Stelley Posted May 25 Report Posted May 25 Softball #1 Lebanon vs #4 Battle #2 Central vs #3 Marion #1 Lee vs #4 Tazewell #2 Richlands vs #3 Union Baseball #1 Lebanon vs #4 Central #2 Union vs #3 Va High #1 Battle vs #4 Tazewell #2 Richlands vs #3 Gate City I could see every game other than Battle going either way. Lebanon should beat central but based off what I’ve seen Central is probably the best hitting team in the region (probably has double digit homers as a team). Union is overall better than v high but Union tends to like to beat themselves by making boneheaded decision. Foy is the equalizer with how Union struggles against left handers Battle should probably run rule tazewell Gate City has beat Richlands twice early in the season by small margins but Richlands is also playing a lot better now. Still would probably give the edge to GC Another factor to consider is that Central and GC will not have played in abt two weeks. Resting for that long is hard at this point during the season because you can lose focus so easily Quote

Unchained Posted May 29 Report Posted May 29 Poor baserunning costs Union big time. Still 1-0 Bears as we go to the 4th. Quote
Unchained Posted May 30 Report Posted May 30 Defensive errors, just had a runner slip that would have scored to make it 2-0. Definitely deserve a loss this evening. Still 1-0 Union. Quote
Unchained Posted May 30 Report Posted May 30 Up 3-0 in the 7th and Central coughs up 4 and loses 4-3 Quote
BigWinners Posted May 30 Report Posted May 30 So Battle v. GC and Lebanon v. Union on the other side. Gonna be a barn burner. Quote

Unchained Posted June 3 Report Posted June 3 Baseball offensively around here is tough to watch. I miss the days of solid, consistent hitting. Yes, there's some good arms, but like last year, Union is struggling to score runs, and they're not alone. 1-1 bottom 5th. Quote
Unchained Posted June 3 Report Posted June 3 Bears blow 3-1 lead, lose to Lebanon 4-3. Thank God baseball season is over with for us. Bring on football! 🙂 Quote

Bring on football! 🙂 Wouldn’t necessarily say they blew it. This was actually the first time in a couple of games Lebanon played like the better team the whole game. Leb had traffic on the bases all day and had quality at bats against a solid tandem of pitching. Union gets two runs on a bunt single a soft groundball that bounces off of the bag and a “single” that should have been caught, beauty of baseball. If y’all don’t beat Graham in football at least your baseball team is far more successful than theirs. Quote

Union baseball will hit next level when they commit to hitting the baseball and that takes tons of cage work in the offseason. Trust me as a JJK alum I understand this well. The pitching is going to be great, but the offense has got to improve as well as cutting down on the errors. Quote

D1 Softball Final Eastside 9-0 over Holston. Will play John Ira Burton for the region title. D2 Softball semis Lee defeats Richlands and Wise-Central wins over Lebanon. Lee Vs. Wise-Central for region title. Battle has been playing good baseball here lately and should be the favorites. Questionable if Lebanon should be here at this point in the season. They haven’t been playing the greatest but have still managed to make the state tournament for the 6th year in a row so who knows what could happen, baseball is a crazy game and there has been plenty of crazy things happen throughout the state in the past two years. Breeding will likely get the start for the first time against a quality opponent, he has been brought in against some good teams and has been pretty dominant. Gobble will be available since he threw 47 last night. Chilhowie should also be the favorites but strolled to the championship game against some weak opponents and eastside has played some good games against 2 good opponents. Seen it happen numerous times where the better team rolls in their thinking they have it in the bag because they haven’t played anybody that respectable and loses to a team that has grinded their way to that point. Eastside and Burton both have the ability to win this one and I am intrigued to see the final. Lee and Central both advance after beating two quality teams in Lebanon and Richlands. Should give the edge to Lee but Central has been playing good ball Quote

Should give the edge to Lee but Central has been playing good ball It should be a good game. The region tournament showed the difference between the two districts. Richlands had no offense, especially against the better teams on their schedule. You would think that with as many travel ball helmets that stepped into the box, they would have been a little better at the plate Quote
1inStripes Posted June 4 Report Posted June 4 Lee Central Richlands and Lebanon all are really young as well. Lebanon picks up a strong young player in Huff next year. Lee returns everyone. Richlands returns most of their talent. Im not sure Central has any seniors. Next year could be really interesting again in 2D softball. Quote
