This will be an exciting week of baseball!!!

Tuesday begins the last series of what may be the best season in 7AAA in years.

 

Riverdale leads the district at 9-3 but have played in five (5!) extra inning games,

Winning 2-0 in 12 innings in the district-opener vs Smyrna, a 4-3 10-inning win

against Blackman, a 3-2 loss in 9 innings versus Blackman, and the last two

games with Siegel, a 7-3 win in 8 innings and a 8-7 win in ten innings.

 

Add to those a 1-0 and 3-1 win against Smyrna, a 2-0 win over Blackman and a

4-2 loss versus Siegel. A lot of games that could have gone either way.

 

Blackman (8-4) had those two extra-innings games with Riverdale, a 4-3 win over

Oakland in 8 innings, and a series with Siegel with 5-4 and 2-1 wins and a 3-2 loss,

a series of 3 one-run games. The Blaze also had a 9-inning 1-0 win over Smyrna and

a 2-1 win over the Bulldogs. Again, a lot of games that could have gone either way.

 

Lavergne (7-5) had a series with Oakland where they won 4-2 and 2-0 and loss 0-1.

They also had a 1-0 win over Siegel and a 3-2 loss to Smyrna

 

Oakland (7-5) - see Lavergne series above, had a 7-6 9-inning win against Smyrna,

a 1-0 win over the Bulldogs, and a 5-4 win over Siegel.

 

Siegel had those 3 1-run games against Blackman, the 1-0 loss to Lavergne,

the 5-4 loss and 0-2 loss to Oakland and the two extra-innings losses to Riverdale.

 

And Smyrna, the season of could-have-been....

 

2-0 loss in 12 innings, followed by a 1-0 and 3-1 loss to Riverdale.

a 7-6 in 9 innings and a 1-0 loss to Oakland.

 

a 2-1 and 1-0 in 9 innings loss to Blackman

 

and a 3-2 win over Lavergne.

 

Smyrna could easily be 8-4 right now. That is how

close the games have been this year in 7AAA.

 

This sets up a great last week of the season and

what may be the best, most-fun-to-watch, district tournament we

have had in years!
