The PJC Pirates open play in the state baseball tournament, Friday, in Winter Haven. They won this thing, as an upstart, four years ago. They won't sneak up on anyone this time.
The Pirates take the number one national ranking into Winter Haven, this week. It's an honor... And a target... They've carried for six weeks.
They've held up under the pressure of heightened expectations. And they've done that in one of the nation's best leagues.
Kyle Marks, Hit PJC-Record .458:
Bill Hamilton, PJC Head Coach:
After going 41-6, the Pirates will have a three-week layoff before they face Lake City, Friday. That's a concern. No team is slump-proof. But the Pirates are close. They hit .406 as a team. And six players, above .390.
Robert Beary, Hit .432 with PJC-Record 15 HR:
But they could play six games in five days. And, as always, the premium is on pitching. Miguel mejia And Blaine Howell And Pace grad Chris Sorce are three solid starters.
For all that, four of the eight teams at state are nationally-ranked. The Pirates have handled every challenge. This is the biggest they've faced. So far.
UWF's men's golf team is ranked number-one in the nation. But the national tournament may not be any tougher than their super-regional.

This is the first of three rounds.
