That's a valid point, but honestly I think North will start Tory Bowling against Middlesboro, he's a senior who has probably been their best pitcher this year when Griebel was out. I remember clearly in 2013 at South when North faced Middlesboro in the semis. North had one of their best teams ever with Marcus Carson as a junior and Zack Storm who hit 20 home runs or so, and they didn't throw their best guy that day hoping to get to the finals without him. Middlesboro hammered them that day, still one of the more disappointing losses in North baseball history, because they were really good that year. The starter for North that day--Taylor Bowling older brother of Tory. A fantastic kid and he was a good pitcher, but not the ace and he just didn't have it that day. Maybe a little family redemption on Tuesday?hh:

Wasn't that 2012? North beat Harlan County in the 2013 finals, I think.
