I know that some of the kids on the East/West that got selected turned it down. Now some might have done this to give other players an opportunity to play in front of scouts that might not have made a choice on college or something like that.

 

Got to look where they are coming from. Oops I did it again. I'm sure that I will here it.

 

Of course...

I am biased but I continue to argue that Region Five haas and continues to have the most talented players anywhere in the state of NC JMHO!

 

region 5

yeah and they looked great yesterday but don't count out region 6...

 

Just a question. How many are on a showcase team? And how do the other regions fair with that same question. I guess the same could be said about the seniors.

REGION 6 - 7
REGION 8 - 2

REGION 6 Highlights
WP: Jordan Darnell (Ardrey Kell) 4IP
RP: Nate Cudney (Myers Park) 3IP

Best hit: Richie Shaffer (Providence) HR

Defensive web gems: Justin Roland (East Rowan) excellent plays at SS

REGION 6 has won their first 2 games and has looked quite good so far.

 

Region 8 selections this year were, well let's just say, unusual.

 

One for the ages...

Region 5 - 1
Region 3 - 0

Wow! What a game. Both teams battled fiercely late into the night as goose eggs lit up the scoreboard for 10 straight innings. Both teams had mutiple scoring chances but were all snuffed out by stellar defensive plays or great pitching efforts. Finally, Zack Briggs of Region 5 singled home the winning run with two outs in the bottom of the tenth.
Tyler Joyner was impressive for Region 3 as the '09 lefty lit up the radar guns with an upper 80's fastball and sic slider. Pratt Maynard battled through the middle innings as did Dylan Kipp who pitched excellent as well. Region 5 continued to rotate a different pitcher every inning but the strategy has paid off so far.
Hate that anybody had to lose this one. Definately one for the books.
