hotdog37, THANK YOU!!! I didn’t realize I had to ask permission to ask a simple question. I also said NOTHING about O’Flynn’s performance during the year. I’ve see her pitch and she’s impressive in the circle. It was a big game and she pitched her heart out. I’m not taking that away from her. Both Scrima and Dinet are seniors and Katie Scrima did go a great job last year. She also had the experience from last year. If you have excellent pitching three deep, then I was just asking why you wouldn’t go with another pitcher, just for the fact it was back to back games.

As far as the comment about me coaching. Last time I checked coaching a game was more than figuring out who’s going to be on the mound. I again NEVER questioned anything or commented on his coaching abilities,

Once again Great job to the girls of Pearl River and North Rockland. Regardless of what some may think. I am a fan.

PS – Also, instead of all of us commenting on what Pearl River or North Rockland did or should have done, what everyone should comment on (including Debbie) is the outstanding pitching job that the Brentwood Pitcher (Flint) and the Floral Park Pitcher (Giovanniello) did against North Rockland and Pearl River respectfully. Yes, thsee 2 teams are not in out coverage area, but this is what everyone reporting on the game and commenting on the game should focus on. Historically and predominately, Pitching wins games for teams. The more dominanting the pitcher, the more likely a team will win. When a pitcher throws a Perfect Game in a State Semi Final game, like Flint did, then that is truly something to talk about (why in the world the Flint kid did not get picked for Gatorade State Player of the Year is BEYOND me [I would be the bank that Flint gets selected at the State Class AA Player of the Year by the State Sportswriters and Coaches Association over the kid who one the State Gatorade Player of the Year).

Now Joe B – Lets be nice and not bash anyone. Remember, this is all about the girls and both teams should be commended for an outstanding year. “Lifesapitch” has a right to their comment on here just as you do. So, lets play nice. Where are Debbie’s “Post Game Comments”????

Hey lifesapitch,

Real class to second guess after the success that O’Flynn has had getting them there. All three pitchers are excellent and he went with the hot hand. Five shut out innings against the #1 team is pretty impressive. The girls should be very proud and the coach did a terrific job.

Congratulations to both PR and NR. But most of all kudos to the PR and NR little league for developing these talented group of girls. More little leagues should realize the importance of these starter programs for the future of the HS sport.

I still don’t know why he started O’Flynn when he has Scrima and DInet?

Game Over – Pearl River lost 4-0 – Probably the most dominating pitching performance that Pearl River has seen in years.
