Non-Conference Games Not All About Winning

This weather has everyone on equal footing that nobody has had enough practice time to have any idea what their team will look like two weeks from now.

Northern looked impressive in their shutout of Adam Weavers' Corinth Holders team Tuesday.  Northern played for the second time on Wednesday.  Since I am enjoying the ACC Tournament I know nothing about the Wednesday baseball action  other than scores.

So far Nash Central is 0-2 but they have been against 4-A power Rose a loss 7-6 and a 2-0 shutout loss to 4-A South Central.  I don 't put much in the losses as much as the Bulldogs held their own in both games and they could be dangerous by conference season.

Southern Nash has took it on the chin twice losing 15-3 and 12-0 in their first two games.  We have no idea at this point that once every team has had a chance to get a flow and get pitching established what might happen.

Rocky Mount only put two players in the field that played last year, shortstop Forest Bell and pitcher Blake Helms.  There is no way to have any idea whether a 12-2 win is a sign of good things to come
or  they are too young to be considered a contender.


The Gryphon game on Wednesday was rained out in the second inning and will start where they left off next Wednesday with Bunn leading 2-0.


State and Carolina both advance in the ACC tournament and both are  in action again today.  Carolina takes on Louisville this afternoon  while State and Duke play tonight at 7pm.  Got more exercise yesterday between walking from the parking lot and up and down the steps of the coliseum  than I have had all year.
