I don’t think Clark can beat LC. I think Lawrence hits the ball well and the teams know that. They will have to throw their best to beat them. But I think Pikeville throws Lakin against Paintsville because Paintsville is good enough to beat them.

If he can beat Paintsville giving up one run he can beat LC I promise.

Can Clark beat LC? Sure he can. The kid is really good but the question is can Pikeville score more runs off Blevins then LC can score off Clark? LC has a better offense than Pikeville top to bottom. Blevins is a better pitcher than Clark. So, I think if this game happens a slight advantage has to go to LC. 

P.S. with Blevins on the mound 1 run is enough about 90% of the time for LC to win. Blevins has given up I think 2 earned runs all year and only 5 total runs all year. Your not going to score much against him if at all so the opposing pitcher better not give up a crooked number. Also every starter in the LC lineup is hitting over .300 and LC has scored more runs than any other team in the region while playing less games than the other top 5 teams. Pikeville has allowed 3 fewer runs while playing one more game. Pikeville has the pitching but does Pikeville or Paintsville have enough offense to score more runs than LC with Blevins toeing the rubber. That’s the question.
