A Tennessee High School Division II-AA three-game playoff series has been cast into the national spotlight after Ensworth’s pitcher Connor Cobb tossed a no-hit gem to tie the series with Father Ryan at 1-1.<\/span><\/p>\n

While you’d expect the buzz to be focused on the Vanderbilt commit’s masterpiece, that’s not the case. Instead, it was Cobb’s final pitch\u2014No. 121 on the day\u2014 that caused a stir.<\/span><\/p>\n

In short: it was one pitch too many under TSSAA’s rules.<\/span><\/p>\n

Per the TSSAA rulebook<\/span><\/a>, the pitch count rule allows for an athlete to throw no more than 120 pitches in one day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ensworth’s coach Jason Maxwell called the association the following day and reported the infraction, which led to the forfeit of the series and a shocking end to the season.<\/span><\/p>\n

As The Tennesessaon’s Tom Kreager reported<\/a>, it sounds like this occurrence\u2014though odd\u2014isn’t uncommon:<\/span><\/p>\n

[Gene] Menees reiterated that the TSSAA’s rule is 120 pitches and has been “as long as there has been a pitch count rule.” Menees said the first year of the rule pitchers were permitted to finish the batter at the plate. <\/span>That changed after one year<\/span><\/a>. The pitch count rule began in 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

Menees said the TSSAA sees pitch count violations submitted to its Hermitage office each year. He said it’s more common in the playoffs.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Father Ryan now advances to the Mid Region round, where they’ll play Lipscomb Academy.<\/span><\/p>\n
