Just getting over my sunburn from sitting out all Friday afternoon!
BCA expected to see great pitching from CA and got it. Knew it would be the best staff they had faced all year. The top part of the order made adjustments and had some success, while the lower part of the order struggled most of the day.
BCA made some uncharacteristic errors; I don't know if that was first-time playoff jitters or what. I will say this in BCA's defense - they were missing two starters because of injury, although I honestly don't know that that would've changed the outcome.
Very good, competitive games, which hopefully will help BCA grow. There are no seniors on the team (or at the school), so if everyone comes back they should be in the hunt again next year. I know Nat Greene and Westminster both played a lot of young guys this year, and TJA is always solid, Curtis Baptist joins the region next year, know nothing about them. I feel sure BCA will schedule as many solid higher division schools as they can to help them prepare for the pitching they will see in the playoffs.
CA/WW should be a great final series; good luck to both teams!
