    Last series

    This is not good,,,,, the last series needed to be left at best of 7, especially this year. The longer a series, the more likely the better team will win, and this year Area III is only sending one team to the state tourney, so I would've definitely left the final series best of 7. But thats just my :twocents: ...

    In my opinion they should play the first 2 rounds the best of 3 & the last series, the best of 5. Think about it,,,,if your team happened to play 5 games in the first 2 rounds & 7 games in the last, thats almost an entire season. And thats just to get out of your division. If 3 games are good enough for the College World Series, it should be good enough for us. Oh yea,,, the best team does not always win it all.

    I respectfully disagree. 5 game series should be the absolute minimum. The tournament is about identifying the best team. One pitcher can dominate a 3 game series if they get a rainy day or 2. Personally I really enjoy the 7 game set. It has a competitive rythm to it that these kids will never experience anywhere else...unless one of them makes the finals of the Big Show.

    I know tj21, but being that we are going into his final season of football & HS baseball next year, I would like to savor every moment. Now back to baseball. If the final series has been knocked down to 5 games, why did they wait & start the initial series on Sat instead of Friday???

    South 10 Run Mooresville putting South in 6th, concord 7th, and mooresville 8th. I know that the top 5 teams are very strong but you have to be weary of the way these matchups are setting. You have a streaky South team going to Lexington, where they played very well both games. You have Concord playing stanly where they beat stanly at Stanly and have finished the season 9-5 after an 0-6 start. And you have Mooresville at Ktown in a series in which Mooresville swept during the season. All Ktown players or not beating them 2 times leaves something to be said. Whether the first round provides in upsets these area playoff games are going to be exciting!

    Matchups as follows. Playoffs start on saturday at higher seed.

    1 Ktown VS 8 Mooresville
    2 Stanly VS 7 Concord
    3 Lex- Dav VS 6 S. Rowan
    4 Rowan VS 5 Mocksville
