Top 10 Games For September 29 With Statewide Schedule

Dennis Brunson hssr.com Associate Editor • Sep 29, 2023

Region play kicks into high gear with several marquee matchups on the slate

Andrews (4-2) at Marion (5-1)

 

          This is the Region 8-AA opener for the two teams expected to be in the battle for the region title Marion is ranked sixth in the High School Sports Report Sweet 16 AA poll, while Andrews is No. 13.

 

Ashley Ridge (5-0) at Fort Dorchester (2-2)

 

           This is the Region 7-AAAAA opener for these teams. Ashley Ridge, 5-0 and ranked 11th, is looking for a signature win. That is something sixth-ranked Fort Dorchester can provide.,

 

Beaufort (4-2) at Philip Simmons (6-0)

 

          Beaufort is the defending AAA state champion and has won four straight games after losing its first two. The Eagles are ranked 14th in AAA while Philip Simmons is ranked 10th with a 6-0 record. This is the Region 8 opener for both teams.

 

Chapin (5-1) at Lexington (4-1)

 

         These games usually determine the pecking order from second place on down in Region 4-AAAAA. With defending state champion Dutch Fork off to a 2-4 start though, the region title looks like it could be up for grabs.

 

         Chapin has won five straight games after getting hammered in its season opener by Irmo. The Eagles are ranked 15th in AAAAA while 4-1 Lexington is ninth.

 

         Hartsville (4-1) at South Florence (5-0)

 

         It looked like this would be a battle of unbeatens before Hartsville got taken down by Irmo two weeks ago. South Florence is the defending AAAA state champion and is ranked second in the state, while the Red Foxes are ranked fifth.

 

         The winner of the game will get early position for winning the Region 6 championship.

 

Hunter-Kinard-Tyler (6-0) at Blackville-Hilda (5-1)

 

         This is another showdown in Region 4-Class A. Hunter-Kinard-Tyler is ranked eighth in Class A while Blackville-Hilda is ranked ninth.

 

         Both teams are 2-0 in region play, so the victor in this contest will be firmly entrenched in the driver’s seat for the region crown.

 

Latta (6-0) at Lamar (3-3)

 

           Latta is 6-0 and ranked third in Class A. The Vikings will get to prove just how good they are when they hit the road to take on perennial Class A power Lamar.

 

         The Silver Foxes are 3-3 and ranked 12th. Their losses have come to AAA Dillon, AAAA Airport and AA Andrew Jackson.

 

         

Spartanburg (4-2) at Byrnes (5-1)

 

         This is the Region 2-AAAAA opener for these two teams and it could be a preview for the upper state championship game. Byrnes is ranked third and Spartanburg is fifth with region foe Gaffney in between at No. 4.

 

         Westside (4-1) at Greenville (3-2)

 

         Though this is the Region 1-AAAA opener for these teams, it very likely could be the game that determines the region champion.

 

         Westside is ranked ninth in AAAA while Greenville is ranked seventh.

 

         White Knoll (5-0) at River Bluff (5-1)

 

         This is another one of those Region 4-AAAAA contests that takes on greater meaning with Dutch Fork slow out of the gate.

 

         White Knoll is 5-0 and ranked eighth as it has been obliterating its opponents. River Bluff is 5-1 and ranked 14th.

Summerville loses on forfeit over pitch-count rule violation

By Billy G. Baker Publisher Moncks Corner — In a Lower State AAAAA softball play-off game continued from a second inning rain-out the night before, (May, 15), between Berkeley (19-9) and Chapin (22-8) , the home standing Stags won a pitcher’s duel 2-0 to advance to play Summerville on May, 17. The Stags have a tall order on their plate needing to defeat the top-ranked Green Wave twice in order to advance. The state championship series is scheduled to begin on Monday at the upper state champion s home field. Game two will revert back to the lower state’s team home field on Wednesday. If a third game tie-breaker is needed it will be played at neutral site on Friday (May, 24). After the win Berkley head coach Kelly Dillon shared some thoughts with the HSSR. “In my tenure at Berkeley this is our third trip to the Lower state finals and I am so proud of my team and the adversity they have overcome this season,” said Coach Dillon. “We have had some adversity with the weather and we lost one of our key players to an injury recently ( Savannah Scott ) and we have remained tough and focused on our goals anyway. “We played small ball in the bottom of the 6th because when you need just one run to win you play to win,” said Coach Dillon. “I am very thankful; for a great bunting team. Every time I have asked for it to be put down, they have put it down so I am very proud to our commitment to the cause.” ( Courtlyn Cox delivered a perfect bunt that advanced the runner into scoring position in the bottom of the 6 th inning.) “We know we have a challenge going over to Summerville on Friday needing to win two games and you never know what might happen,” said Coach Dillon. “We are hungry and we are on a mission and we are playing moment to moment so we hope to at our best on Friday.” Chapin head coach Cal Sayger is wrapping up his 7 th season at Chapin. ”we have been fighting the weather all during the play-offs,” said Coach Sayger. “We just made too many mistakes in this game tonight. We have the program on sound footing. We have won back-to-back region titles and I very proud of the commitment all of our players have made to the success tour program.” Coach Sayger is saying good bye to four seniors. They include pitcher Aspen Mayers , Ella Maychiva k, third baseman Andree Dircks , and outfielder Alexia Evans . “These girls have been in the program since the e8th grade a d they will be missed,” said Coach Sayger. The game remained scoreless until the bottom of the 6 th inning. The Stags Rileigh Ballentine led off with a single to center field. Courtlyn Cox’s Sac bunt moved Ballentine over to second base. She moved over to third, on a passed ball, while Brooklyn Moon was batting. Moon singled in Ballentine for the first run of the game. Ansley Riddle then doubled, barely missing a home run against the fence in deep center field. This hit put runners at second and third with one-out. An RBI ground-out by Camden Valicek scored Moon to give Berkeley all the runs they would need to win the game. Berkeley pitcher Reese Watson worked all seven innings, allowing only four hits. Watson’s six strike-outs in the game now gives her 201 on the season in 120 innings pitched with an ERA of 1.20.
