Clear As Mud

The only thing we know for sure is that Northern Nash doesn't have in a worry in the world come this Monday.  Neither does Southern Nash who if they beat Rocky Mount they are stuck in  6th for next week's tournament regardless.

Do now know why we couldn't fine the Nash Central- Southern Nash  game results.  They didn't play.  
Southern had their Prom Friday night. They tried to play Thursday but got rained out.  They played that game last night.  Five teams in the Big East  think  they have a shot to make the playoffs.

Saturday night the Firebirds of Southern Nash beat Nash Central 6-5 to win their first conference game of the year.  During this second cycle the Firebirds have been very competitive in every game unlike the first go round where they were being mercy ruled.  Nash Central has had a rocky road ever since coach Guzzo got the five game suspension. This lost drops Nash Central into a 4th place tie with Rocky Mount at 4-5.  There is still a chance of a three way tie for fourth.

Northern has the best overall pitching.  Their defense is average and their offense is so so.  Hunt of the conference members has the best hitting but defense and pitching doesn't scare anybody.  Fike has average pitching, defense and offense.  Nash Central has one great pitcher and the rest are average.  Their defense and offense like everyone else in this league  is wishful thinking.  Rocky Mount right now since they have gotten production from Blake Helms on the mound has as good of pitching as Northern.  Their defense at times has been poor and just about every game they have had the opportunity to get a big hit and failed.

The tournament next week is Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.  Northern and whoever finally gets the two  get byes Wednesday.  Every team with the game on Monday plays three times and if you hope if you are seeded  three through six and think you can win the tournament you will have to play four times to win tournament.  There is one thing for sure anybody can win it.

Benton Moss the junior right handed pitcher for the university of North Carolina has for the second year in a row made been named to the All District All Academic team.  Benton carries a 3.85 grade point average. Moss made as a freshman the freshman All American All Academic team.
