Richland lost to Central 15-4... looks like all 4 AA games were blowouts today. Anyone know a Somerset/FH final?

Central beat Richland 15-4 in 5 innings. Central got 13 runs in the 2nd inning. Bald Eagle beat Bellwood Antis 14-0 in 5 innings.

District Semifinal Matchups:
5 Central @ 1 Mount Union
6 Bald Eagle @ 2 Westmont Hilltop

In the Westmont Marion Center game, David Mcklosky pitched a 4 inning perfect game striking out 9 of 12 . Then Jon Valchef came in to finish it off in 5 striking all 3 out. Westmont also had there sticks rolling scoring 12 in the first inning. Every game was a blow out this round, so this next round should get very exciting. Predictions?

somerset won 7-5. FH would be a tough team if they actually had a coach. Carpenter is horrible. For example, I think it was top 6, FH has guys on 1st and 2nd and no outs with the ninth batter in the box, score at the time was 6-2. Luke Gallaher is on deck, already hitting a 2 run HR in his 2nd at bat I believe and hit a long fly out his first time out. Carpenter choses not to bunt and sacrifice runners over, this results in a ground ball for a double play. Next batter Gallaher hits another 2 run HR. FH gets on the board in the 7th with Roberts hitting a solo shot. FH basically lost the game for themselves. Dropped flyball with bases loaded that lets 3 runs across, Roberts hitting in the 3 hole, led off 3 out of 4 times at the plate, Roberts walked on 4 straight balls, and next batter swings at first pitch for a double play. All of the mistakes that were made were basic fundamentals/game situations that I feel fall back on the coach. It is frustrating year after year when the talent is there, but the coaching staff isn't. Last year FH had some solid pitching and we not able to transition that into wins. Maybe it is time for a change.

I hate picking all the higher seeds so I'm going with some upsets in AA. Even though Philipsburg got crushed by MU on Monday, I have a gut feeling that Central can pull that one out and upset the Trojans. The Dragons have put up 27 runs in their 2 playoff games and I think they can score enough against the MU pitching staff. As for scoring runs BEA has outscored their 2 opponents 28-0 in 2 games and seem to be rolling right now. Sorry Westmont but I think the Eagles will be too much and return to BCB to defend their title. Good luck to all teams and I look forward to some exciting baseball!

BEA already pitched the ace monday.. im not sur about your predition on the hilltop BEA game

Robinson could and may pitch again tomorrow, however even if he doesn't pitch the Eagles offense is clicking on all cylinders right now and should be enough to win in my opinion.

how good is westmont?

There pretty good. they have 4 very good hitters, Valcheff, Mcklosy, Keklak, and Legath. There pitching is not that bad they can hit there sports. Defensive wise there solid good defense all around.

i predict the 1 and 2 seeds will face off in the d6 AA championship
