7AAA BASEBALL 2012

[Sawbuck]

Going through the 7AAA thread, it's interesting to look at the predictions and how the district has worked out. Riverdale is the class of the league. Oakland is the only team, with one series remaining, that mathmatically has a chance to tie Riverdale (though not likely to happen). That was not predicted by anyone. I have only heard about rumblings from one parent at Oakland. The player could transfer at some point. This would hurt Oakland's pitching depth in the future. Like southpaw stated earlier, there are grumbling parents on every team. Hawks has gotten a lot out of this team. Certainly not a great hitting team, but their pitching has been solid. If Oakland ends up getting swept by Riverdale, the winner of the Smyrna and Siegel series would tie or even take second place all alone if they sweep. Not sure if being in second affects byes in the district tournament?

Going into the district tournament, Riverdale is the favorite. Second is up for grabs. I think that any of the teams have a shot. Not sure that Lavergne has the pitching depth to advance. Blackman needs to get on track. Martin is one of the better pitchers in the district, but hitting has not been consistent. Siegel is solid. Schultz can keep teams off the scoreboard. Smyrna may be the second most talented team. Good pitching, ability to hit the ball; especially at the top of their order. Oakland has surprised many. It is going to be a lot of fun.

First and Second place receive byes and every seed makes a difference.

 

In 7AAA the regular season winner gets an automatic berth in to the region. The regular season champion also hosts. So the site is now down to Oakland or Riverdale.

Here is a link to the tentative tournament bracket if Riverdale hosts and it is agreed on at the district meeting next week: http://www.riverdalewarriors.com/baseball/2012-district-tournament.pdf
