With a win, the wildcats would have beaten every Washington county team this season.

Marietta- 9
Waterford- 0

Marietta with their sectional game Thursday, threw their best 2 pitchers. Waterford with sectional game Tuesday did not.

I was also confused as to why Marietta threw there two best.

Marietta with a game Thursday has more then 3 days between does not keep them from pitching in sectional game. If Waterford threw one or both of their best pitchers Tuesday would be the 3rd day. May be why the pitching decisions were made for this game.

Especially if they threw two pitchers to split a game. That actually is a great way to get work in before the tournaments.

I assume it was played as a dry run for their tournament games. If you have a 1 and 1A pitcher and a 5 day break between games why in the world wouldn't you?? Also wasn't the pitcher that threw against Marietta the same pitcher that won vs Warren earlier in the year?

I wasn't confused when I wrote this. I tried to lay out why they did what they did, based on how many days until their very important sectional opening games, which I thought was the right thing for both teams. Just trying to illustrate why the score may have been lopsided.

No. The pitcher who beat Warren was Devyn Farley. Waterford pitched jv player Isaac Wagner. He has made a small amount of appearances in varsity
