Bring On The Semi's

Today completed the pool play phase of the Babe Ruth 13u Southeastern Regional going on in Greenville.  Nash County has been in the American bracket and today met Tallahassee Florida with the winner getting the number one seed and loser the second seed.  Both teams were undefeated and regardless both are into Saturday play.

Tallahassee beat  Nash County to win the top seed 6-2. Earning the top seed they play the number two seed from the National bracket To be determined at 10am Saturday.  Nash County the second seed plays at 1pm at Guy Smith Stadium in Greenville for the right to play the 10am winner

The other bracket the National has Greenville NC the host team unbeaten in two games and they play tonight at seven Against  Sarasota Florida who is1-1.  Earlier today Union County North Carolina beat Augusta Virginia 11-0 and Union County and Virginia are 1-2 in bracket.

If Greenville wins tonight and remains undefeated they grab first seed and play the two seed  Nash County from the American. If Sarasota wins they win the bracket and Greenville gets the two seed.  If Sarasota loses then there is a three way tie at 1-2 and the team that gave up the least runs gets the two slot from the National bracket.  Should know around 9:30 tonight what the brackets will be for tomorrow's semi's.

Sarasota beat Greenville 9-3 and that will move Greenville to the 10am game against Tallahassee while Nash County will play Sarasota and the two winners playing each other at 4pm for the Southeast Regional championship.

It is getting serious now as Nash County is two wins away from heading to the  Babe Ruth World Series this year being held in Jamestown NY.  Jamestown is in western NY 150 miles south of Buffalo about 120 miles from Pittsburgh around 120 miles from Cleveland.

Here is how Saturday works the first semi is at 10am the second at 1pm winner take all Southeast Regional championship is at 4pm Saturday.  So by losing today in order to win the regional Nash County must win a double header Saturday.  If they win both I think I am right when I say this it would be the first Nash County team to make it to the World Series since 2005.  Once again I think three years in a row 2003-2004-2005 Babe Ruth Nash County made it to the World Series three straight years in different age groups.  They finished 3rd - 2nd- 2nd those years.
