Great to see LB participating in something like this with big-name private school and even better to see them clean up the event.

Score one (actually two) for the public schools/Northern Region on this day!

T.C. Williams 15 Wakefield 3

T.C. had contributions from the entire roster. We have Woodson next. That will be a tougher test.

More specific..claim one for Lake Braddock...they played very well, as expected...no other Northern region team contributed...

From your perspective ...maybe...but there is a VAST difference between Wakefield and Woodson...beat Woodson, then post proudly. You have to know why....come on...keep it nice... I sincerely wish you well...I know and like some TCW folks!

dblemup, thanks for letting me know there is a "VAST" difference between Wakefield and Woodson. Wow, I am sure others are happy you cleared that up for them too. Not looking to post proundly either, just posting a score. Finally, glad you like us folks at TC, we feel blessed and please, continue to share your knowledge with us.

There, I kept it nice.

Naah, I'll let you do it...I probably won't see TCW play much this season. Good luck ...

Personally, I do not think it is even necesarry to point out the fact that Wakefield is of lesser quality then Woodson. That is pretty obvious. no more pointing out obvious facts...dblemup wont like it and will fire back with smart a s s comments...

Bruin - I gave your team its well deserved credit (read above)...some thin skin up in that northern region...

I thought novabball's original comment about Woodson being a tougher test than Wakefield was legit--he was enthusiastic about what TCW had shown so far but acknowledged it's too early to get excited. Nothing wrong with that.

And I thought dblemup's "ya think?" comment was mostly playful. Nothing wrong with that, either.

Unfortunately, each took the other's comments as personal and replied in a manner that quickly became unmistakably personal.

Larger context is that both novabball and dblemup are solid contributors here who make the Virginia forum better.

Let's move on.

I was just kidding...agreed on the "let's move on" part.

I know most teams start district play this friday. Other then Lake Braddock vs West Springfield, what are some other so called "big" games this week?

I say so called because the season is young and definetly no game this early has huge implications on anything.

Fairfax is at Madison tonight

Westfield 12
Woodbridge 0

South Lakes 5
Langley 3

McLean 3
Marshall 0

Lake Braddock over West Springfield 7 - 5

I'm looking forward to seeing Lake Braddock vs. South County... with Beal throwing for SC it should be a good game. Anyone know who's throwing for LB?

I'm guessing Towns.

Wash Post has a nice video from Friday's game...Rogers pitched in that one, so I too would guess Towns...

Well Towns vs Beal should be a good match up. Fun to watch...

I take Towns in that match-up

Towns vs. Beal straight up you choose Towns or is it because of LB bats too?

This will be another great early season matchup much like LB vs. WS was on Friday.

I give the edge to LB on Tuesday, mainly because South County has only played ONE SCRIMMAGE thusfar due to weather cancelations. They have not seen game action since an early March scrimmage vs. Mt. Vernon. LB has already hit the ground running, having already played some of the best teams in the area.

As far as Beal vs. Towns, flip a coin. I think Beal has better 'stuff' and has a bit higher upside as a pitcher. Towns is an infielder first, pitcher second. But that's not to say that he isn't capable of shutting down a good offense. He has experience in big games and is a very smart player.

Tuesday's winner may very well end up playing for a region title, but, it is still very early and South County will be taking the field for the first time in a game that counts. No matter the outcome, both of these teams WILL be chasing titles at season's end.

Not so fast, guys. South County plays tonight at West Potomac (game was rained out on Friday). I doubt that one will be a gimme. Lake Braddock at home on Tuesday, then at Woodson on Friday. Should be an interesting week.

I think we have all of the Northern Region results from last week, plus this week's top ten ranking and the schedule for this week (there are some BIG games) on our free board over at VirginaPreps.com!


AAA Baseball Board

South County should handle West Potomac easily tonight.

I'm going to see Hayfield vs. Edison (nice local rivalry given their very close proximity) tonight, though I'd expect Hayfield should be able to win easily...but I could be mistaken.

Any updates on West Po vs South County

I heard 13 - 0 after 5 innings. No ten run rule this year...

Final -- South County 15, West Potomac 4.

