Two teams meet tonight in the 4/5 matchup in the Big East Baseball tournament that at this moment the losers season ends tonight. Every team dreams of playoff victories but for 5-5 Nash Central and 5-5 Rocky Mount a victory still will not put them in the playoffs. They must turn around Thursday and play the top seeded team Northern Nash 7-3 and should somehow they win that they still must win against probably the survivor of the Wilson County semi final game between Hunt 6-4 and Fike 6-4.
Should either Rocky Mount or Nash Central accomplish that feat they would then draw the second spot behind Northern Nash and would drop Hunt to third and Fike would then fall off the map of the playoffs.
Both the Bulldogs and Gryphons took opposite maps to find the 5-5 destination. Nash Central started out winning four of their first six conference games including beating Rocky Mount twice. Rocky Mount lost their first three conference affairs but finished 5-2 over the last seven games.
The way this season has gone when it seems that there is not a dominate team in this league, when there is not a team in the league sure they can score enough to win any game why isn't this year the year that one of those teams Nash Central or Rocky Mount can pull off the unthinkable and win the tournament. Over the last seven games Rocky Mount is 5-2 and that is just as good as anybody else.
If either Nash Central or Rocky Mount do run the table and win three games this week it would give them the an overall record by winning the tournament at 8-5. If one knocks off Northern Thursday Northern would be 7-4 and if one beats Hunt Friday they would be 7-5 and if it was Fike on Friday they would be 8-5.
The way this season has gone there is no guarantee that Southrrn Nash at 1-9 could scare the whole lot to death by taking the title. If the season were over as of right now Northern gets a home game next week in the state playoffs. and due to the fact the overall record of any team that gets the second or third I would doubt they would rate a high enough seed to get a home game.
Nash Central won four games against Southern Nash and Rocky Mount against the top three could only win one of six games. Rocky Mount beat Southern twice and lost to the Bulldogs twice. Against the top three they were 3-3. So if there is a team tonight that should think they can win it all is Rocky Mount, they played chest to chest against this leagues best. Their only problem is they need to figure out how to beat the Bulldogs so they can take on the top three. The top three where The Gryphons have been on even footing.
