A day after the AIA made Queen Creek forfeit its 6A playoff win over Hamilton for use of an illegal pitcher, the baseball coach pleaded his case.

To no avail.

Moreno said he entered 55 pitches against Chaparral for Tomerlin on the AIA website. That would have allowed Tomerlin to come back on two days' rest. Chaparral's GameChanger had Tomerlin for 64 pitches. "Additionally, at the end of each game, that sheet they said that was required to turn in, I was supposed to take that sheet and meet at home plate with the opposing coach and he signs my sheet and I sign their sheet, and turn it in to the athletic director.

"I started off the conversation by saying, 'Sir, this is human error on my part, and I'm taking full responsibility for our less-than-subpar stat-taking formula,'"Moreno said."I said there are extenuating circumstances for this one game. Moreno said he likens the punishment to being ticketed for driving 59 miles per hour in a 55-mile-per-hour zone.

Because he doesn't use GameChanger, Moreno said he was told by Nenaber to enter the pitch count for the Chaparral game on Wednesday morning, after it came to light that Tomerlin might have exceeded the pitch-count limit in order to pitch Tuesday.
