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.

Women's Basketball Equals The Men's Of The Sixties
This week is Final Four weekend both in the Men and the women's. U Conn is back for the umpteen
Year in a row. If you can sit and watch the woman play a fundamental game the way basketball is suppose to be played. When you compare them to the men's game the women's game is where the men were in the sixties.
Those of you that were here in those days might remember that there were only three teams west of the Mississippi that made the tournament in most years. The Mid Atlantic was where the power was and when the regionals were over UCLA had beaten the other two out west and all the other regionals beat themselves up to get to final four.
They dominated the final four because all the other teams had beaten each other up to get there. U Conn and Tennessee over the last 25 years of the women's have dominated. They host regionals on their home court and I don't care how good any team is how many championships can you win when you have to play on the best teams home court every year? How many championship could coach K and Duke win if they played most of their playoff games at home?
The womens game will not go to regionals like the men play until the NCAA can figure how to make money doing it. Notre Dame's best player is out this weekend so expect U Conn to win again.
Brian Goodwin went 1-4 Thursday in his first game in AAA. He struck out three times which is right now his biggest bug-a-boo getting him in a National's uniform. With his speed if he could hit it anywhere every a bat he has a chance to beat it out but not if you are walking back to the dugout after a K.
Will Danny Manning become the new basketball coach at Wake Forest? Those that can remember it Carolina thought they had Manning locked up to play for the Tar Heels until Larry Brown offered Danny Manning's dad a job at Kansas . Manning played at Paige high in Greensboro before heading to Kansas and winning a national championship his senior season.
I don't know whether you have seen this movie as of yet but I totally recommend that you go see the movie God Is Not Dead. I understand it starts this weekend in Rocky Mount. Last Saturday was a volleyball day in Virginia Beach for Campbell and Morgan came back home with us to visit with Holly Fryer. Sunday after noon we stopped in Smithfield to see it. Well worth the stop.
