Outlook
This is one of the most anticipated matchups of the tournament. Both teams are ranked among the top four overall in the state and among the top twelve nationally by MaxPreps (the Bulls are No. 12 and the Patriots are No. 6). But it is not just the status of the teams that makes this a premier showdown. Alot has to do with the aces — Bloomingdale’s Natalie Cable and Pace’s Jayden Heavener. Both are going to top level colleges and are regarded as two of the nation’s best power pitchers. Cable, a UCLA commit, has a 0.79 ERA and 327 strikeouts. Heavener, an LSU signee, is equally impressive with a 0.49 ERA and 291 strikeouts. Expect a lot of zeroes stretching across the scoreboard. The Bulls missed out on a perfect season with a loss to Palmetto in the 6A-7 district final. But they bounced back to win three straight games in regionals, including a payback win over the Tigers in the semifinals and knocking off East Lake in the final. The offense had its best performance of the postseason in the 8-1 victory over the Eagles. Miranda Dilling, Bryanna Rawlings and Paige Sanchez each had two hits. The Patriots have outscored foes by a combined 50-2 during their current five-game win streak.
