Return To Conference Baseball Forecast Rain

What did you expect between basketball and snow and early season baseball rain why would you think that last week's Easter break where not one game was delayed by rain would hold up once conference baseball returned.  Hunt and Fike seeing the weather forecast moved their  Tuesday game to last night at Fike and in essence they played for first place in the conference standings.

Hunt 3-2 7-6 was at Fike 3-1 8-5 trying to beat the Tuesday rain. Junior right hander Brandon Winstead for Fike pitched a no hitter as Fike takes over first place in the Big East dropping Hunt to 3-2 after the first round of conference play while Fike edges ahead of Nash Central 2-1  who maybe plays tonight

Tonight weather willing Rocky Mount 2-2 and 7-6 will travel to Northern Nash 2-2 and 6-7.  I suspect Helms  and Carter  will toe the rubber for each team and since both teams have shown most of the spring so far I bet this will be a 2-1 game unless defense makes the gap wider.

Nash Central 2-1 and 3-8 visits Southern Nash 0-4 and  4-9.  Both the Bulldogs and the Firebirds have one stopper on the pitching staff so I see no reason why not put your best out there against a rival.

They begin the second trip with each team playing each other for the second time starting Friday.  Friday night May 1st which is 17 days away will be the last regular season game of the season.  Didn't they just play their first games of the season last week?

The ACC baseball has a month to go before the tournament in Durham.  If the ACC tournament started today Louisville would be first 16-2, Miami 14-4, Florida State. 11-7, the next five teams would be Carolina, Clemson, Wake Forest and Notre Dame  and Georgia Tech at 9-9.

State at 8-9 is not in neither is Virginia who finished second at College World Series  is 7-12.  Not one North Carolina team can say they will make it right now and could you imagine the ACC tournament in Durham  and not one NC school in it.  It could happen.  Can you see 500 showing up for the championship game featuring Louisville and Miami?
