Dinwiddie beat Monacan 5-2 last week.

or is it baseball and different guys pitch on different days?
- I promise that when Nick Christopher pitches for Dinwiddie they are as good as advertised.

When he pitches will Dinwiddie score more than 5 runs on a team Matoaca scored 18 on?...in 5 innings
I haven't seen either play this year, but I think its hard to compare them. Matoaca returned every starter and most of those guys are multiple year starters. This is the year that they've been waiting for. A better comparison to Dinwiddie this year would be Thomas Dale. Both are pretty good, but lost some key guys last year. Whether or not either is capable of hanging with Matoaca remains to be seen. We'll find out soon enough. Matoaca started like a team that believes they are #1. I guess what is scary is that Matoaca pitched their 3rd or 4th pitcher vs. Monacan....
TD opened up yesterday with a 6-0 win over Varina. Cullen threw a no-hitter with double digit K's. Dale struggled a bit at the plate, though.

Matoaca is pretty scary once they get healthy- TD seems to always find a way to knock them off.
Last time it was "matoaca's year" it was Monacan that knocked them off on their way to a State Championship
Matoacas biggest challenge may be seeing consistently good pitching during the season leading up to the Regional tournamnet-
Wonder if Matoaca and MAnchester play in their tournamnet over Spring Break?...that could be a real showdown

Matoaca won the Region in 2006 beating Monacan. They lost to Oakton in the first round of the States.
The teams in Manchester's Spring Break tourney are Manchester, Thomas Dale, Tucker, and Kellam. I'm guessing that Matoaca still plays in the North/South tourney. Lee-Davis and Matoaca match-up would be a good one...
If you have the schedule for that tourney, please post it. Thanks!
Not sure if you meant the North/South or Manchester but here is the schedule for Manchester's Tournament:
Monday April 5:
10:00 a.m. Tucker vs Thomas Dale
1:00 p.m. Kellam vs Manchester
4:00 p.m. Kellam vs Tucker
Tuesday April 6:
10:00 a.m. Dale vs Manchester
1:00 p.m. Dale vs Kellam
4:00 p.m. Tucker vs Manchester

1:00 p.m. Dale vs Kellam

Manchester - Dale will be good if they throw Cullen
Yeah, One would expect a Morrison and Cullen matchup on the mound.
Prospective VCU pitchers, interesting matchup.
I guess anything can happen at that bath-tub sized field at Manchester, which should prove to be all the more exciting of a game.

That's pretty much what happened when they played last year. TD hit 3 solo shots off Hauser, but that was pretty much it. I think the final was 6-3 Manchester as the Lancers strung together enough baserunners and came through late in the game as Cullen tired a bit.
