Five teams from the State of North Carolina made the NCAA playoffs. North Carolina State is the only team that is still alive and they made it by the skin on their teeth. Six runs in the last two innings send them to take on the Florida Gators the # one seed in the Tournament.
The Super Regional starts Saturday at 2PM and again Sunday at 1PM. Both of the those games will be carried by ESPNU. Should a third game be needed that will be played on ESPN 2 Monday at high noon.
We are all disappointed that the ACC didn't get more teams into the Super Regional other than Florida State and the Pack. They started with seven and got two in the next faze of the run to the College World Series. The numbers point to the fact the ACC did all right since they started with seven out of 64 which is roughly 11% of the teams were from the ACC. Now that it is down to sixteen teams they stand at 12%.
What is missing is the fact that two teams were hosting on their home fields and didn't get to the next round. The SEC started out with eight which is 12% of the teams in the field and heading to this weekend still have four or 25%.
There are two big surprises Stoney Brook and Kent State. Stoney Brook is a college on Long Island New York and the most famous thing Kent State is known for was shootings that killed students during protest back in 1970. Parity has really reared it's head this year.
Tonight Coleman Pitt Post 58 traveled to Pitt County tonight and after Thursday we will have some idea whether this team has potential to make the up coming state Legion Tournament.
Pitt County Post 39 just could be a first round foe when the playoffs starts but Thursday Post 58 travels to Cherryville to take on the perennial Legion power. After Thursday legion takes the weekend off for high school graduations in the area.
Tonight Post 58 takes it on the chin as Pitt County Post 39 is back to the only team in the area since Winterville no longer has a team and they cleaned Post 58's clock by a 12-4 score. 39 lead at one point 11-1. Post 58 is now 6-2 on the year.
