District seed game at Conner Monday. Ryle coming in with a 12-1 record against a .500 (7-7) Conner team. Who do you got in this one?

Pitching matchups??

Pitching matchups??

 

That will be the 64 thousands $$ question. My guess is Maines for Conner but for Ryle?

My guess would be Bellew. Great pitcher!

This is a tough one it's a given in my opinion that Maines is on the mound for the cougars, but ryle? Tough.. Does Roesel trust in a junior in josh Bellew to come through? Justin hoard there ace just pitched 5 inning on Friday.. He's out in my opinion.. I believe Pulice pitched Saturday so he's out.. It comes down to Bellew.. Mitchell see.. Or will they pitch Tyler mason who pitched well against Conner earlier this year.. Your guess is as good as mine. The offense on both sides is remarkable so far this year.. Especially looking at the numbers on Ryle's side! Should be interesting to see the outcome!

Ryle run ruling last 2 opponents and Conner losing last two leads me to think the law of probability says Conner. Will be a great game.

Fogle out of the lineup again Saturday and Conner lost 2 games.

 

When he's in the lineup the offense and defense are significantly better. We'll see if he's able to play Monday.

I think we all assume Maines is pitching for Conner. Ryle is up in the air but I'd guess they go back to Mason. Kept the Cougars off balance in their last meeting.

 

However, if we look back at the last game between the two, Conner threw two sophomores (one a jv player) And Conner nearly pulled it out. Still a great win for the Raiders.

 

With that being said, I say that it's hard to go against Conner any time that Maines is on the mound and Fogle is in the leadoff spot

Conner is 0-6 without Fogle in the lineup. His absence on Saturday wasn't due to injury. Rather, he attended the UK Blue/White game. I expect him to play tonight.

I'd expect Maines to get the start tonight for Conner. Also, Smiley was intentionally pulled after 2 innings on Sat, so he is also available if Maines struggles.

Which is very good for the Cougars because from what I heard, he dominated Harrison in his 2 innings of work
