While it looks like Thompson, CC, and Kindred all participated in the East West event last weekend, all the scores are not reported. Looks like Kindred won two (at least) of their 3 scheduled games, while CC and Thompson won all three of theirs. Thompson appeared to have some trouble with Velva, but the rest of the games for CC and Thompson were blowouts. Thompson travels to CC on May 11 and Kindred plays in Thompson on the May 13. Is Thompson the team to beat in the north valley area? BTW, CC will play in Kindred on April 27. Their earlier game in Casselton was won by CC 4-2.Flip wrote:Any thoughts on the season thus far? I'm wondering if maybe this is the year Thompson can beat the powerhouse schools down south.

Next time I'll know enough to set up in the bleachers instead of ground level. I hate shooting through the backstop screen, but I guess it's better than a clear shot from the side.

After CC completely shut down Dickinson's batters, Thompson was really getting good contact on a regular basis. I think CC made almost as many errors yesterday than they had in all the other home games combined, and let a couple of golden opportunities in the 6th and 7th slip away, and Thompson takes a 7-6 win.

vikingman wrote:Two previous meetings, each team winning by 1 run. In the first game, Thompson was making good contact against Lindstrom (mostly singles), but 3 or 4 of their 7 runs were unearned. Second meeting was a 2-1 win by CC. I guess that makes it more or less a toss-up tonight.
I should probably go back and check previous tournament scores before making this statement, but just from memory it seems that the western teams have done better this year than in previous years. They won two on opening day, and nearly knocked off CC. CC was fortunate to win both of their games so far--they were down by a run in both until late. That hasn't happened in previous tournaments against the west.

O/U total runs 5.5?
There have been some low-scoring games. I would expect that today as well.
