I didn't keep track but I'll say this....I was talking to a few others as the game progressed about how his pitch count HAD to be pretty high.  He threw 7 of the 8 innings and had quite a few innings that were long.  He got out of trouble a few times where WB had runners on and going deep in counts.   I don't want to guess, but he threw more than I would have had him.   He looked good throughout, but you already know my stance on pitch counts and arm usage.   So....I've said enough. 

Still early but if the traditionally strong SED schools are any indication then the SED might be deeper than ever this year.  GF looks to have taken the step forward to real contender and IR, OS and KF are closing the gap.  

 

In past years NR might be in real trouble now but they will settle be a tough out by May.  After spring break we'll see what everyone has and find out if the SED is as strong as last season. 

Will the real Nansemond River please stand up?

NR over Hickory 6-3.

 

Hickory came out swinging and took control early, scoring three runs in the first two innings.  Eason breezed thru the first few until running into trouble in the 4th.  Sophomore Jarrett Henderson hit his first career HR, a two-run shot to cut the lead 3-2.  A few batters later, Matt Holt did the same, hitting another 2-run HR to center field to give NR a 4-3 lead.  NR would add a couple more insurance runs.  Michael Blanchard got the start and the win for NR, going five innings.  Matt Holt picked up the save.  There were several great defensive plays made throughout the game.
