With Wall having its lone division loss to a good Ocean team, Wall should not have moved down to No. 3.
When are the Shore Conference Tournament seeds finalized and when will they be announced?
The cut-off date for selection will be Monday, May 14, 2007 at the conclusion of all afternoon games. Seeding will be conducted on Monday evening, May 14, at St. John Vianney High School at
7:30 PM. - per shoreconference.org
wall is good but they dont have the hitters that ocean has, rozenkranz, hinkle, weinkofsky and normans bats have all been extremely hot recently and theyve been on like a 6 or 7 game winning streak.. it was cold out the first time ocean played wall, give them a break, ocean does deserve it.
You don't need 4 good hitters, in fact, Wall has put up atleast 12 hits in each of their last 5 games, including against Hinkle.
Also, there is probably not a better overall defensive team in the Shore than Wall.
In order to beat Ocean you have to pitch to all of them and hope to get them out, walking one or any of them will get you in hot water fast...The only losses for Ocean occurred when the other teams chose to pitch to them ALL and got them out
wall's coach refuses to pitch to keith cause keith beat him the psat two years.. dont hate, appreciate.
