There are two weeks left in the baseball regular season. Wilson County is out this week for Easter so there is no action going on this week in conference play between Nash and Wilson County schools except for Tuesday.
Rocky Mount and Fike had a Friday makeup game rained out a couple of weeks ago. They were not able to make it up any other time other than this Tuesday night. Both were off because of this crazy two week Easter break. This will be the only game this week for the Gryphons.
Expect to see the entire pitching staff get work in this one. Coach Kent Cox needs a win against Fike so I suspect Benton Moss will get the start. How far he goes will be determined by the score. If the Gryphons get control of this one early you may see several pitchers get an inning in order that they not be rusty when Rocky Mount starts the three game final week next week.
Northern has the better finishing schedule. They play twice this week against Southern Nash and Nash Central. The Thursday game with Nash Central will have plenty of seedings for the playoff implications. The top two in the Big East are guaranteed a first round playoff game while 3rd and 4th will be on the road during their entire run until the regional should anyone last that long.
Between Rocky Mount , Northern and Nash Central they should finish in some order 2/3/4 unless Hunt has a total collapse. That would mean only one of the Nash County schools would get a home game in the playoffs while the others would start out on the road.
This spring the spring sports have had to do what winter sports go through every year when school is out two weeks for Christmas Break. This spring break deal coming so close to the end of regular season it is not very good for any one wanting to have a rhythm going into the playoffs.
