Eastern Region Softball Tournament

[Dave Johnson]

It's a bunch of days off, but here's the schedule and the teams as we know so far. Games to be played at Princess Anne High in Virginia Beach:
NOTE: Tickets are $7 for adults and $3 for kids 6-11 on Monday and Tuesday, $6 and $3 for Thursday. (There is no mention of kids younger than 6, who I presume are free, or seniors).

Game 2 -- 11:45 a.m. -- Southeastern I (Hockory) vs. Beach II (TBD)

Any thoughts on the outcome of these games. Here are my predictions.

Game 1 Churchland vs. Warwick: After seeing both play, I give the edge to Warwick.
Game 2 Southeastern I vs. Beach II: This should be Hickory vs Princess Anne. Though I haven't seen PA this year, I believe Hickory has the better team.
Game 3 Gloucester vs Lake Taylor or Granby: I think Gloucester will have an easy win over either Lake Taylor or Granby.
Game 4 Beach I vs. Southeastern II: I think this will be a Salem vs Great Bridge rematch of a 1-0 14 inning game won by Great Bridge earlier in the season. This game could go either way but I give the edge to Salem. Revenge is sweet.

So how does this work....Do the top 2 advance to State or is it just the regional Champs?

Top 2. Both team who advance to the championship game. The winner plays at home in the state quarterfinals, the loser plays on the road.
