Cape had a tough start to the season, but ended the season winning 6 of the last 7 games, with 4 straight wins. They played Seaford, Tech, Delmar, IR, Lake, APPO and St Marks and only allowed 9 runs in the last 7 games and scored 37 runs. They seem to be hitting their stride with pitching and hitting. Cape was just 5-6 against playoff teams this year. This well be Cape’s 10th post season tourney and they are 6-9 in post season games. This is Cape’s 3rd straight post season and in 2015 made it to the championship, losing to Appo. Cape is scoring over 6 runs per game this year and allowing under 3 runs per game. But in the last 15 games, Cape has only allowed 30 total runs. Cape is very deep with its pitching. They have Erickson, Elliott and Gelof. At the plate they have the second most amount of Homers in the state with 9, lead by Dale and Elliot who have 3 each, while Gelof just hit 1 HR in each of the last two games.

Tower Hill had a great season only losing three games, all three were playoff teams (Milford, DMA and Archmere). Arch had only 1 win over a playoff level team, that was 1-run win over St E early in the season. Tower Hill hears a lot of grief about their schedule every year. This year, some teams have played as many as 13 games against the other playoff teams, TH has only played 4. Besides TH… Dover and Delmar played the least at only 6. This is Tower Hill’s 20 season making the playoffs. They are 9-18 in the post season. TH missed the playoffs last year, but in 2015 they got their first post season win since 2007. TH does have something that not a lot of other teams have, they won a championship in 1987. TH has scored over 7 runs per game and only allowed a little over 3 runs per game. TH is getting good pitching from Love and Quimby, both are 6-1 I believe.

Tower Hill have never met in the post season and also did not meet in 2017.
