Don't know if Snyder can pitch or not.He went to Dyersburg as a freshman fire baller and moved back to Lake Co where he started at QB.Tore his labrum.So not sure if they ever pitch him any. Lake County is a good team. I didn't say they weren't. I said in a 1 game & done situation this can happen but I just don't think they are good enough to beat a deeper Gibson County team in a Best of 3 series. 2 hours ago, shockernation said: I’m truly struggling to see opinions such as Gibson County would have won a series etc? Gibson Co was a great senior heavy team (6 I think) and had several chances to win last night! Squandered opportunities in the 7th 8th 9th and 10th but it was the same for the Falcons...that’s baseball! GC had 5 hits in 10 innings and neither team hit the ball well...compliments to both pitching staffs! Everyone in LC has been waiting on this group to start producing like we knew they could...maybe a year earlier than some thought? In single A when you have 2 great arms it’ll get you a long way! LC is probably the biggest team you will see and not a speedy bunch but a ton of gritty guys! I’d also say a great group of young men! Hats off to Gibson Co...hard for anyone to lose that one! Study before we start the upset mess because I saw two very equally matched teams! There really are no what I would call MAJOR upsets at this time of the year. That's unless you get say a team kind of like the Lookout Valley loss to Harriman. Harriman was a #7 seed in their own District tourney while Lookout Valley was #1. That's an upset when you combine that with their overall records. Would it have been a MAJOR upset if TCA lost to Union City? I would say in between a mild & MAJOR upset because Union City was in the state tourney last season. Yes there are upsets but it's 1 game! That's what makes these games so tough. One & Done! I also agree that all these 1 run semifinal games are certainly due to each team pitching their ace pitchers. However, not ALL of the Regional Semifinals were low scoring games either. Most of them were but not ALL of them with still 2 more left to play today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you only have one LC will not last. TCA is loaded with pitching. Doubt you will even see our #2 tomorrow. Not short changing you guys. Just think they will save for state. Good luck.

Don’t worry we used our 1&2...10 innings was a back breaker! Trust me we know who the favorite is but this is far from the team y’all saw earlier in the year!

I’m just glad we are relevant in baseball again! Safe travels tomorrow! Note to TCA fans the road to the field is out so use Parnell St to Hamra St to Vaughn Drive...we are giving you guys the scenic tour no additional charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to go back & find out because I've looked up so much information about a lot of teams both baseball & softball. Not saying you're wrong either. I just thought it was Harriman baseball. I bet it's the softball team instead. I will find out soon though which team pulled this off. Edited May 15, 2019 by tonybologna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonybologna Posted May 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Here are my picks for the Regional Finals since they're all set now: Region 1-A: Greenback over University High (UH could pull off mild upset) Region 1-AA: Greeneville over Elizabethton (close game) Region 1-AAA: Science Hill over Tenn. High (Toppers are HOT!) Region 2-A: Harriman over Wartburg (Harriman playing better) Region 2-AA: Alcoa over Pigeon Forge (close one) Region 2-AAA: Farragut over Hardin Valley (could be run rule game) Region 3-A: Gordonsville over Monterey (3-5 run win) Region 3-AA: Signal Mountain over Loudon Region 3-AAA: Bradley Central over Soddy-Daisy (mild upset) Region 4-A: Eagleville over Grace Christian (5-10 run win) Region 4-AA: Sequatchie County over Grundy County Region 4-AAA: Riverdale won Region 5-A: Columbia Academy over East Robertson (close one) Region 5-AA: Hendersonville over Station Camp (upset) Region 5-AAA: Greenbrier over Sycamore Region 6-A: Loretto won Region 6-AA: Nolensville over Forrest Region 6-AAA: Summit over Independence (mild upset) Region 7-A: Trinity Christian over Lake County (5+ runs) Region 7-AA: McNairy Central over Chester County Region 7-AAA: Bartlett over Arlington (Arlington very well could take this game) Region 8-A: Middle College over MAHS (5-8 run win) Region 8-AA: Covington over Haywood (another possible run rule game or at least 5-10 run win) Region 8-AAA: Collierville over Houston (Collierville & Farragut are probably the 2 best teams in Class AAA) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The district those guys play in is a mini region with 9 teams and the top 5-6 seeds are tough in district play just about every year. Both Harriman and Wartburg are loaded with juniors so it should be a good one tomorrow and both will have a shot at being in this game again next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
