Most Homeruns This Year...So Far

[Indian]

Sequatchie has 9 as a team, leader with 4. Opponents have hit 7 combined in 28 games. Opponents include some pretty good district teams-Hixson, Notre Dame, Chattanooga Christian; Class AAA Beech, Mt Juliet, Morristown West, Bolton, Rhea County, others; and pretty good A-AA teams York, Sale Creek, Whitwell and an Alabama team that won its Hendersonville pool. Probably the second least successful team on the schedule hit one of the seven two weeks ago, a team I'd rate just above them hit one of the seven a few days ago. Haven't seen the ball fly out a lot, maybe with more than 28 games there would have been more (several were called off due to makeups). Mt Juliet had two, Whitwell had one, Hixson had one, I want to say Rhea County had one.

Of note...and this could be interesting. Brentwood has a bunch of homeruns but so does Beech (who they play this afternoon). I was told from a Hendersonville parent that the Beech first 7 batters have almost 40 homeruns this season...including their Play Day Tournament prior to the season opening. Do not know how that stacks up with other teams, but that is a crazy number. I do know that Brentwood has a number of homeruns this year...but not that many.

 

I may be wrong but I have seen a spike in homeruns this season. I wonder if it is the development of the girls, the bats they use or the pitching they face? If I were guessing I would think it would be the first two because pitching in Middle Tennessee seems to be really good.

 

Should be a GREAT game.
