The #2 in the Region Raiders travel to Dixie Heights Monday to take on the #1 in the Region Colonels. Should be a good #1 vs. #2 game. Any thoughts or predictions on how this game will pan out with Ryle's great hitting and Dixie's stellar pitching?

 

:dancingpa

Ill take great pitching over great hitting anyday.

 

Dixie Heights 5

Ryle 2

It all depends who throws... If Donovan pitches for Ryle, I will take the Raiders!

 

Should be a fun game to watch!

Im expecting either Stansberry or Sexton to throw. I think the Colonels will leave Smallwood for the district game on Tuesday.

I can almost guarantee you'll see Donovan going in this game for Ryle, as he only threw to one batter in the Knochelman tourney and that was Thursday night. I think he holds Dixie to a couple of runs and Ryle wins this one. Should be a great game if the weather cooperates.

Dixie's pitching ERA is about 2.00 even so I think if the Colonels can put up about 4 to 5 runs they should be in good shape.

Well if his ERA is 2.00, why do you feel you'll put up 4 or 5? :sssh:

 

Same probably applies for whomever Dixie is throwing - I'm sure their ERA is quite low, but Ryle has enough hitting to put up 4 or 5 on most pitchers.

True. This will be a good hard fought game. Should be a pitchers duel.

Time of first pitch?

Somewhere between 5:00 and 5:01 at Dixie's field.

 

If their concessions are open, you should think about buying me a dog.

Ryle is a much better hitting team than any of Dixie's previous opponents this year. I think Dixie's bats will need to be alive if they want to walk away with the W. Should be a good early season match up.

Isn't Ryle averaging somewhere around 9 or 10 runs a a game?

Consider it done, my man.

Isn't Ryle averaging somewhere around 9 or 10 runs a a game?

 

NCC (11), Brossart (8), CCH (7), Conner (14), St. Henry (7). 5 games, 47 runs, 9.4 runs per game average.

 

Though they admittedly haven't faced a Smallwood-caliber pitcher yet.

 

And they will certainly see some tough pitching in the West Jessamine tourney this weekend when they face West Jessamine and Franklin County.

Ryle gets out in 5.
