A splendid culmination to a 6-week fall league of baseball fun, skill development and memories occurred this evening at the Winthrop University Ballpark. Two all-star teams chosen from a 13 team league charged onto a NCAA D-1 field and competed in a 7-inning match-up.
No event such as this ha...

The final game (other than this Thursday’s All-Star Game at Winthrop) of the 2018 GRH Fall League was a make-up game of an earlier rainout.

Diamond Prospects popped into James Island High School Wednesday night to get our second glimpse of the Greenwave 1 team, as they matched up with the Trojans 1 team for the first time this fall. With this much-anticipated break in the heat, it was an awesome night to evaluate a game down in the Lowcountry. On t...

Continued Week 6 coverage included a look at game 1 of the Warriors home doubleheader on Wednesday night. A quick game ensued, somewhat because pitchers were throwing strikes & somewhat because the home plate umpire really believed in a generous outside corner. In the end, the Warriors held off a late-awaken...

A Monday start to three consecutive nights of the final week of league play ordered up perfect fall baseball weather at Rock Hill HS. A back-and-forth scoring game followed what I believe is the first attempt at a pre-game I/O (infield/outfield) I can remember in 3 years – compliments of the Volunteers. Personal...

With Week 5 of the Upstate Fall League off and rolling, DP made multiple stops on this Tuesday evening at Riverside and Hillcrest HS. The trend for this fall continued as scattered showers popped up around the area and a call had to be made if games should continue as scheduled.
As always, players and coaches were...

DP ventured out to Rock Hill HS for a twinbill reconfigured to avoid Hurricane Michael’s forecasted rain. And…it went swimmingly (pun intended). Each of the Bearcats two teams grabbed a victory in a perfect evening for baseball.
In Game 1 Bearcats-McCoy held off the Patriots late rally to secure a 7-5 victory. B...
