Zane Trace hit the ball well off of Elliott. They stayed off his curve ball which resulted in the walks.
Great effort by ZT and Wheelersburg. Great tournament games between these two programs. That is why they are considered two of the top programs in Southern Ohio.
Good luck to the Burg on Friday.

Burg Grad77- Very good commentary!
Good luck to Burg. Make some noise and represent S OH well. Hopefully you will end up in the state tournament.
Zane Trace always comes out with a good team. I watched them play Minford early in the year and they looked a little sloppy, but most teams do in their opener. Coach Ron Allen always represents southern Ohio well and is a very good coach. Doesnt hurt that he was a Minford grad
Great job on another strong year to Zane Trace.
Good luck to the Pirates the rest of the way from Minford.

What a game! Even though both teams made some mistakes the game was extremely exciting. Outstanding effort by both teams.

Coach Allen and Coach Estep are both QUALITY MEN!!! Congrats on a fine season to ZT and best of luck to the Pirates bold this afternoon. Remember men, you are on an unfinished mission, make the most of your opportunity today!
Re: Zane Trace vs Wheelersburg
ZT is a much better team than what I saw at Burg early in the season. Hit the fastball really well. Very disciplined in laying off the offspeed stuff since Elliott was getting behind in the count. Elliott struggled through the game without his best stuff but he battled through every inning. A tough kid and well over 100 pitches on the night. He will typically not give up 9 walks in a game nor the type of hard hit balls.
On the other side, Burg hit the ball very well especially early on. Hit the ball hard late in the game just at the ZT fielders.
The Pirates must shore up the defense tonight against a solid IV team. Must play to win, keep the pressure on and put the game away when they get the chance. Late in the game last night it look to me they were playing not to lose. Lack of experience in tight situations can be blamed for that one. Boyer must bring his A game tonight on the mound.
Congrats to ZR on a fine season and Good Luck Pirates tonight againt IV.
