I'm a die hard Engineer fan just as much as you are and I believe they'll win region as well but I do not think they will mercy rule neither Perry Central nor Wolfe County. Perry Central only lost 3 players from last year and returns the pitcher that held Estill to 2 runs in the region semi-final. Wolfe County is starting to play better competition that will get then ready for post season. They should breeze past the 55th

Not even that I'm a die hard fan, I have just seen Estill play most of their games over the last 8 years and know how they perform. Estill does not play cupcake games. Yes, it is easier for them to travel and play teams of better competition because of their proximity to Lexington and its harder for those deep EKY schools to do that, but it prepares Estill for what they will face in the 14th. Do I think they will mercy those teams? No. But I feel they are better and will win the region again, making it like 6 in a row? Could be wrong on that.
