Two Weeks To Make Season

Everyone has put the Easter Tournament games behind them and very few wins were feasted by Big East Baseball teams during the week.  First impression would think the three teams who play the best the next two weeks and wind up being the three teams who make the playoffs will not last long unlike the other two major sports football and basketball.

Hunt travels to Rocky Mount and for the Gryphons it will be their last stand should they lose.  They stand fifth and and have everyone ahead of them except Nash Central so should they finish 6-4 by winning all four games left.  If they can pull off that feat they just might slip into third.  Hunt part of the four way tie at the top needs to win to make the top three.

Northern  should have the easy game of the night as they travel to Southern Nash  Tuesday.  Southern gives up ten runs to everybody but Fike but if they can somehow slowdown somebody they can cause trouble the last two weeks.

The big game of the night has Fike meeting Nash Central.  The loser will drop out of third unless any one of the other two loss teams join them.  Once Tuesday passes then there is the second game of the week.

UNC lost   3-2 Friday to UVA and if the Carolina pitching rotation stays as it has Benton Moss will be the pitcher on the mound should they play the game at 1pm Saturday.  Rain is expected.  It is schedule for the ACC network.

The Pack finally scored some runs for Carlos Rodon and they beat BC Friday.

A couple weeks ago I told you here of the situation where a Fike batter thought he had walked on ball three and the runners on base slowly walked to second and three and the umpire made them go back to their original base when he made the batter go back to bat, well in a Florida State game this week the same thing happened and the dugout urged the Seminole defense to tag out the runner slowly walking to second to end the inning.
