A 2 hitter? What are you on man? Clay beat them 6-2 if I remember correctly. Clay scored 22 runs in 2 games aganist M-Boro, and M-Boro lost their top two pitchers. Wilson kept them off balance early because he can't break glass, but once they seen it and got more patient in the box they rocked him. The lights are a non factor. It's a done deal, they might not be up by April 1st, but it's already cleared and they'll be up before the regional tournament. M-Boro is as good as Epperson will allow them to be. If he worked on his stuff on the hill, and hits it as good as he did last year they will be competitive. If not, it'll be a long year for the Jackets!

Sorry Hit and Run. MHS not only keeps thorough statistics but accesible ones as well. If you click on the link below, you will go to Michael Wilson's stats for last year. If you scroll down the page, you will find his game-by-game stats.

He did not go a complete game but he did pitch 4 2/3 innings against Clay County on 5/6 and gave up 1 hit, a single, while striking out 5 batters. I wouldn't exactly call that "rocking" him.

Clay County may have scored 22 runs but in two games, they had 16 hits against MHS, compared to MHS having 21 hits against Clay County. As I mentioned on another thread, Middlesboro is loaded with hitters this year. As good as Epperson was at the plate last year, they also return Womack who had even more success at the plate last year, including multi-hit games at Knox (vs. King), South (vs. Adams), Harlan Co (Boggs), and Clay (Griffin). He batted .396 last year as a junior.

I am 100% confident that had Wilson been present for the regional semifinal game last spring, Middlesboro would have beaten Clay. He was invited to a very prestigous golf camp and being a very serious golfer, it was an opportunity he could not pass up. Wilson at region= none of this preseason hoopla surrounding Clay County.