...and judging by that score I think it is fair to say that WestPo is not quite ready for prime time. I think we will learn a lot about the Patriot after tomorrow night's finals are in. Woodson at West Springfield in a matchup of last season's state representatives from the Northern region, and South County at Lake Braddock, in a matchup of what could very well be this year's...

Hayfield beat Edison 5-0.

why no ten run rule? This will inflate stats significantly given many mismatches that occur. I doubt coaches will make wholesale lineup changes, so many games will get ugly.

Agreed, Spartan. A good example is the Hayfield vs. Falls Church game that was played a few days ago. Final score was 36-0. Who benefits from a game like that? I don't see any positives that could have come out of that for either team.

36 - 0?? Why no 10 run rule is a good question, indeed. Isn't that up to each district, though?

The 10-run rule requires that you play 5 innings. (4 1/2 if home team leads.)

W T Woodson over West Springfield 7-6.

John and Joe McGillicuddy combined on the mound for Woodson. David Rozner went 3 for 4 with a 3 run Homer. John McGillicuddy and Joe Brendler each had 2 hits. Pitchers for West Springfield were Williamson and Snook. Garrett Wooddell with a 2 run homer in the 1st. Trump was 3 for 4 and Snook and Hauptle had 2 hits each. Good defense from both teams - very exciting game to watch!

Oakton 11 Loudoun Valley 1

Counted only 11 players on Loudoun Valley, one coach, one team manager.

What was the deal with the WTW assistant coach's behavior after the game last night? First, he went directly after the home plate umpire and loudly berated him, then during the coaches' handshaking after the game he almost got into a fight with the WS coaches with a lot more yelling going on.

And this was after they won the game -- I would hate to see how he acts after a tough loss!!

I realize that he was arguing about what he thought was the wrong call on a check swing/third strike that would have ended the game a moment sooner, but I was surprised to see a coach behaving in such a manner. Seems quite irresponsible to me.

Would someone explain to me what is going on with the mercy rule this year. South County is winning by 13 at the end of five innings on Monday night and they keep playing. Annandale is winning by 10 runs at the end of five on Tuesday night and the game is over. It is the same league, why different rules on different nights?

Stone Bridge beat Madison last night 10-9 in 8 innings. Not a pretty game - several errors on both sides of the ball, but quite exciting...I'm not sure anyone left the stands early despite the temps being around 40 degrees...

Editing to add regarding the 10 run rule...Both of Stone Bridge's first two games were won via the 10 run rule...the first 14-0 over Jefferson in 5 complete and the second a "walk off" 11-1 over South Lakes in the bottom of the 6th...

Berry....Wtw assistant...heavy set guy?

Yes

Beat West Potomac 15-4, Lake Braddock 12-5 and Woodson 11-4. Some pretty impressive run totals. I know they faced Towns(Braddock) and Hough(Woodson). Not sure who pitched for West Potomac, but read that South County had 17 hits that night.

Sullyfan ??

I expect that SC is going to have a lot of weeks like this one before the year is over. They are a great-looking team. Few if any holes anywhere.

Swamp, who pitched for Fairfax? Looks like ie was a good, tight match. Pitcher's duel?

Vanderplas went the distance for FFX and was simply awesome. SBHS junior Mocabee also threw a complete game and was also very good. Three hits for both teams, a great pitching duel.

13 Ks for Vanderplas. West Springfield was lucky to have faced him early. I remember Mocabee from travel ball playing with 12 year olds when he was 10, and he stood out then! Nice to see he's having a good HS career.

Yorktown 10
W-L 4

That leaves Hayfield and Yorktown the only teams unbeaten in National play going into their matchup Tues at Yorktown.

Yep. Very impressive week for SC. Extremely well coached team with some stud Seniors. Not sure who pitched last night vs. Woodson, but Frazier was as good as it gets against WP. Heard he pitched again vs. LB. The only question with SC is who their third pitcher is...if either of their top 2 go down, that could be a problem.

