St Marks has had one if its worst seasons in 15 years. Yes, a 12 win season is pretty bad for St Marks. In 2013 they only won 11 (FYI they still won the championship that year) and in 2006 they only won 10 (god forbid). Before we speak of their demise, St Marks did play 13 games against the other playoff teams, going 7-6. And lets talk about post season play for St Marks….St Marks has played in 36 of the 48 state tourneys since 1970. They have played in 106 post season games, emassing a record of 85-21. They have played in 20 championship games, winning 14 TITLES (next best is Sallies and Newark with 6 titles). This season St Marks has been in a lot of tight games. 13 of their games were final scores of 3-runs or less (8 of those were 1-run games). Their hitting has been lite this year though, only scoring 4 runs per game on average. But on defense they have been pretty stellar. They have only allowed 38 total runs, that’s barely 2 runs per game on average. And in only 2 games this season, have they allowed more than 3 runs. That’s pretty awesome. Ludman and Sullivan are very good and have kept them in games.
St Georges is a little hard to figure out in my opinion. They are hitting the laces off the ball. They have scored 200 runs this season, that’s 11 per game. And they have allowed 72, which is 4 runs per game. You have to take some of that with a grain of salt though. They beat Wm Penn, Christiana, Dickinson, McKean, Howard, Concord and Delcastle by a combined score of 118-3. But in saying that, Newark Charter is the only in state team to hold them to under 5 runs. That includes Sallies, Milford, Mtown, Hodgson, Appo, Conrad…they all got 5 or more scored on them. St G was 3-4 against this years playoff teams. On the mound, Riley was 5-2, while at the plate St G hit 6 HR’s, 2 of which were grand slams. St Georges has made it to 6 of the last 8 tournaments, but they have gone out in the first round in all but one of those tourneys.
