I also believe it will become down to St X and Male..... Both programs are rich in tradition, well coached, and are extremely talented. I give the nod to Male because of the overall team speed, pitching , bunting/fundamentals.
Region Picks : 1) Male 2) St X 3) Eastern ( Surprise of region ) 4) CAL 5) Trinity 6) Ballard
St X is a very nice team....But it will be extremely tough for them to get out of the 7 th Region. There are a lot of quality teams that can beat you in a 1 and done scenario. The Bullseye continues to be on their back...
A very well played baseball game.....Male had 4 hits and the Tigers had 1. Male scored a run in the bottom of the second which held up to be the only run of the evening.
It appeared as if the Tigers pitchers failed to challenge the Bulldogs hitters....appeared as if they relied on mostly breaking pitches ( change ups, curve balls ). .... Tigers swung the bats pretty well up and down the line up. Dawgs had their chances but couldn't capitalize on the walks and wild pitches./passed balls.
ST.X has a loaded pitching staff along with several key position players returning this year. Also returning is a Pitcher who sat out last season as a Junior....He is arguably the most Talented Pitcher on the team. Good Luck Tigers!!
I have no ties to either of these 2 teams...but correct me if I am wrong...but didn't Male beat Trinity in basketball ( Regionals ) and baseball ( Regional Finals I believe)? Believe the Rocks were heavily favored to win both of these.....that's why you play the game!! Still think Trinity beats them handily.
