We played Southeastern at LCC this year. I played at Southeastern a couple of years ago in fall ball... don't remember the field much. Plus it was the fall so I doubt the field was lookin sharp like it does in the spring. Rockingham plays at Rockingham County HS still.... not real nice to play at.

Here's my opinion on the fields that we vistited this year.....

Spartanburg-Methodist's field wasn't what I expected. Outfield was very rough, not a bad infield. No fences on the side. Below average dugouts and below average bullpens. If you've been to Hickory's legion field, that is what it reminded me of. Steep hill behind homeplate that rounded the field with the cement bleachers behind home plate.

Louisburg has a nice field. Very short to right field, and actually pretty short all around. Big wall in centerfield.... good playing field and nice dugouts/bullpens.

Surry CC had a nice field. Played slow from what I remember, but nothing rough. Home dugout was nice with the attached locker room. Visitor dugout nice as well. Good bullpens on both sides.

Blue Ridge wasn't bad. Real nice dugouts, decent bullpens. We played there at the beginning of the season so my memory doesn't bring me back much. It was real cold though.

We played Wilkes and Southeastern at home, and travel to Pitt to end our season tomorrow.

Our homefield is nice in my opinion. Good playing surface, spacious dugouts and quality dugouts on each side.

Not sure about Southeastern or Rockingham's records.... Sorry.

Oh yeah... NCSU had a pretty decent field, and so did Grainger Stadium (home of Kinston Indians, Single A).

I agree with JM15 on the fields. As for Southeastern's field it wasn't very nice the last time I saw it. It is run down, but has the potential to be ok. They have a nice scoreboard in center that is the eye piece of it. RCC's needs to get an on campus field. That HS field they play at is awful. Congratulations to LCC, especially JM15 for his fine pitching performance against Southeastern! Good luck in the series. As for D1 they finished the regular season like this (not sure of the exact conference records):

(1) Louisburg vs. (8) USC-Salkehatchie
(2) Surry vs. (7) Wilkes
(3) Spartanburg Methodist vs. (6) Rockingham
(4) Pitt vs. (5) Blue Ridge

Looks like a great tournament to me with some very intriguing first round match ups!!! Good luck to all the teams.

The facilities their are MUCH IMPROVED the past season under the direction of NEW Coach Stoney White! I look for it to be a showcase diamond/facility in the state before the next year or two! Watch and seeeee...... :xyzthumbs

It is rainin like crazy now, but Game 2 of the Best of Three is schedule for today, 4:00 @ Mt Olive. I will keep yall posted. :applause:

[Braves]

What a great thread. I loved reading about the fields. I thought it was funny that the one area Jere described best were the bullpens.

Good luck to LCC and hope you get to Maryland

[JM15]

Haha, I love a good bullpen.

Game 2 got rained out today with Southeastern.

It will be made up either Sunday, Monday, or next Saturday... whenever this rain stops.


Me and some of the boys played wiffle ball in the rain for about 3 hours today. Lot of fun.

[JM15]

Game 2 rained out again today.

Tomorrow, 4:00 @ Mt Olive College

JM---what do you know of your new signee--JJ House, Williamston HS

[JM15]

We won the Region X D2 title today by winning 12-0.


I haven't heard much about him. Heard he is a good strong athlete... I am sure he will help us out. We lose several outfielders next year.

Kudos!!! What kind of numbers have the Hundley kid posted this season????? :thinking: :thinking:

[JM15]

Hundley was a student-assistant coach this year. He used this year as a redshirt year to get his credits so he could transfer to a 4year school. He got things right in the class room and is ready, set, go, for UNC-Wilmington. He works out with us, runs, throws, lifts, etc... He has been 88-91 on the gun during his bullpens. Nasty slider, nasty changeup. Perfect control.

[The "O"]

One of his more potent and profound abilities was to keep ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the hitters off guard with his ability to uncork a wild one once in awhile! :xyzthumbs
