We Have A Jumbled Mess Now

It is very obvious that at least four or maybe even five teams  in Big East Baseball could make the playoff this year and after tonight jumbled just might not be a good enough to describe the parity in this league.

Fike squeak one out Tuesday at Rocky Mount but they were not as lucky tonight as Northern Nash  beats Fike 7-3 to lose their first conference game of the year and in the process Northern joins Fike at 3-1 in conference play.

Hunt didn't have to face Tyler King and that is a very good sign for any Big East team when they play Nash Central.  Tonight Hunt continues to be the best hitting team in the Big East  drubbing the Bulldogs 10-0.  Hunt has scored 34 runs in two conference games this week.

In the game to get out of the the bottom of the pile Rocky Mount scored three in the top of the first and Southern scored but once in the bottom of the first but Rocky Mount kept going while Southern never crossed the plate rest of the way.  Will Edwards gets  a complete five inning win as the Gryphons beat Southern Nash 14-1.

Fike, Northern and Hunt are tied at the top at 3-1. Nash Central is 2-0 with Tyler King on the mound just giving up two runs while 0-2 when he doesn't pitch and giving up 23 runs.  Rocky Mount is now 1-3 but the way this league is that just might have gotten themselves new life after tonight.  Right now it looks as if Southern is doomed for the bottom.

Today Wake Forest announced that Danny Manning is their man but they will not have a news conference until next week in Winston.  Ron Wellman the Athletic Director of the Deacs is the chairman of the NCAA selection committee and of course all college basketball people are in Dallas this weekend for the final four.

I just don't know whether two years as a head coach is enough time to judge how good a coach any coach is as far as recruiting is concerned.  Having coached only two years he may have got to the tournament based on the last coaches players maybe not his on.
