And down the stretch they come... The next 10 days should be verrryyy interesting as teams jockey for "playoff position" especially with so many games where currently closely "seeded" teams are playing each other... Could see teams try to play through rain more so than they normally would to avoid even more pitching woes. Will coaches stay on their current rotations and just let the chips fall where they may? Or will they juggle their pitchers to try and get a 'favorable' matchup (if there is such a thing this year)?
The rain on Friday seems to have resulted in a hit-or-miss with regard to playing. Missing results from NHIAA makes one wonder did Alvirne & Concord play? Salem & Belmont, MA?, Bedford & Londonderry?. I saw in the Telegraph that North beat Central in a 1-run extra inning game.
This week:
Spaulding has 3 long trips this week - Bedford, Merrimack, & BG.
Salem is on the road 3 times too (Alvirne, Concord, & Exeter) with 1 home (Andover)
Central & Bedford are either going to prove they belong in the mix of the top 10-12 teams or they fall into the bottom 4-6 teams.
It seems the current top 3 would be primed to stay where they are - the next jumble of teams could see either separation or further taxing of the brains of those that like to figure out where teams will be seeded based on NHIAA policies (good luck with that!)
