Scrimmages

apparantly you don't get out much. Didn't RM lose early last year and they have the same pitchers. Lee is a gamer. I'll take 9 of his kind. You were right in one aspect that Hunt will have more strikouts. But, they know how to manufacture runs and RM has to hit Hunts pitching.

 

Big T -

You're right. Even though it sounded like it I did not mean to make it sound like Lee was not a player. He's good.

And yes RMT had same pitching last year and lost one game against a team that played small ball. That was a great strategy. And almost anyone can win or lose one game.

I'm just saying that while Hunt may have hitters, a good D, and good pitching so does Rocky Mount. Keep in mind that this past summer the Jr. Legion team hit 22 HR's in just 19 games. Many of those boys are starters on the team this year.

Win or lose it won't be because they can't hit Hunt pitching.

 

Thanks.. Hunts first game should be a big indication on how hunt and aycock will be as for rm they will be tough to beat but so will a lot of other teams.

LN Shortstop

I liked your Shortstop. #6 Edmiston I think is his name. Quick feet and good hands. Got rid of the ball quickly and accurately. I didn't see him really have to air it out from deep short but I liked his approach to the game.

What year is he? It looks to me like he could go on and play at the next level. Is he committed to a college? Tell me about this kid.

 

LKN's shortstop is only a sophmore so no college decision made yet...

 

Weddington Vs. Charlotte Christian

Weddington and Christian squared off on Sat. Through 7 innings it was tied 3-3. The umpires decided to call it quits after the 7th, but they played on with Christians coaches calling the game. Weddington was able to score in the 8th while holding off Christian. Weddington 4-3. They were able to keep going which was good to get more pitchers some time on the mound. I left after the 8th, so not sure what happened then.

3 home runs in the game:
Weddington- Boone
Christian- Litton, and (not sure of his name).

 

Ian Edmiston is his name. So very coachable and a complete ballplayer. I often look at players and wonder who will be playing when they are 25 years old, and I always thought that about Ian. He and his twin brother Jack are sophomores at Lake Norman and they will be making some noise through 2012.

 

East Rowan--WOW

East Rowan 17
Mt. Tabor 2

East Rowan 18
North Davidson 1

Not misprints. And yes, that is the North Davidson that is #5 in the 4A Impact Poll.

 

Did anyone see or know details about the East Rowan-North Davidson scrimmage last week? I know this is a thread for regular season first week, but I know East won 18-1 and find the score hard to believe. Any details from anyone there?
