No. 1 Patriots host No. 9 Jets in huge semifinals showdown on Wednesday.
Bob Jones pitcher Braden Booth, shown in a quarterfinal playoff win over Thompson last week, is 12-0 on the mound and is batting .423 for the No. 1 Patriots. Bob Jones will host Madison City Schools rival James Clemens in the Class 7A semifinals beginning Wednesday. When Bob Jones played Madison City Schools rival James Clemens in a three-game Area 8 series three weeks ago, it was a pressure-packed situation.
“We’ll have bleachers down the left-field line for the James Clemens folks and down the right-field line for us. I don’t think finding a seat will be a problem, but if you want to be right by the action, you might want to get there early.” James Clemens does have one D1 commitment in pitcher Luke Davenport. The senior right-hander has 45 strikeouts in 33.2 innings this year with a 4-1 record, two saves and a 2.91 ERA.
James Clemens coach Johnny Johnson talks with James Clemens' Mason Busch during an AHSAA Class 7A Round 1 game at Spain Park High School in Birmingham, Ala., Friday, April 28, 2023. Loosier leads the team at the plate with a .408 average with 45 stolen bases. He has also been hit by a pitch a team-best 21 times. James Clemens has 79 HBP thus far – another school record.
“These guys have just played really good with great leadership,” said Smith, who recorded his 300th win on March 16 with a 2-0 win over Hoover. “They have just meshed together well. They have exceeded our preseason expectations, but you’d never anticipate a season like this. They all pull for each other. The guys on the bench know their role, whether it’s to provide energy, pinch-hit or be a defensive replacement. We have 28 guys who all want to win no matter what it takes.
Booth leads Bob Jones at the plate – with a .423 batting average – and on the mound, where he is 12-0 with 110 strikeouts and a 1.41 ERA. “He’s our only pitcher that you would consider overpowering,” Smith said, “but he pitches well, too. He throws three or four pitches in any count. He doesn’t just rely on velocity. He can throw a firm fastball.”
