Good game by both teams there first rounds.. Whats everyone's predictions?

Should be a good game. With Stansberry pitching 7 against CovCath and JR Gabe Schultz pitching 4 against Conner, neither are available to pitch in this game.

 

FR Mitchell Jones (2 inn) and JR Quentin Murray (1 inn) are both available for HHS. SO Joey Cochran started against NCC in the District 36 Final if that is any indication of who might start for HHS.

 

Although HHS did not get to play on the turf at Florence Freedom yesterday, they played 5 games in 4 days on turf at The Ripken Experience in Myrtle Beach during Spring Break. Those fields had dirt mounds and home plate area (which I think is a much better setup), but is better than having your 1st game on turf be in the Regional Semis.

 

P.S. Although WED is the last day of school AND the 1st day of Football practice after school, I wouldn't be surprised if Dale lets the football players out of practice in time to get to Florence by 5:00 PM to root on the Baseball Birds. Student support has been great over the last 10 games including Senior Day, Community Appreciation Day, District Tournament (particularly in the Finals against NCC) and yesterday at both Florence Freedom before the game was postponed and at Dixie for the win.

Who will be the starters?

If Schultz only threw 4 innings, he will be available tomorrow by rule as he only requires 1 day rest (today).

Who will be the starters?

 

Mitch Meyer will start at First Base.

I foresee a lot of practice against SAC bunts and squeeze plays in Edgewood today.

Either Adam Dickman or Ryan Sexton is starting pitching for Dixie Heights and i don't know who's pitching for Highlands.

Who will be the starters?

Highlands seems to have their mojo going now. Would never have thought it possible 3 weeks ago, but I'll go with HHS in a close one over Dixie to send them into the championship game. (Where they will lose to Ryle ).

Mitch Meyer will start at First Base.

 

Your funny..Pitching starters..

If Schultz only threw 4 innings, he will be available tomorrow by rule as he only requires 1 day rest (today).

 

You are correct. I always get confused. Rule is summarized below:

 

1 pitch in any inning = 1 inning

1 or 2 innings, no rest required

3 - 5 innings, 1 day rest required

6 innings, 2 days rest required

7 - 9 innings, 3 days rest required

No > 9 innings in any single day

No > 15 innings in any 7 day period

Dixie will pull out the victory in this game. Dixie 7 HHS 3

I like the Birds and Coach Baioni to move on.

 

Whoever makes the least amount of errors wins.
