South Lenoir wins IF:

The Blue Devils win off their defense behind their freshman ACE pitcher Jade Sasnett. Don’t get me wrong, SL is a strong hitting team and good quality at bats will very important in this game against one of the top pitcher in North Carolina. Ultimately, SL wins if they show up and compete every inning like have all season.

Eastern Wayne wins IF:

This is prolly the most scary #27 seed ever. Eastern Wayne has one of the best pitchers in the state with Mallory Reed. EW wins if Reed dominates at the PLATE, Reed will pitch a great game but she will have to be her teams main source of runs as well.
