Almost Halfway

Tuesday's round of Big East  baseball is the halfway point in  a baseball season that has just seen warm weather for the first time this week. Rocky Mount who found the win column for the first time Friday faces a week where their entire season can go up in smoke when they play one of the teams tied at the top and the other beat them first time around.

Tuesday Northern Nash visits Rocky Mount and on Friday Nash Central comes to the Gryphon campus.  Five of their last six conference games are against teams that are ahead of the Gryphons in the standings.  A winning streak in middle of the season would come at the perfect time for the Gryphons.

Northern tied at the top can't get any higher with a win  but a lost and they could fall into the middle of the pack.  You know there always seems to be one team who continues to win while others stumble.  Northern just might be that team that keeps winning.

Nash Central plays Southern Tuesday and Friday at Rocky Mount.  So far Nash Central is unbeatable when Tyler King pitches and play Southern Tuesday do you as coach Guzzo try to hold Tyler King to Rocky Mount on Friday?  You know Rocky Mount wants King to pitch Tuesday.

Fike and Hunt are the other two teams tied at the top so one will walk a way Tuesday with their second loss.  If Northern beats Rocky Mount there will be two at the top with one loss.

Tonight U Conn plays Kentucky for the National championship tonight.  Over the weekend the college club championships in Triathlons were held in Arizona.  NC State coached by a member of the family Brooks Doughtie finished 21st  which is the highest the State club team has ever finished.
