Section V Class D1 2017 Finals


#2 Lyndonville vs #1 Fillmore – Friday, May 26 @ 7:00 pm at Houghton

 

Previous Matchup:

Lyndonville and Fillmore have yet to square-off this season. Their last meeting came in the 2013 Section V Class DD Finals, when the Tigers defeated the Eagles 1-0 – despite the Fillmore starting pitcher striking out 17 Lyndonville batters.

Key Players:

LYNDONVILLE – Jacob Hoffee and Mike Wells have been the Tigers’ 1-2 punch on the mound throughout the season, while Eric Neace has been the top-hitter for Lyndonville. Look for this trio to pace them once again tomorrow afternoon.

FILLMORE – Evan Nugent is the ace of the Eagles’ pitching staff, posting a 0.98 ERA and a 7-1 record over 52 innings pitched this season – during which he has struck out an amazing 83 batters. Nugent also leads FILL at the plate, batting over .500 with 10 extra base hits and 23 RBI. Cody Slack and Todd Krzeminski are the other key athletes for the Eagles in this one – each hitting near .500 with 10 extra base hits a piece.

Finals Outlook:

Lyndonville and Fillmore are two quality teams featuring an impressive top-end of their respective pitching rotations. While Hoffee and Wells have done the job nicely for Lyndonville this season, Nugent comes into this one as the most-dangerous hurler for either side – and will make things incredibly difficult for the Lyndonville offense on Friday.

Prediction:

Pitching will tell the story of tomorrow’s game, as we are likely to see a duel for the ages – as we did in the two program’s previous matchup in 2013. In the end, give me the Tigers.
