Week #4 Game Scores Thread

For the records...Zac or Zachary Farry.

 

East Burke falls to AC Reynolds 10-9. Cavaliers didn't have a good defensive game. Bats were lookin better but still not great. EB-(0-1)
AC-(1-1)

 

In the NM vs. Independence game, I did not see greg Allen or Daniel Whitmire get solid hits. I should also add that Allen is batting less than .200 for the season. Whitmire is not leading Allen by much. The only solid hits for the game were by Pou in the 1st and Kelly in the third.

 

Re: Providence 8 Myers Park 3

Just curious....how many errors by MP and were they at crucial times?

This maybe the most talented Providence team in many years...To all the SW4A teams...Beware of the Panthers...they are getting prepared to bite.

I suspect MP will be licking their wounds and taking it out on their opponents this week...not a good week to play the Mustangs.

 

I have to agree. Our cleanup hitting for North JV leaves a lot to be desired. I watched the Norht vs. Ind game pitch for pitch and the only solid hits were Pou and Kelly. North JV isn't winning with a great hitting game. Their defense has been very solid and this has won their games.

 

About hitting

At a time of year when most of the bats are starting to heat up, a lot of players will be lagging behind because of lack of repetitions, rain, not seeing live pitching as much as needed, missed games, games played in the drizzle.

In non-conference play, a lot of pitchers were also being auditioned for the season. Determinations were being made by the coaches as to who was consistant and could "get the job done". Now that conference play has begin, the pitching for most every team has solidified and it's made it even tougher on the hitters. By the end of the 2nd week of April, you will probably be able to tell who has the good hitting teams.

 

The rescheduled 3/22 Waddell vs. Olympic @ Olympic game from the week of 3/17 has been yet rescheduled again for Monday, 3/24 @ Olympic.

 

This week's action "Down East"

DH Conley, after being ranked nationally slipped with two early season losses. They have seemed to have "righted the ship" with two strong wins this past week, moving them into strong contention as one of the better teams in the state. Their week included wins against North Pitt (6-2) and East Wayne (3-1).

Hoggard High School in Wilmington is always a powerhouse at the plate. This week they dropped a key matchup to state contender JH Rose 7-1. JH Rose was challenged earlier this week by the quality squad out of Kinston, pulling out a 6-5 victory. Late in the week, Laney toppled JH Rose 2-1.

These 3 teams have to be watched carefully out of the "Far East".
