    I obviously knew East had a great season, but I didn't realized how dominant they had been. Below is an excerpt from the article. Everything being said, I still wouldn't be totally shocked if Mooresville found a way to win this game. In a series, I think East wins, but this is just one game and anything can happen.



    --(from Salisbury Post)--link to full story above


    The Mustangs are No. 1 in 3A in the Impact Baseball poll, and many of the defensive numbers are numbing.
    In 19 games against NPC teams, East has allowed 30 runs. Not earned runs — runs. NPC opponents have scored in only 15 innings against East, while Mustang hurlers have put 108 zeroes on the scoreboard.
    The Mustangs have allowed a total of two runs in their last five outings and blanked two playoff foes.
    This is only the second team in East history to win as many as 25 games and the third in county history.
    East's 3A state champions were 29-1 in 1995. West's 3A runner-up squad was 29-5 in 2004. Neither of those teams enjoyed a winning streak as long as East's current run of 21 straight victories, which may be a county record.
    East is 12-0 at Staton Field this season.
    The Mustangs have won 29 straight games against 3A opponents. East hasn't lost to a 3A squad since West Rowan outscored the Mustangs 13-11 in 2006.
    East beat Mooresville 6-3 at Staton Field on March 7.
    That game was mostly about Roland. He homered, knocked in three and pitched six shutout innings with eight strikeouts.
    East's game at Mooresville on April 15 essentially ended the NPC regular-season race. East left Race City with a 10-1 win and a three-game lead. That contest was one-sided because of Corbin Shive. He pitched six shutout innings, hit two long homers and knocked in four.
