13th Region Tournament Pairings

[cards1b21]

Knox Central vs. North Laurel

Corbin vs. Harlan County

 

Middlesboro vs. South Laurel

Clay County vs. Barbourville

 

 

This tournament will be played at Middlesboro High School. I will save my predictions for Sunday evening but if you have any predictions, let's hear them.

N. Laurel vs. Corbin & M'Boro vs. Clay in semis. Corbin vs. M'Boro in finals. M'Boro winner of 13th.

I, too, predict North Laurel to win in the first round over Knox Central. Corbin can't be happy drawing Harlan Co. in the first round and facing one of the best pitchers in the 13th Region in Boggs. Clay Co. will roll over Barbourville in the most lop-sided first round game. Middlesboro over South Laurel. I like North Laurel and Clay Co, both because of really good draws and pitching to be in the finals with North Laurel edging Clay for the Regional Championship.

It makes me kind of sad to make these predictions but here we go...

 

Knox Central over North Laurel

Harlan County over Corbin

Middlesboro over South Laurel

Clay County over Barbourville

 

Harlan County over Knox Central

Middlesboro over South Laurel

 

Middlesboro over Harlan County

 

Just a tidbit, although South Laurel wasn't in the region then, the last time Middlesboro hosted region (2002) they won it. Just throwing that out there.

Two for four in first round, how about round two picks now?

North Laurel over Corbin

Middlesboro over Clay County

[LMU20]

I think your correct!

[UKFan8]

I was four-for-four in Round 1, therefore, I'm going to stick with my original picks. North Laurel over Corbin, Clay Co. over Middlesboro with North Laurel over Clay in the Championship.

[LMU20]

I think these are the best four teams in the region and have been all year long. Should be a great night of baseball.

You were four-for-four but you missed a bit on the details. Boggs didn't come in for Harlan County until they had already been scored on, which was a huge mistake by Lewis in my opinion.

 

North Laurel ended winning over Knox Central in the most lopsided game whereas Barbourville played Clay County's tail off until the very end.

 

On another note, I didn't get to make it down to the opening day, how was the atmosphere at Middlesboro? What about field quality?

The field is too small to hold a regional tournament in my opinion. I think that North Laurel and Middlesboro have the advantage in today's games, mainly due to a little more punch in their lineups.
