Two of the better teams in the area. Last year Minford won 12-10

Thoughts?

Don’t know much about Athens but from what I’ve seen so far they have some serious offense and score a lot of runs. Minford is really good. This would be a fun one to watch.

Hoping and pulling for Minford.

I’ll take a split if at Minford and an Athens sweep at Athens. Minford is great but think Athens offense too much. Minford’s speed is a factor though.

Both teams will probably run out of pitching. Weird to start the season with good weather

Athens can always bring up Matters and Ginder from the JV team.
They both are probably varsity players (pitchers) on most teams anyway.

2 of the best teams in the area. Should be a great doubleheader. Lots and lots of speed and offense could be on display if they are both deep into their staffs.

I agree. Pitching will be a problem for Minford in this DH. Minford will need to have fresh arms on Monday.

Minford has their 1-2-3 & 4 available for Saturday and play Northwest on Monday that they just mercy ruled in 5 so I believe you may be a little off.

Final in 11 innings

Athens loads the bases in the 11th with one out and comes up with none. Shultz comes up with a line drive hit to center field in the bottom of the 11th with two outs to drive in the winning run

Both teams agreed to not play the second game due to neither team having much pitching left. No surprise the game goes extra innings.

Wrong, we had one of our (2) #1 going. They were the ones that didn’t wanna play.

Weak. Almost everybody has a right or left arm!

Yeah, from what I was told by parents who were at the game, not only did they not play the 2nd - they may never schedule minford again.
