Just plain effective, Lowery pitches Railroaders to Class 1A state baseball championship
WALDORF — About one thing went wrong for Brunswick’s Tyler Lowery on Saturday. He couldn’t finish the Class 1A baseball championship game. Lowery hit the 105-pitch limit one out from clinching the Railroaders’ seventh state title, which left him understandably perturbed. But he received a standing ovation from the Brunswick fans as he dipped into the dugout to grab his infield glove before trotting out to second base, which certainly eased his frustration.
PIMLICO PICKS AND PONDERINGS: may 26, 2024
Late Pick 5 — $0 other handicapping here!. RACE 1: MAIDEN CLAIMING $12,500, 3-YEAR-OLDS, 6 FURLONGS. #1 Coronation Time (5-2) stopped badly going two turns in his last start, but ran steadily improving figures in his one-turn starts over the winter. He finished third behind Kick Startness and Under the Overpass, both of whom are better than anyone in here, with a career-best brisnet figure of 78 in his most recent one-turn try. #2 A B C Ya (3-1) just missed at Charles Town two starts ago, then ran a pace-chasing second behind much-the-best winner Divine Child in his last outing. He has good tactical speed, and will likely rate off probable pacesetter Uncle Chinito from the rail and get first crack when he (more likely than not) fades. #4 Count Daddy (6-1) showed brief speed and faded first off an eight-month layoff at Delaware Park last out, but it was still a much-improved race compared to his debut in September, where he did less than nothing in what proved to be a very productive maiden affair.
