Corbin wins because of coaching and defense.

How in the world did you put Corbin over Middlesboro. They got thumped by them not even a week ago. And even though they haven't played, based on like opponents, I feel the same way about WC and Middlesboro. My order of favorites is: 1. SL 2. Clay County 3. Middlesboro 4. Bell County 5. Corbin 6. North Laurel 7. Whitley County

The regional tournament will be at Whitley County High School.

I know everyone has a tendency to think that they are the team of the future but I do know that SL, Corbin, KC, and Clay County all have pretty young teams that have great potential. The number of young players doesn't always translate into quality young players. NL does have a good group of young kids though. I look forward to seeing them develop.

Their are two alternates however, that could very well end up coming out of their districts and they are NL and Whitley County. If NL comes out of their district, it would be a disappointing end for the Clay County team no doubt. I actually think NL has a pretty good chance of making this happen.

Who pitched for both teams? Does Harlan County have that catcher thats pretty good back on their team?

Someone started a thread for the 14th region to base their discussion on and I thought that would be a good idea for the 13th region. After the regular season games have been played, here is a short rundown of how all the 13th region teams stack up. 49th District @ Clay County Redbird 0-9 vs. Jackson Co. 10-7 (5/18 @ 5:00 PM) Clay County 19-3 vs. NL 9-12-1 (5/18 @ 7:00 PM) 50th District @ Corbin SL 18-4 vs. Williamsburg 5-19 (5/18 @ 5:30 PM) Whitley Co. 14-11 vs. Corbin 15-13 (5/18 @ 8:00 PM) 51st District @ Lynn Camp KC 8-13 vs. Lynn Camp 1-12 (5/18 @ 5:00 PM) B'ville 7-12 vs. Pineville 5-9 (5/18 @ 7:00 PM) 52nd District @ Harlan Bell County 16-7 vs. Harlan 6-12 (5/18 @ 6:00 PM) Middlesboro 16-6 vs. Harlan County 7-16 (5/18 @ 8:30) I think that the eight teams that will come out will be Clay (1), Jackson (2), SL (1), Corbin (2), Knox Central (1), B'ville (2), Middlesboro (1), and Bell County (2). On a side note, could the 51st District be the worst district in the country? I think it may be a possibility.

You weren't that wrong. If SL and Middlesboro didn't play a 10 inning game, the winner would have had some pitching left over for the championship. It was obvious that they were the better teams. NL just got the luck of the draw and got to play Middlesboro after a marathon the night before.

North Laurel moves to 8-12-1 on the year and Whitley County moves to 14-11. No doubt WC didn't throw there best with their big game on Monday coming up but NL didn't either as they have an even bigger game against Clay for their district tournament opener.

They have been very down. They hit the ball well but they have no pitching.

I saw Middlesboro beat them 16-3 tonight. That was kind of the score that was expected for the Whitley-KC game.

Impressive score.

No, they really didn't actually. They had one throw from the pitcher to first base that could have been a toss if he had wanted to that just sailed over the first baseman's glove. They had one more, a throw from SS that probably should have been caught by the 1B that tipped off of his glove. Other than that, they fielded several balls that they missed the other night. They also had a different defensive lineup in the game. Maybe that had something to do with it. But...they played very well defensively.

Sorry I didn't get this one up last night. SL played very well tonight with 0 errors and at least 10 hits against Middlesboro's pitcher Matt Cox. Middlesboro had some good hits as well but they didn't have any in clutch situations. Bowling hit another homerun, his 3rd against Middlesboro alone. It was a well played game and actually, a little closer than the score indicates.

I would take a forfeit then. 1-0 W. Especially, if they didn't give your coach enough time to find another game.

Yeah this weather is terrible. We might be heading down to Middlesboro instead of them coming up here.

I think Corbin bounces back and wins by 4+ runs.

That's all we need- Pittman to be getting healthy at just the right time. Imagine if they lose to Bell in the District championship and someone has to face Middlesboro in the first round of region with Pittman on the mound. Talk about worst case scenario.

What makes you say that? I know Middlesboro hit the ball well. Did Corbin not play any defense? How was their pitching? Did Pittman look healthy?

big impact, you go to the game?

Heard the bats came alive for Middlesboro and Pittman pitched a dandy. Anyone see the game?

I simply stated a score. You all are the ones that can't deal with that score. And for the record, SL is the #1 seed in the district and I assure you, they earned it.

SL has a big advantage because we can save our ace for the championship. I think Corbin will beat WC (needless to say) which will set up a Corbin vs. SL matchup.

Clay is fairly solid this year. I still don't think they have what it takes to close the deal. And that isn't even saying that they don't have the most talent either.

Whitley lost to a pretty weak McCreary Central yesterday. Just when many thought they had turned a corner, they lose to (11-11) McCreary Central who had early in the season, been beaten by NL, Corbin, SL, and only beat Williamsburg 2-1. Not the best game for the Colonels.
