D4 District Tournament

by Crab's Brother
7 of the top 8 seeds advance as only Manchester pulled the upset of Whiteoak.
St. Joe @ Valley
Manchester @ Huntington (?) (Does Manchester assume the 4 seed and now get to host?)
Those winners will play Monday at the VA at 3:00
Reedsville @ Symmes Valley
Paint Valley @ Clay
Those winners will play at 6:00 Monday at the VA.
With the 3 days rest, I am guessing everyone will have an ace available on Saturday for the semis. Will anyone try to save a stud for Monday?
Thoughts?

Game is at Huntington as far as I know. Not sure about who's throwing who. If I had to guess, id say St. Joe and Manchester throw their ace, not sure about Valley or Huntington.

Question?
Why does D4 get 3 days between games when D2 and D3 only get two days?
D4 can use the same pitcher in both games.

It goes to the better seeded team, so Manchester will travel to Huntington

When its all said and done, Eastern is gonna walk right out of Chillicothe 2. Historically SOC1 is weak compared to the Hocking

This isn’t exactly a “banner” year for the Hocking, though, so not sure why SOC 1 & Hocking are being compared that way when the SOC 1 might be better this year.

You may be right but I wouldn't overlook Clay or Paint Valley in Chillicothe 2. Symmes might not be as easy win as you think either.
The top 3 SOC 1 teams along with Valley, Paint Valley, Huntington and a few others I am probably overlooking are all very good. I like the confidence and I know Eastern is going to be a tough out but they can't overlook some of these teams.

I agree that Eastern Meigs is pretty good. Valley has two really good sophomore pitchers. Huntington and Paint Valley are capable with their best on the mound. Blanton threw Saturday.

If Eastern can keep up their ‘A’ game, they can win the district and a Regional game against the Chillicothe 1 winner. The year off hurt everyone, of course, but that and the late coaching change (still a solid coach) clearly had them behind the 8-ball and getting up to full-speed ‘A’ game wasn’t without some clunkers along the way.

Kudos to Huntington for how they have kept winning, especially with today’s lineup that they had to use. I’m not sure if they can beat Valley with their current lineup, but they’ll battle for sure

No one knows anything about eastern’s pitcher? Just wondering what kind of match up valley has tomorrow night. With most teams there’s a big dip from 1 to 2 usually because 2 is young not that they aren’t talented. I love watching these kids play just can’t find anything about who they’re 2 would be ??

Eastern played at Zane Trace a couple of Saturday’s back. ZT which was weak at the plate all season scored 17 runs. Eastern threw numerous pitchers. I think the only one that did not pitch was the shortstop who is their best pitcher. Actually though, the game was tied 9-9 in the bottom of the sixth. You could tell that Eastern is pretty good though and well coached. They swung the bat well and are pretty athletic. I think their record is 17-5.

I’m pretty sure the only pitchers Zane Trace saw were JV pitchers. Eastern had 5 games that week and the number 2 threw the night before. Didn’t play the field at all that day. Smith has had some big wins this year. Should be a good matchup.
