So it is less than 2 hours away from the Tattnall and Mount de Sales baseball game to see who is the region champion and I felt like I would go ahead and make a prediction.
That always seems to piss someone off.
Now I know that MDS has eight seniors on their team and a coach in Bubba Pool that has done a great job in leading the Cavs to a great season.
Great seasons in any sport at De Sales is a big thing, because well , they just haven't won much lately.
But that's another story.
MDS will throw one of its two aces, Adam Leverett today, while Tattnall used Garrett Houston against Stratford.
Will that make a difference ?
I believe it will.
Both teams have bigger fish to fry as they will head into the state tournament with a chance to make noise. Tattnall always makes noise while DeSales doesn't.
So in my eyes, this is just another game for Tattnall, buts its the biggest game of the season for Mount de Sales.
Ok Ok I know what you are saying. How is this not more than another game for Tattnall? Well these kids have played so many big games over the last two seasons that this is just another one. Joey Hiller will throw several kids and I hear a kid named Matt Blair will start. I admit I don't know much about him but maybe I will after this game. But they surely could have beat Stratford without throwing their number one.
This is Joey Hillers way of putting another kid in a pressure situation, to have another kid (or two) ready to pitch a big game later on down the road.
Tattnall can hit from 1 to 9 and have a possible high round draft pick next year , plus a catcher that will probably be highly recruited. Simmons, Ham, Laskey, and Marchman and several others will put runs on the board, but Leverett is a quality pitcher. Will they score enough on Saturday ?
The only thing stopping me from picking the easy upset is that De Sales had prom on Friday night and kids will be kids.
But the 2 pm start time should be enough and I just think this game means more to the Cavs than it does to the Trojans.
So I will pick it
MDS 4
Tattnall 2
and Joey Hiller will just beat them up and come back and win state.
