They beat Lancaster 3-1 so it’s safe to say that they probably threw their best arm. Pioneers will still have all three of their talented arms if needed on Friday and Saturday. The Phillips kid was probably topping at ~88 tn. Buchanan is probably around 84. Then Barton is probably 80-81 from the left side with a lot of deception.

Phillips was a treat to watch yesterday for sure. Talk about honed in!

It's going to be hard for any team to beat the Pioneers due to their depth. The Pioneers won't beat themselves. They've got 3 strong arms and a rock solid defense  behind them. If they are hitting consistently watch out. Keep it going Pioneers, bring it home. They could won 2 titles in 3 years when all is said and done.

Did Lebanon and Rye Cove ever play in the regular season?

In softball they did with RC winning 3-1

 

In baseball they did not.

Three top arms and a very good defense will get it done.  That being said, I thought JB had a good shot this year and their 1-2 pitching combo wasn't enough.  I think Lebanon's will be enough to win 1A.  I look forward to them stepping up to 2A next year.  Let's go Pioneers.

Regionals only not playoffs for softball. Definitely didn’t play in baseball.

I don't think a Lebanon vs Rye Cove match up in baseball, would have been as good of a match up. Lebanon would cruise in 5 innings.

I agree
