#15 DMA (12-6) @ #2 Caravel (14-2). These two did not play each other this year
DMA is coming off a dominant 4-0 win over Delmarva Christian in the first round. Kohan threw a complete game 3 hit shutout. Petrucci and Smith both hit homers. DMA is another team starting off slow with a tough schedule. They started 0-3 against St Marks, Mtown and Conrad. Turned it around with a 17-3 win over Archmere but lost 8-7 to Tower Hill. Since that 2-4 start, they won 8 straight and finished the season 9-2 in their last 11 games beating NC, RLCA, CR, Glasgow and losing to Appo and Dover. Unfortunately they did lose 2 of their last 3 to end the season. They are 5-5 against this year playoff teams. DMA is scoring over 8 runs per game and have hit 17 homers. They are allowing 4 runs per game on average. Kohan and Hines are both 4-1 on the mound. DMA has been to 5 post seasons with just a 2-5 record. Their first win was last year shocking Dover 8-0 in the 1st round then losing a close one to Appo in the second round.
Caravel is in their first year with a new coaching staff. Caravel started off 7-0 beating three out of state teams but also Newark Charter, St Marks, Indian River and Hodgson. Then Caravel fell asleep and lost to Newark 6-3. Then followed that up with another loss to Sallies. But Caravel has won 7 straight since then including Central, Mtown, Conrad. Caravel has had 8 shutouts . they have only allowed 36 total runs this season. Silan is one of the best pitchers in the state and Holiday is 5-0. Caravel is going to its 28th post season and won 5 state titles, including last year. They are 43-22 in post season games.
Prediction: Caravel is way too experienced and has the advantage in this one.
