Yep no more throwing that same pitcher almost every game as some have done before pitch counts.I don't think there is a cinderella with the pitching rules. I will be surprised if it is not a two team race between Murphy and East Surry in the West because they both have the pitching, with East Surry having the edge in pitching. I think teams without 2 really good pitchers just have a complete uphill battle to make a deep run.
East Surry will have their hands full if they play North Stanly in the 3rd round. Dogs have a potential tough 2nd round game looming against South Stanly.I don't think there is a cinderella with the pitching rules.

I think talent wise this year's team is for sure better than last years. The boys from last year's team all pretty much returned so there was a year of improvement, and they also brought in three impact players (two transfers and a freshman). But anything can happen in a one game scenario. Just ask Murphy's last unbeaten regular season baseball team: 'Dogs heavily favored against West Wilkes but 'Dogs ace has an off night and West Wilkes pitcher throws a gem, West Wilkes goes on to win state title.Murphy was very fortunate in the playoffs last year. Uwharrie had a 3-1 lead going to bottom of 6th and 5-3 lead going to bottom of the 8th. Murphy answered each time, and got the winning run home in the bottom of the 9th to advance 6-5. North Stanly and Murphy went to game 3 with the Dogs winning a very tight game 2-1. Single elimination games can make an exceptional season turn into a dismal one with one bad outing. I think i saw on MHS athletic fb page State Champs or Bust. Talk about pressure lol
Which one is that?Told North Stanly lost one of their top pitchers for the playoffs. Won several in the playoffs last year. They might be in trouble early on in the brackets.
Howard kid is out. Article somewhere about it.Which one is that?
