Looking back and ahead

Wednesday is usually a down day for scheduled games, but we had a few worth mentioning...

--#6 Christian County got a nice win over Evansville Harrison (IN) 3-2. The Colonels are one of the three teams to watch in the 2nd region; #3 Henderson County and #14 Hopkins County Central are the other two worth watching this season.

--#9 Manual defeated #19 Male 2-0 in another 25th district showdown. We'll be watching this district all year long, as I have deemed it to be the best district in the state. Male has also played district rival Mercy this week, beating them 9-3 in 8 innings.

--Speaking of #17 Mercy, they bounced back with a 7-0 win over Fern Creek.

--Want a fast start? Try Shelby County, who has played three games in three days and won them all. With Scott County exiting the 8th region for the 11th, look for the Rockets to be favorited in the 8th region.
