Northern Region Matchup this week

bcb3 - agreed, let's see how everything shakes out with the other teams. Maybe others will chalk up 11+ runs tomorrow.

golf - I realized I read the post wrong that is why I corrected it.

Again, my point was, yes LB has a good team, but so do the other 3 teams. To run up the score against the weakest teams in the Pat district and say "boy those kids sure can hit", is not a true representation of what they will likely face. That's all.

I hear you about hitting against great pitching. LB usually see's every team's number one pitcher each game. But probably, just like in your son's district, there's not a pro prospect on the mound against you every night. Some nights, yes As far as running up the score, in those last two games, with both games going 4.5 or 5 innings, the entire starting lineup was pinch hit for after the third inning.

I guess I should not have used the term "run the score up" sometimes, it is not necessarily running up the score, it's just that the line-up can hit or the #1 is out.

Not sure who West Po's #1 is. Everyone is saying Annandale's #1 (Shubert) is tough - and once he is relieved it appears the wheels fall off the cart. WS - Wahl, WTW - McGuillicudy, SoCo - Harrison or Beal?
TC - ?

Harrison pitched a very good game for SC against LB.

For my money, LB is the best hitting team 1-9 in the Patriot.

No matter how you shake it, up to this point in the seaon, it appears as though WS, LB, SC, and WTW are coming out of the Patriot this year. From what I have seen, all four are capable of winning the region IMO.

SC plays TC tonight and then WS tomorrow. Beal had electric stuff in his last start and he may be slated to go against Wahl tomorrow night in what could be a great game. You may recall the last time these two met, it went something like 16 innings over two days before it was decided!

South County 6

T.C. 3

Woodson 5 - West Potomac 1
Home runs by Reilly and Lluy

McLean defeated Langley 12-1 in 5 innings. Buckley gets the win for McLean. Fitzgerald, Buckley and Cannon each with mutiple RBI's. McLean now 6-0 in Liberty District.

West Springfield 6
South County 1

Wahl complete game, double-digit Ks, felt like 15 or 16, easily his best outing of the season.

Herndon 8 - Centreville 7. Herndon comes back from a 4 run deficit in the 5th, scores the go ahead run in the 6th on a suicide squeeze and holds on for the win at home.

McLean Highlanders baseball team still undefeated in state play........From VA Preps.

Ranked #3 in the state (AAA) by VirginiaPreps.com the McLean Highlanders have yet to lose a game within the Commonwealth. Coach JT Thomas tells us "Our season is going pretty well so far. We're 9-2".

The only losses the Highlanders have suffered so far this season were in the San Diego Lions Invitational. McLean posted a 3-2 record at the event, with one of the losses coming in the championship game.

The leaders for McLean so far this season have included:

Riley Beiro = .555 BA, .737 OBP, 4 HR, 16 RBI, 17 runs, 14 SBs.

Lake Braddock at Woodson has the potential to be a very good game.

McLean beats Stone Bridge 2-1. Sean Fitzgerald gets the win for the Highlanders and Steve Putnick piched well for SB in taking the loss. Both pitchers went the whole way for their teams. Game ended with SB baserunner gunned out by Denis Buckley while attempting to steal third of all things. Seemed a rather odd decision, to say the least.

Josh Sborz and Ethan Gaba had SAC fly RBI's for McLean.

Yea...it was a disappointing way to end, but a well played game over all by both teams...

LB 5- Woodson 2. Lake Braddock hit two first inning homeruns to go up 3-0,and it looked like LB was going to crush Woodson.But it ended up a pretty close game. Lake Braddock hits and fields really well, and their pitchers looked sharp.

Swampboy, with Centreville screwing up it looks like Westfield is yet again the team to beat. Centreville has the potential though as they beat Westfield... Still havent seen Robinson yet, they could possibly be a dark horse.

woodson 10- lee 0 (6)

West Springfield 8
West Potomac 0

Herndon 11 - Robinson 10 in 10 innings.

Lake Braddock 14
TC Williams 3

Sophomore's Parker & Church pitch a good game for Lake Braddock. #32 for TC hit a monster home run in the 2nd inning.

Stone Bridge 5, Jefferson 3...

SoCo 7 @Annandale 6. South County perfect game thru 4.(didn't get pitchers name) Up 4-0. Annandale bats come alive for next 2-3 innings. What would have been game-tying run ends game in bottom of 7 with play at the plate on past ball (after monster 2 out triple by Jake Barnes). Looked real safe to the home crowd.. Good game to see.
