Nope it's the same 7 innings just like the other games. Although if it's a butt kicking, the mercy rule kicks in after 5.

So who will we see on the mound for SL, Whitley,Middlesboro and Clay County? Just curious to know what u all think? Will pitching hurt either of these teams. Who has the depth and who is short?

Middlesboro vs. OBI 10 a.m.

 

First, why start the games so early in the day? Give the fans of the teams who have to travel to get there and see the game. Middlesboro throws Earls and if their bats are alive, they win 10-0. If they are off, Jackets win 2-1 by scoring in the bottom of the 3rd, and bottom of the 6th.

 

Knox Central vs. Whitley County 1 p.m.

 

Whitley will probally have to throw their 2 man, and should come out of this game with a 7-1 win.

 

Clay County vs. Cumberland 4 p.m.

 

Now I get the feeling that this game will be a good one. Look for Cumberland to throw their 2 man, and Clay to throw thier ace. Here's the upset in the 1st round. Cumberland's Drew Chamberlain will hit the game winning HR to left field in the top of the 7th to win 5-4.

 

South Laurel vs. Barbourville 7 p.m.

 

Staff Day for the Cardinals as they win 10-0.

 

 

2nd Round

 

Middlesboro vs Whitley County

 

Middlesboro will throw Freshman pitcher Brett Pitman, and the Cornels will throw their Ace. This game will be a dandy, as the Jackets win it 4-2.

 

South Laurel vs. Cumberland

 

The Redskins will throw Drew Chamberlain and the Cardinals will throw their Ace as well. Look for Cumberland to stay in this game, but the Cardinals will be to much. South 3 Cumberland 1

 

FINAL

Middlesboro vs South Laruel

 

Middlesboro will throw Trevor Hoskins, and South will throw thier 2 man. Middlesboro's defense will kick them in the butt, by committing 3 errors, but the Jackets will still be able to hang on to win 5-4.

Wow the Jackets to beat the Cards? I don't think so. I think it will be Whitley and SL in the final with South winning 5-2. Why do u predict the Jackets to win?

SL beat Mboro 7 -4 earlier this season at SL. Neither team pitched their #1. Game was much closer than the score.

Cody Philpot is 7-0 on the season after shutting out W'burg on Monday. I would fully expect him to be on the hill in game one. If SL gets a big lead, Brown might go to the pen early so as to have Philpot available later on.

South has the best pitching depth and has at least 4 quality starters, so they are the favorite in my opinion.

First round upsets could include Knox over Whitley with Scalf on the mound for the Panthers. Barbourville can give South all they want and could get the win and the Clay/Cumberland game is a toss-up.

South does has more pitching depth and yes, are the favorite. But, I think Coach Smith and his Colonels will find a way to beat the Pathers just one more time. I sure hope you are wrong about this one. Well lets head out to the ole ballpark. Go Colonels!:sssh:

Mboro beat OBI 13-3 in 6.

 

Any score on Knox / Whitley yet?

Knox Central scored 4 runs without an out in the bottom of the 7th to win 7-6.
