Region D Baseball Finals

Thoughts, comments, predictions?

I'm going with:
Kelly - 9
Castlewood - 3

Kelly is very tough but Castlewood has some big bats. They used everyone of them to beat Honaker yesterday. I just don't think they have enough firepower to beat Kelly.

Bleeding Blue, is Smith the pitcher that's been hurt all year?

Yes Smith is Coach. Had he been healthy, I would give CW a much better shot tomorrow and down the road.

did he have surgery and just now coming back? i thought he threw the ball really well wednesday for the brief time he was in there.

I don't know. I don't believe he did. Bleeding can answer that for you.

all four games so far have been highly entertaining. the haysi blowout the other night was even fun to watch. i can't wait for friday's game. isn't 7:30 a bit of an odd time for HS baseball to start? i love it though. i expect a huge crowd especially since the indians are in the finals.

I didn't see a blowout the other night. 3-1 going into the top of the 6th was a pretty nice game. The Norton-Honaker game was more more of a blowout I would say. Not really close at any point. Just the way I saw it. I think Kelly should win a close one tomorrow.

No, he didn't have surgery or anything.. He has a torn muscle in his back or shoulder or something.. He can only pitch an inning or so here and there. I would feel a lot better about their chances tonight if he was pitching but I hope they can make a good game out of it anyways.

don't be surprised if castlewood hangs right there with kelly.

**imported_BleedingBlue** · June 1st, 2007, 08:52 AM

Yeah it just depends on which team shows up.. They have been so inconsistent this year that it's hard to say how the game will go.. The 2 teams haven't already played each other this year have they?
