 RBIs, and also scored twice.
Will Burton
pitched the first 4 innings allowing 3 runs (only 1 earned) and he was ON
striking out 7 batters! Taylor Green pitched a perfect 5th
but got in trouble after a trio of defensive errors in the 6th. Winning
Pitcher Billy Byrd was called in and got 3 of 4 batters he faced out to
finish the inning.
As always there's
room for improvement. We spaced out 7 fielding/throwing errors that may
have hurt us bad if it weren't for the offensive heroics in the bottom of the
6th where we were down 7-5, but proceeded to add 6 runs on 3 walks and 3 big
hits that ended up putting us over the 2 hour time limit.

stolen bases, and 4 runs scored.
Game 16 Result - Chaparral
19 East TN Rentals (Bobcats) 4
What
a difference a couple of days makes. Tonight we could do little wrong as
in the bottom of the first inning
we had 7 hits and 3 walks for 11 runs. Marcus Arnett scored 4 times
going 3 for 3 with a pair
of doubles including one that hit the fence. Gavin Duncan also
scored 4 times on a hit and 3 walks. Our team had 10 base hits for the

Game 15 Result - Coca Cola 13
- Chaparral 1
They
had our number tonight.... Congrats to Coke pitcher Jake McIntosh for
holding us to just 3 singles by Randal Greene, Cody Metcalf, and Billy
Byrd. In the field we simply struggled to make outs and Coke hit
several balls where they had to go for base hits.
Will Burton
took the loss going 3 innings with most of the runs surrendered being
unearned. Marcus Arnett came on to pitch the 4th, and Billy Byrd
closed out the 5th before the run rule ended the game after our turn at bat.

American Screen Design 6
Thanks again to Thad
Cole, who again allowed us to start a legal game and finish with 8
players.

Game 13 Result - Chaparral 9 McLeod
4
Thanks to Thaddeus
Cole, we were able to start with 9 players and finish strong with 8.
After Tuesday night's rain after just 3 batters, 3 of our players left town
Wednesday morning and without Thad there would have been no make-up game
Wednesday night.
And strong we were
in the bottom of the 4th inning where we made the most of 3 hits (big doubles by
Marcus Arnett and Billy Byrd, and a single by Cody Metcalf), 3 walks, and 2
errors on our way to sending 10 batters to the plate in spite of two automatic
outs when the 9th spot came around. Billy Byrd had half our hits
with a double and a single.
Defensively, the
strikeout was our weapon of choice where starting pitcher Gavin Duncan got 3 in
1 and 1/3 innings and winning pitcher Billy Byrd racked up 9 over 3 and 2/3
innings of relief - (the first two coming with bases loaded when he entered the
game). For the game we had 4 hits vs. 3 for McLeod. We benefited
from 9 walks but gave up 10. We played well in the field, catching a
runner stealing at 2nd and making nice plays from third and short to first for
outs.
Game 12 Result - Chaparral 12 Evergreen
Terrace Apartments 2
On this warm
Saturday afternoon we out-hit Evergreen 6 - 4 and out-received BBs+HPs 8 -
7. The real game difference was fielding errors where we made NONE and
received the benefit of 7. We also gave up only one wild pitch and
one passed ball which also was a key difference. Winning Pitcher Taylor
Green worked 2 and 2/3 striking out 3 with Billy Byrd getting us out of a
bases-loaded tight spot with a key strikeout. Cody Metcalf worked the 4th
and 5th scoreless innings giving up just 1 walk and 1 hit and racking up 3
strikeouts. Cody also led the offense with an RBI double and a single and
scoring all 3 times he batted.
Game 11 Result - Chaparral 11 Bobcats 3
Back to a healthy roster of 12 players, Cody Metcalf led our offense by going
4-for-4 with a triple, 2 doubles, and a single. Will Burton and Randal Greene
each added a pair of singles. Will Burton went the 6 inning complete game
distance with 13 strikeouts and zero, nada, zilch, that is NONE!!!
in the walk category. Great job Will.
Tournament Game 4 Result - Harman Ice 16 Chaparral
9
Down to nine
players with almost everyone hurting somewhere, we showed a lot of heart by
never giving up, but we were outgunned by several Harman base hits that were just
"out of our grasp". On base hits we had 10 and Harman had
13. Bases on balls we gave up 7 and got 5. We had 7 left on base vs.
5 for Harman. Fielding errors we had 1 and they had two. Gavin

Tournament Game 3 Result - Chaparral
16 ASD 7

out close looking like a well played pitcher's duel. But in the 5th and
6th innings our bats erupted with 7 hits and 6 hits respectively. On the
mound Taylor Green went 4
strong innings allowing 3 hits, 2 walks, and 2 unearned runs. Cody Metcalf
pitched the 4th allowing 1 hit and 1 unearned run. Then Reggi Smith

Tournament Game 2 Result - Batters Up
11 Chaparral 7
We fought hard but again we were outdone by our frequent nemesis --- Ball
4... Our two pitchers issued 9 in the second inning and 8 of those
eventually scored which obviously became the deciding factor of the game.
Otherwise, we out-hit Batters Up 6-5 including nice shots to the fence for
triples by Billy Byrd and Taylor Green. Billy also had a single and Randal
Greene laid down a very nice bunt for a base hit. Marcus Arnett dived like
a swimmer off the blocks for a fantastic snag of a ball hit hard to his left
near third base. Cody Metcalf also made a great move back for a catch of a
short fly ball behind 2nd base.
Tournament Game 1 Result - Chaparral 12
Evergreen 11

Byrd, Joe Berry, Zac Campbell, and David Dunn each had 2 hits. Cody

Game 9 Lost by Forfeit to Campbell Morrell Music
4 Players out of town and 1 unaccounted caused us to have only 8 present.
Game 8 Result - Batter's Up 10
Chaparral 7
A tough loss after
getting a 5 run lead in the top of the 1st. After that we faced some
excellent pitching and managed to put up two more runs. Marcus Arnett and
Taylor Green combined with some good pitching of our own, but six fielding and throwing errors simply allowed too many baserunners.
Cody Metcalf led our offense with 2 hits and Taylor Green hit a nice
double. Team hits were 7 for Chaparral and 8 for Batter's Up. In
eight games, we've lost four but this marks the first time we have been out-hit by our opponents.
Game 7 Result - BJ's 10
Chaparral 6
Another full 7
inning contest where base hits matched up even at 7 a piece. Marcus Arnett
led the Chaparral offense with a triple that hit at the base of the fence and a
single. Taylor Green also had two singles.
Gavin Duncan and Taylor Green pitched well enough, but several mental and
throwing errors in the field and one very bad manager made 3rd base coach
decision proved costly.
Game 6 Result - Chaparral 6

Full 7 inning
contest which got very tight at the end. Will Burton pitched a great
complete game yielding only 3 hits and 5 walks. Gavin Duncan came through in the clutch with 2 outs in the

third. Cody Metcalf had 2 of Chaparral's 6 hits with an RBI and a
run scored.

Cody Metcalf was very strong on the mound, holding Harman to just 1 run on 3
hits and 4 walks through 4 innings.
Will Burton led the
offense with 3 hits including a double. Billy Byrd and Cody Metcalf also were on base 3 times
with each earning a pair of hits and a walk. Team batting average for the
game was .409 It's hard to lose when you hit that well.
