Just got the decision on the game. It will be in Cherryville at Fraley Field today at 5:00PM. The early start time is in case that they don't get the power back on in time for a night game.

Was listening to Cherryville and Union Academy. I thought the announcer said the winner of that game would be playing Eastern Randolph, tomorrow (Friday).
If Cherryville can win, the game will be there (in Cherryville). I was told this morning that some of the town is blocked off due to damage. Here is a link from WBTV Charlotte:

The City of Cherryville is working to restore power and address the damage caused by severe storms that hit the region on Tuesday night.

Fourth round: Draughn at Uwharrie Charter and Eastern Randolph at Union Academy. Says a lot about Randolph County baseball.
On that WBTV link about storm damage in Cherryville, particularly where the large oak trees were down, Fraley Field (the baseball park) is just across the street. As a player for one of the Randolph County teams, none other than NC Preps poster theKidd12 played there against Cherryville Post 100 in the western regionals back when he was a young horse.

Yeah and both HS softball teams are still playing as well…
Oh orange/blue is in fourth round in 2A 🙄
And forgot to include Southwestern Randolph girls in fourth round of 2A softball.
Yes sir. I knew that one. It’s the ER boys/girls at Union Academy and South Stokes respectively that I’m wondering about coverage
I checked Twitter for the Union Academy/ER baseball game and was told no broadcast.
Yes sir. Hopefully this time it’s a wee bit quieter 🤷♂️
Uh…
ER wins 13-6…
Plays Uwharrie Charter for chance to go to SC…
WOW…

Blue and orange must have faced Nance tonight
I hope someone can answer a question I have about a play last night: Draughn had a runner on first with no outs and the batter bunts. The throw goes to first and there is a collision and the runners end up at second and third. The umpire on the bases calls interference on the batter, so he’s out but then the original base runner is sent all the way back to first. Why would he not have second on the play? With the throw to first he already had second made. When the hall is dead he can’t go to third, but why send him back to first?

First of the call was incorrect the first baseman had already dropped the ball before the collision so therefore there can be no runner interference at that point, but since the umpire called interference it’s considered a dead call and the runners go back to the bag they had before the pitch. One of the worst umpiring crews I’ve ever seen in the 4th round something has to be done about these refs/umpires their taking games away from the kids I seen it in basketball this past year now baseball it’s a Shame
I agree that it was a bad call but what I am saying is that the ball is only dead once the interference occurs at first by which time the runner already has second. You can’t advance once the ball is dead, but the play already sent the runner to second.
For those not there, the runner eventually scored so that had no bearing on the outcome, though the runner being called out at first could have potentially been the go ahead run.
Exactly in my opinion that cost Draughn the game it should have been 1st and 3rd no outs then Trey hit the double the run from first would have scored and given Draughn the lead and the game would have been over cause Blake would have shut the door in the bottom of the 7th
By rule….Each runner must return to the last base touched at the time of interference.
I guess that player had not reached 2nd yet.
He had second easily, but the ump calling the bases was looking at first and the plate ump was looking at second, so neither saw what the other saw (I was standing on the fence down the third base line). So they defaulted, but it doesn’t make any sense as the throw to first essentially conceded the runner going to second. The rule may be right, but it doesn’t make sense.
Wasn’t there. Didn’t see it. Going simply on y’all’s description. No runner can ever benefit from an interference call, therefore lead runner must return to base occupied at start of play.
That makes more sense, but to me the benefit of the interference would have been going to third. I wouldn’t have any questions if they would have just left the runner at second.
Also wanted to let everyone know third round on crews are made up of neutral umpires and not from area of hosting school.
For the poster who said “something has to be done” and “they’re taking games away” find out who assigns refs/umpires and sign up for job!!!
It’s all about perspective
I am umpire thanks, one bad call is ok but when you have 3 questionable calls on the same team come on man, when the other teams coach stops and talks to you after the game and he says i quote I hate to see the game get called like that they should let the kids decide who wins he goes on to say they missed 2 big calls
Charter coach talked to you? I honestly don’t know him. Knew the one before who allegedly had to leave. If you strap it on then I apologize for my comment. Usually guys who do aren’t as critical as those that don’t. But if you say it was egregious then I will take your word for it. Again just going by y’all’s accounts
Yea charters coach talked to me he’s a pretty nice guy, and yea as a umpire I’m usually not to hard on some of the calls but those couple last night was just awful and the bad part was they wasn’t confident with the calls they were making as a umpire right call or wrong call at least be confident in what your calling
Sorry about the controversy in Charter game. As a result however the two 1A teams from the PAC7 will face off to see who represents the west in SC…
Don’t think anyone saw that coming.
Don’t think anyone saw that coming.
Even though I think that would be very cool…
I’m sorry but your track record at forecasting makes me nervous…😂
