Chancellor 2 vs. Spotsylvanina 15......
Talk about a team falling apart.....probably one of the worst games I have seen Chancellor play. There are times when this team looks like it has turned the corner and then it takes two steps back. Hope they can pull it together otherwise this is going to be a long season.
I think the team will be running a lot of poles at the next practice.

As most would expect with rain EV vs Culpeper Rain out.Make up date to be determined
Article indicates the game will start over. Too bad for the kids that put up some offensive stats.
KG vs JM was rained out as well. KG was well ahead at the time.
Shouldent spotsy be ahead of king George, and courtland ahead of chanceollo in the standings?
Yes.
This Global Warming is killing me! Another game wrapped up in blankets and a winter coat. 8 innings played, Culp squeaks by Spotsy 3-2. Spotsy pitcher did a great job for 6 1/3 innings creating pop ups and fly balls. 1-1 game until the fifth, costly error in RF gave Spotsy a 2-1 lead. John Anderson HR tied the game up 2-2 in the 6th. Top of the 7th, lead off walk to Butler SAC Bunt by Crimm & running on the pitch moves Butler to second. Butler goes to third on the throw to 1st. Throw to 3rd had the runner but bounces past 3rd. Butler scores on the past ball at the top of the 7th. 3-2, Butler gets the win in relief to B. Smith in the 5th.

Wow, great game between Culpeper and Courtland tonight. Good defense, by both teams. Great night and a solid high school ball game. Courtland 4 Culpeper 3.
Culp versus Courtland was a great game. Courtland game out to win from the beginning. Culp had a chance to tie it with a close play at home but Coach got a little conservative. Great pitching by Courtland, two nights in row with flat bats by Culp. As I said in the beginning of the season, there is no flexible starting lineup with Culp and that will keep them from a title. Too much depth with strong bats sitting on the bench. Nice win Courtland!
HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL ROUNDUP: Caroline gets winner in 10th
Caroline’s Alex Jeter hit a ground ball to second base that scored Jonathon Didlake for the game-winning run in the 10th inning as the Cavaliers’ baseball team topped Spotsylvania 2–1 on Tuesday in a Battlefield District game.
Lucas Weaver went 3-for-5 from the plate to lead Spotsylvania.
Didlake went 2-for-4 and had two runs and a stolen base.
Adam Desjarlais went nine innings and recorded 11 strikeouts for the Cavaliers (7–4, 5–3), who visit James Monroe on Friday.

Eastern View 8 vs Chancellor 4
Is EV really as good as their record suggests? They have lost 2 out of district games to not great teams, and they were losing 7 to 5 to culpeper. They are a good club, one of the better ones but are they really the team to beat? Or is this district going to be a cluster to the end?
I wouldn't put too much stock in non-district games. Teams usually don't put their best pitcher on the mound and quite often experiment with their line up on those occasions. Non-district games play no part in determining district rankings.
At this point, I'd say Culpeper and EV are the teams to beat. Unless Caroline, Courtland or Chancellor start racking up some wins to close on those two, it's Culpeper's or EV's district to take.
Friday's games should give a clearer picture.

Will KG upset EV? I doubt it, but you never know.
Can Chancellor stop their slide against Culpeper? After early success, the Chargers have lost 3 straight.
Courtland @ Spotsy - not sure though I think Courtland should prevail.
Caroline @ JM - I can't see Caroline losing this one.
I just don't think the pitching is as strong this year compared to 2012. Yes, some teams (EV, Culpeper, Chancellor, Caroline, Courtland) have some good pitchers, but overall I think the entire district is weaker. I could be wrong.
Assuming EV, Culpeper, Courtland and Caroline win tomorrow, it'll be a 4 team race with Chancellor, and Spotsylvania 2-3 games behind. Still a lot of games left and anything can happen.
Courtland wins over JM
In previous years it took at 8-6 record to be in top 4 with some 8-6 on outside looking in.Not sure how that will be this year.
I think EV is a lock to get in! Reference pitching - It appears each team competing has 2 or 3 solid starters but only a few have depth. If you can run the pitch count up then you may expose a weakness. I am curious which teams have the best offensive edge or defensive edge. I have not seen any fireworks of hitting against us nor many balls to the OF. Should be interesting.

In 2011, a 9-5 record was no guarantee either. As I recall EV, Spotsy and KG finished with 9-5 records. Spotsy and EV got the last two playoff spots while KG went home - lost out on the tie breakers.
It will not be anywhere close to last year either where three teams were tied at the top, and all three were separated by a few games against the rest of the field. I think you COULD have two teams pull away or there could be that one team that wins it outright without the tie. There are still 8 district games left for Culpeper, EV, and KG and I think 7 for everyone else. A lot can happen, in that amount of time. We should get a more clear picture over the next week.
Culpeper 13 Chancellor 3, six innings
EV 3 KG 0.
Spotsylvania 8 Courtland 1
In the standings Caroline is 6-3 and Courtland 5-4.
Any details on the Eastern View-King George game? Who pitched for each side?
Marc Antoz pitched for KG. Lane Ward pitched 6 innings in the win against Chancellor on Monday. EV is supposed to face Ward next Wednesday (at least I think, per Lane). AJ Stead pitched for EV.
EASTERN VIEW 3, KING GEORGE 0
Austin Huff had a hit and two RBIs, and Brandon Settle added an RBI-triple for Eastern View in a Battlefield District win.
A.J. Stead struck out 12 and walked one to pick up the win for the Cyclones (11–2, 7–0), who visit Courtland on Tuesday.
Lane Ward had a double and Cody Bell went 1-for-2 for the Foxes.

wscottr is this a predicition Caroline cannot be 8-3 in the district they still have at least 5 games to play in the district without any previous rainouts, and there are a maximum of 14 games in the district. Just wondering.
Yes and Courtland is 5-4 in district standings
Yes and Courtland is 5-4 in district standings
Updated the standings they should be correct now.
Thank you for the update. Actually Caroline is 6-3. Last week they won three district games: 1-0 against Courtland. 2-1 against Spotsylvania, and 18-1 against JM.
Another correction - To my knowledge King George has only two district wins (not three) - Spotsylvania and Chancellor. They were winning over JM but the game was suspended in the 4th inning due to weather. From what I was told the game will be continued on 5/14 when KG meets JM again.
Zeus - think the fields will be playable today? I know KG travels to Culpeper and EV visits Courtland.
Fields should be playable. They were yesterday. It was mist this morning, but nothing to really mud it up.