Frazier pitched at least the first six innings. Was very effective keeping the Woodson bats quiet most of the night. Rozner did have a couple nice hits. The coach calling the pitches was working backwards and keeping the hitters off balance. SC looks very good. Woodson has some very good arms but must pick-up their fielding (5 or more errors) and get some more balanced hitting...IMO

So apparently Frazier has a rubber arm. Next week is another three game week.

Westfield 9 PVI 1

Beale was the pitcher for SC vs. LB earlier in the week. Frazier started against Woodson and pitched the first six innings. Was relieved by Josephs for the 7th inning.

That is correct. I believe Tyler only pitched a 1/3 of an inning in the LB game on Monday. I know Beal had thrown 104 pitches entering the sixth and ended up throwing 129 pitches before Tyler came in to relieve him. Mike Perez finished the game at pitcher.

129 pitches in his first outing? in 40 degree weather? Wow...

Hayfield beat Wakefield 12-6, COLD night for baseball! They are look great and are off to a great start...

South County over TC Williams, 9-2.
West Springfield over Lee, 10-1.

It was cold Friday night when they played.

Westfield is a pretty solid team and I'm sure there will be folks talking as the year goes on Swampboy...Our guys generally play them (scrimmage or game) every year...in this year's scrimmage, we were up early but they came back and won late...

I'm guessing most games will be rained out tonight...I've heard several being rescheduled for tomorrow...

NICE game by your son the other night!!! You had lots of folks around, sorry I didn't get over to say good bye...we also had a minor "crisis" caused by my other son that we had to deal with...

See ya at our place in May!!!

South County 7
W. Springfield 4

Simko and Beal duel to a 1-1 game into the 6th. In the SoCo 6th, Bondurant and Perez go back to back, Egbert a 3-run shot later in the inning to put it out of reach. Rector also went yard for SoCo earlier.

Simko pitched very well for WS and deserved a better fate. This observer thinks he was left in about 4 batters too long. Beal wins without his best stuff (4 hits 6Ks 5BB 2HBP on about 100 pitches). Bondurant and Rector each had 3 hits.

Does Simko have college baseball plans for next year?

Lake Braddock over Lee 15 - 1

From what I've seen of Simko, he would be an asset to many college teams. A confident, smart, and effective pitcher on the mound. Plus, he has a wicked pickoff move.

Simko is uncertain at this time. He turned down a D1 that was not his fit. He has several schools interested but is looking for the right fit.

Nice to hear good things about a quality young man. Best of luck to Mikey...

Oakton comes from behind for the second night in a row and beats Chantilly 13 -8. Last night they beat Herndon 12 - 6.

South County 20, Lee 0 (5)

W. Springfield 14, Annandale 6

Stone Bridge beat Langley 3-1 on Wednesday...

I hear it is already raining in parts of the area...Not sure if we'll get to see baseball tonight or not...

Hayfield beat Yorktown 5-2 to stay undefeated and take sole possession of 1st place in the national. Hayfield got all 5 in the 3rd, 3 were unearned. The teams combined for only 11 hits but 22 Ks, Hayfield's hitters had 6 hits, 12 Ks.

WS 7
TC 0

Williamson CG 2 hitter

West Potomac 15
Lee 7

Trenchard 4-4 with a HR, 2 Triples, 7 RBI's
Murray, 2-4 with a HR

Who can fill in the blanks for one regional bracket:

P1 vs L4
C? vs N?

W-L 4
Hayfield 1

Austin Evans pitched all the way for W-L.

Coupled with Yorktown's 15-4 win over Stuart, Hayfield, W-L, and Yorktown are tied for 1st after one lap around the national.

Great game, very well played by both teams. I got there after W-L got 4 runs and then they were shut down cold by Hayfield. Hayfield put many batters on base in subsequent innings but superior defense and things just never quite coming together kept W-L on top. I don't recall seeing a single error but I saw many, many great plays by both teams.

Oakton 8 Centreville 7. Oakton overcomes some baserunning errors and field errors to edge Centreville on a bases loaded walk in the bottom of the 7th.

Lake Braddock 7 - TC Williams 6
LB escapes with a win.

Hayfield 26 - Falls Church 0 last night...36-0 and 18-0 earlier this year...abit rediculous IMHO...
