GHS 8
TR 3

The first three at bats for Travelers Rest loaded the bases, however the next three resulted in outs with the Devil Dogs managing only one run for all their effort. Things remained rather uneventful through the second. The top of the third Steven Wohlrab found his stride striking out two and delivering the third batter the perfect pitch for a fly out. This seemed to spark the entire Red Raider team who turned the third into a big inning for themselves. By taking advantage of two walks and three defensive errors Greenville put three on the board with little effort before their first out. Gray Tollison then launched one out, Homerun with two on to double the runs for the home team! The inning ended with Greenville up 6-1 and runners left on first and third.

The forth inning was calm and quick. The top of the fifth a walk, a single and a hit batter loaded the bases for Travelers Rest.

The sixth inning brought hope as the Timberwolves first batter struck out, the second singled and their turn at the dish ended with a double play. The Red Raiders took a hit batter, a walk, and three hits to post two and leave the bases loaded. You could feel the momentum building and the anxiety of wondering if it would be in time. In the top of the seventh White Knoll felt a touch of deja vu, seeing only four batters and ending in a double play. It was now crunch time for Greenville and they powered up. A defensive error and a double brought in their third run. A walk, a wild pitch and a stolen base and a ground out brought in the tying run. Time for extra innings! In the top of the eighth inning with one out and runners on second and third, White Knoll singled to left field. Cameron Reynolds quickly shot the ball to Miguel Vieira at home to tag out the lead runner; Vieira then flipped the ball to Gray Tollison at third to finish the double play and end the top of the inning. Unfortunately the bottom of the inning held two ground outs and one fly out to end the game for Greenville. White Knoll may have won the tournament for the fourth consecutive year but at least they had to battle extra hard for it!

Red Raiders Battle but are Bested by Byrnes 11-6

On a non baseball like evening in Duncan SC at Brynes High, the Raiders were put into a deep freeze by superb pitching and very unfriendly weather. Senior Rooke Crouch was seemingly the only one unaffected by the weather being perfect at the dish, going 4-4. Crouch doubled in the second and fourth innings and singled in the sixth and seventh, but it wasn't enough to get past the Rebels, as the Raiders lost 11-6 in seven plus frames. The end of the second inning found the Red Raiders up 2-0 thanks in part to four Byrnes strike outs delivered by Steven Wohlrab. The Byrnes Rebels worked to end the third inning in a tie. One word describes the fourth inning: ugly. In the top of the fourth, Crouch’s hit made him the only Greenville play to reach base that inning. Byrnes used the “any way on” method and it worked for nine batters. Cody Mitchell went in to the mound in an attempt to stop the damage. The inning ended four batters later but the seven run damage was done. The Rebels ending the fourth up 9-2. Evan Smith took the mound for the fifth and sixth. In the top of the sixth with two outs and bases loaded Taylor McCuen doubled to center to drive in two runs and put a runner on third. The bottom of the sixth generated some hope with the Rebels going three up – three down for a short side. Unfortunately Greenville was unable to produce in the seventh. Other notable performances include Josh Wright crossing the plate twice. The pitching staff of Wohlrab, Edwards, Mitchell, Smith, and Scolamiero recorded 9k’s and 2 bb’s.Although they battled hard the rest of the game, the Red Raiders just could not overcome the damage done early. Join the Raiders on Tuesday the 21st, when they welcome Laurens High to Grover Reid Field.
But hey, it is still preseason!

Mother Nature Throws a Perfect Game
February 18, 2012
A Beautiful Saturday at Grover Reid Field!

Thank you to all who helped Saturday to get the Home of the Red Raiders ready for the 2012 season. Coach Scolamiero already had the field looking great! Thanks Coach for the inspiration! A fantastic group of parents and coaches worked several hours and their efforts are greatly appreciated! Painting, weed eating, brick and mortar repair, leaf blowing, sweeping and several other talents were used to provide the beautiful results. More improvements are coming, so be sure to watch the field for them!
In addition to work there was also some fun! The beautiful spring like day saw Coach Scolamiero take the mound in the first inning and continue to feed the pitching machine through all fifty as our boys played their annual fundraising Fifty Inning Game. They hit, they ran, they scored, and they even got to goof off a little! The fans even came out to support them and a good day was had by all!

He also provided a key spark offensively going 2 for 3, which included a 3 run blast to begin the scoring for the Raiders. Gray Tollison also looked sharp at the plate (3/4) and had several nifty plays at third. The Raiders continued their dominance from the mound as Mason Edwards pumped in strike after strike in the fourth and fifth innings. The bats warmed up unlike the weather as the Raiders began stringing hits together and capitalizing on Wildcats mistakes. Building a healthy lead as the Red Raiders added two each inning to bring their lead to nine. The Raider pitching staff continued to pound the zone as Evan Smith faced the minimum in the 6th and Steven Wohlrab fanned 2 in 7th. Grant Cox closed out the final inning of play.
