Another Day Another Big Game

Week two of conference in Big East baseball season is upon us and week two is always the week of decision.  Northern Nash and Fike are the only two teams to come away from conference play still unbeaten.  The other end of the spectrum. Rocky Mount and Southern Nash are the only two teams without a victory.  Nash Central and Hunt are right in the middle riding the fence winning one and losing on in the opening week.

Tuesday has Fike making a road trip to Rocky Mount.  Having won both games last week Fike is the top offensive team in the league.  Should they win at Rocky Mount a possible battle Friday with Northern Nash.  Rocky Mount is at that cross roads where they need to win desperately.  A lost and they will be at the point where they can't really do anything but win out to even get themselves back into playoff talk.

Northern Nash host Nash Central tonight and a win Northern will be playing for first place in a major sport for the first time in several years Friday night.  Think about it. Football has been down for a few years but is on the rise.  Basketball has also fell into the pit of  non winning for a while and baseball hasn't been a player in the playoffs since their eastern final run what year was it 2007.

So far the first ten games of the season Northern's pitching and defense has held everyone at bay.  Their question mark is can they score enough runs to make it easy for their pitchers?  You figure The Bulldogs will throw their best Tyler King which probably means a low scoring game.  A 1-0, 2-1, 3-2 type game favors the team that can score.  So far in two conference games the Bulldogs have scored 9 runs while the Knights have scored but 5.  Sounds like a 2-1 game to me.

The third Big East game has Hunt with a win and a loss playing at Southern Nash looking for some runs as even with two losses they have given up only four runs.  Hunt  looks as though they might get four or five per game but Southern must hold Hunt in check and find a way to score themselves.

Southern like Rocky Mount doesn't want to find themselves three games behind first after the first three games.  Just found out today that TV will be at Rocky Mount so I will be doing PA and play by play together Tuesday night .
