  Bill Booker said IVC, which won a regional title last year,
• 1:58
  plays a schedule full of larger teams. We will hit
• 2:00
  the road to play a very good IVC team. Bookers
• 2:04
  said their record hovers around ero point five zero zero,
• 2:07
  but their schedule is loaded and they play mostly three
• 2:09
  A team during the season. They're very athletic and can
• 2:13
  pitch it. Rockridge which went twelve zero in the Three
• 2:16
  Rivers Conference West Division, last won a regional in twenty
• 2:20

  zero in Three Rivers Conference East Division play and also
• 3:14
  beat Mammoth Roseville thirteen three. Hall lost nine four to Almen.
• 3:19
  Anybody can beat anybody. Hall coach Tom Keegan said, sounds
• 3:23
  like coach speak sounds like cliches, but that's a fact.
• 3:26
  We'll see Monrose. They've been hot as of late. We
• 3:29
  saw them a few weeks ago at our place. It'll

• 5:24
  twenty two. The Panthers were upset in a home regional
• 5:27
  final last spring. Putnam County won five of its last
• 5:30
  six games entering the postseason. I feel like we are
• 5:34
  in a good spot right now. Heading into the postseason,
• 5:37
  PC coach Chris Newsom said, we have a few practices
• 5:40
  in store for us before we start tournament play, so
• 5:43
  hopefully this allows us to clean up some loose ends
• 5:46
  mentally and get as close to one hundred percent as
• 5:49
  possible physically. Over our last ten we are six to four.
• 5:53
  Of our losses, two came to Marquette, one to Hall,
• 5:56
  and one to Saint Bede. All three of those teams
• 5:58
  are twenty plus win two team tames. PC ended the
• 6:01
  regular season with a fifteen to one win over Bureau Valley,
• 6:04
  a possible semi final opponent. The Panthers beat Annawan Weathersfield
• 6:09
  ten seven and eight innings and split with Midland lost
• 6:12
  seven to three, won thirteen to one. In Tri County
• 6:15
  Conference play. Postseason is a different animal altogether. Newsom said,
• 6:20
  we could ten run a team in the regular season,
• 6:23
  but if we don't play well in the postseason, we
• 6:26
  could very well lose to that same team. You just
• 6:29
  hope the experiences and lessons learned in the regular season
• 6:32
  pay dividends by preparing our guys for whatever postseason throws
• 6:36
  at us. Next winner moves on to the Putnam County
