High School Baseball
Newnan rallies past Douglas County 10-5
by Doug Gorman
With gusty winds kicking up infield dirt, and temperatures dropping into the 40s by the end of the game, it didn't feel like baseball weather at Joe Pope Field.
Yet Newnan overcame Tuesday's elements and one bad inning to beat Douglas County 10-5 to open a three-game Region 3-AAAAA series this week.
The two teams will meet again on Thursday in Douglas County, before closing out the series back in Newnan on Friday.
The Cougars' victory on Tuesday — off the heels of a disappointing loss to Westlake last week — could be a sign things are starting to head in the right direction for a Cougars team that entered the year with a new lineup from top to bottom.
On Tuesday, Newnan's No. 8 and 9 hitters Chase Jones and Drew Oldham combined for 7 RBIs.
"A game like this makes you grow up," said Newnan head coach Marc Gilmore. "But we have played enough games, the inexperienced thing is out the window."
Newnan side-armer Chris Turner entered the game in relief of starter Tanner Snellgrove in the fourth and picked up the win after the Cougars rallied from a 4-3 deficit in the fourth inning with a four-run explosion.
Newnan which improved to 1-1 in region play and 4-9 overall, outhit the Tigers 10-5 getting help from the bottom of the order en route to the victory.
Douglas County fell to 0-1 in 3-AAAAAA and 6-5 overall.
The Cougars played error-free baseball en route to their first region victory while Oldham — in the No. 9 spot — finished with 5 RBIs to pace Newnan's offense in addition to playing solid defense at second base.
Jones knocked in two runs for the Cougars, hitting out of the No. 8 spot and perfectly executed a squeeze bunt that drove in a run as part of the team's fourth-inning rally.
"The bottom of the order really carried us today," Gilmore said.
Newnan took control of the game early, scoring three in the bottom of the second inning on RBIs from Tyler Davis and Jones.
Snellgrove looked unhittable through two innings, striking out five of the first six batters he faced.
But things turned in the Douglas County's favor with a run in the third and three more in the top of the fourth to take a 4-3 lead.
The Tigers took advantage of control problems from Snellgrove in the top of the fourth after he walked five batters in the inning, three of which eventually scored before Turner came on to get out of the jam with a strikeout and a groundout.
Douglas County's lead didn't last long thanks to the Cougars' fourth-inning rally paced by Jones suicide squeeze and Oldham's two-run single.
"I am really pleased with the way we battled back," Gilmore said. "Teams are going to have big innings against you, but if you can answer the bell usually you can get the momentum back."
Newnan added two insurance runs in the fifth and one in the sixth to seal the victory.
Douglas County added its final run of the game in the fifth.
Justin Groover finished the game with a double and Oldham smacked a triple to go along with his 3-for-3 performance.
Gilmore is happy with the way his team stay focused in less ideal baseball conditions.
"Mother Nature has been very mad at high school baseball players and coaches this year," Gilmore said. "It's mental, the game doesn't change. What you are supposed to do on the mound, at the plate and in the field is the same. It comes down to are you tough enough, and are you going to battle through it"

Sea Shepherd activists claim win over Japanese whaling fleet
- From: Mercury
- February 24, 2014
ENVIRONMENTALISTS say they have again interrupted the slaughter of whales in the Southern Ocean by keeping a Japanese fleet on the run.
The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society was yesterday attempting to place its boats between the Japanese hunting ships and the larger factory vessel MV Nisshin Maru.
Three Sea Shepherd ships — the Bob Barker, the Steve Irwin and the Sam Simon — have been chasing the whalers across the Southern Ocean since last December.
Steve Irwin captain, Siddharth Chakravarty, said his ship's helicopter was used to spot the Japanese fleet early yesterday morning in the Ross Sea Dependency region of Antarctica.
"For the third time this year, the Steve Irwin's helicopter has achieved our aim of locating the Nisshin Maru, despite their best efforts to evade accountability for their flagrant disregard of international law,'' Mr Chakravarty said.
Sam Simon captain, Adam Meyerson, said his crew had spotted whale entrails in the ocean, which confirmed the animals had been killed in the region.
"As the whalers run from the Sea Shepherd ships, we are proud that today is a day that we have seized for the whales, restoring peace to the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary,'' Mr Chakravarty said.
Bob Barker captain, Peter Hammarstedt, said he expected an "escalation" of aggressive tactics by the whalers as the Sea Shepherd ships attempted to outrun the harpoon vessels.
Mr Hammarstedt said the Sea Shepherd vessels planned to get between the harpoon ships and the Nisshin Maru to prevent whales being loaded.

I found out later the guitarist was Jessica Dobson, the lead singer-guitarist-keyboardist for Seattle's Deep Sea Diver. Similar to frontwomen such as Erika Wennerstrom of Heartless Bastards and Chan Marshall of Cat Power, Dobson possesses the kind of vocal pipes suited for the center of the stage. Although she's now a regular member of the Shins and has accompanied the likes of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Spoon on tour, Dobson and her own band are gaining traction. In conjunction with playing a slew of shows this year, the three-piece released its debut album, History Speaks, which encompasses a nice blend of upbeat badass-ery and lush beauty proving Dobson to be a spellbinding leading lady.SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Deep Sea Diver, Wild Belle, Lemolo PRIORITY:3END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
