Eastern faces winner of Fisher and Centerburg in the Sweet 16 in Lancaster. Opponent isn’t determined yet because the GCC/Centerburg semi-final wasn’t completed until tonight (was supposed to be played Monday.)

What do those teams look like?

Both teams are really solid. Centerburg is better, though. Centerburg has played a very tough schedule thusfar; imagine a very solid D4 playing in the SVC (Scioto Valley Conference) or TVC-Ohio and faring well. They have three very good players and a remaining core who is solid.

Fisher has two very good pitchers and a good 1-9 batting order. The issue with FC is they strand a LOT of runners in scoring position.

Sounds like Eastern vs Centerburg would be a great matchup

Centerburg is good! They had their hands full in the district as they beat Grove City then knocked off Fisher Catholic. Eastern is in this game for a reason and I look for it to be one to remember. No doubt in my mind they can win!

FC got doomed in the first inning. Two passed balls enabled Centerburg’s four runs in the inning. Go-ahead run from Centerburg made possible because the FC right fielder took a step in, instead of a step back, on a fly ball in deep right field (I estimate 365 feet, as that corner is 380”) and dropped it because he got out of position. FC coach had his (very good) DH hitting for the center fielder, who is playing D3 ball (Capital) next year, instead of... well, let’s not go there. FC strands 7 RISP to Centerburg’s 1 RISP stranded, and the Irish out-hit the Trojans 12-6 and had zero errors to CHS’s two.

Aggravating loss to say the least. But, that was a great game to watch if you were a baseball fan. Lots of credit to Centerburg, though. That is a very good team. #20 is one of the best player’s I’ve seen in recent years... he’s a good southpaw.

(At least I won’t have to read the “private/public” rehash for the 206th time if it were FC/Eastern. Fourteen seniors for FC... ouch!)

Eastern beats Toronto 5-4 and will represent the southeast district in Columbus.

The Toronto part ain’t happening.

Obviously Eastern was not the best team in the league this year after getting beat by whiteoak. I bet whoever made this thread feels like a total idiot now...

League yes, state no. However a great season.

Reedsville is in the TVC and Whiteoak is in the SHAC.
