4chs Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Corbin limps into this game having lost 6 of their last 7 games while Whitley has won 13 of their last 18, with one of those losses being a very competitive game against #3 ranked Tates Creek on Friday. Clifford should be on the mound for Whitley after pretty much shutting down Tates Creek the innings he pitched in his last outing. Anyone know who is pitching for Corbin? I would guess that freshman Trace Vorbeck or senior Logan Matlock will get the call for the Hounds. I hate to pick against Corbin, but with Clifford on the mound for the Colonels, they will be hard to beat today.
MountainThunder Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 I think Whitley wins, but it would not surprise me if the Hounds pulled it out.

4chs Posted May 18, 2009 Author Posted May 18, 2009 Corbin wins because of coaching and defense. Their defense is what scares me. Who will play 1B for Corbin with Hendrickson out hurt again and is Salmons back from the DL?
MountainThunder Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Corbin wins because of coaching and defense. Surprise, surprise, ... another slap at Ledington. :isurrender:

The Breeze Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Corbin wins because of coaching and defense. Whitley wins because of coaching and pitching.:ohbrother:
big impact Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Whitley wins because of coaching and pitching.:ohbrother: Corbin has been averaging 8 runs a game, and knocking the cover off the ball...but I guess like everybody always says "Defense wins Championships".:thumb:
cards1b21 Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 In case everyone has forgotten, Ledington/Whitley has lost 4 of their last 6 and Corbin has lost 6 of their last 7. Neither team is great and I think it is safe to say that whoever wins this game, will be the runner-up to SL.

Neither team is great and I think it is safe to say that whoever wins this game, will be the runner-up to SL. I agree that the winner of this game will more than likely be the runnerup to South Laurel. South earned the #1 seed and getting to save their #1 and #2 pitchers is the reason team's fight for that #1 seed. The Corbin/Whitley game will probably not see either team trying to save anyone. They both have to pitch their best available to advance. Funny that you don't mention the Corbin coach when mentioning Corbin's last 7 games, but mention Whitley's when mentioning their last 6 games. :sssh: Either way, I do believe that the winner is facing one of the region favorites in South Laurel and has a tough row to hoe.
