I seen the updates. I noticed Cherryville toward the bottom. I know they usually have a pretty good team. I just wonder the same thing just before I saw your message.

The meeting is this Friday. That meeting will decide the pairing and teams playing.

I wish they would just do the top 4 teams on each side. It'll be interesting to see what happens Friday.

They will be using pool play which I don't like! Bring back the double elimination!

 

[BleedBurnsBlue]

They will be using pool play which I don't like! Bring back the double elimination!

I think there are pros and cons to it. I truly think that pool play is the best way to determine the best team. In double elimination, one bad break, or game could ruin your chances. Pool play allows a little wiggle room. Also tells us who has the most pitching depth, which is huge for regionals and world series.

 

[smashmouth5]

Cleveland County over Asheville 7-4. CC finishes 1st in Area IV West.

 

[smashmouth5]

Cherryville was winning 4-0 in the 7th. If they hold on, they will finish 2nd.

Cherryville won 6-0

That's crazy. They were down in the dumps. They're getting hot at the right time. Congrats to Cleveland County. Nice to see them have a good season. Hope it continues in the playoffs.
