Can Anybody Explain The Big East Baseball

We head down the stretch with each team having three games to go and when compared to football and Basketball Fike is the runaway leader.  They have a two game lead with three to play.  Let us ponder how this season has come to this point and you will see baseball is just like football and basketball.  It ain't over yet.

NASH CENTRAL: 3-12  2-5.... Started out winning their first two games.  Since then lost five straight conference games and four of those were by one run.  Imagine if they had of won those four they are 6-1.

SOUTHERN NASH:  6-10 2-5....Southern Nash lost their first four games all by one run.  Southern won all three games during the Easter Tournament in Wilson and have been a bad matchup for everyone in the Big East since.

HUNT:  3-4  7-8....Have won two games by pitching shutouts and have lost two by not scoring.  Have lost three in a row after starting 3-1.

ROCKY MOUNT:  4-3  8-6...  Have been shutout in their three losses.  Averaging 6.5 runs in their wins.

NORTHERN NASH:  4-3 8-8...  Three conference wins have been by shutouts and in their three losses they have given up six runs a game.

FIKE:  11-5 6-1...  Four of their six wins have been by one run.  They scored 15 in one game which is the only time all conference season any team has scored double digits.

Fike travels to Rocky Mount Friday night.  You could almost say as far as Rocky Mount is concerned this is their  shot at the top spot.  Only three Big East teams are guaranteed to be in playoffs.  If they fall back in the group with four losses they might miss playoffs.  They win and first is not out of the question.

Nash Central is at Northern.  You know this could be like basketball that 5-5 might grab the third playoffs spot.  Neither team needs to lose this one.  Northern can still win crown out right.  They don't have any wiggle room.

Hunt at Southern Nash..  Hunt is as close to not making the playoff as they have been since they joined Big East.  Southern Nash can still get to 5-5.  Another can't afford to lose game for both.

There have been 21 conference games to date with five shutouts pitched.   Three the winning team scored only two runs.  There is no doubt this league is dominated by pitching.  Every game rest of the way will be won by the team on that night has the best pitcher on the mound.

Wednesday the Big East held the conference Track and Field championships and Rocky Mount boys and girls win.
