Northern Region Game Results

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

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.

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...
