Palmetto State Baseball team of the week, March 10-16: Florence-Darlington Tech

Florence-Darlington Tech (3-0 for the week)
(went 3-0 vs. USC Sumter)

The opening portion of the Stingers' season included a pair of Florida tournaments loaded with powerful teams. They came home on a two-game losing streak and with a 4-5 record.

Since then, FD Tech has gone 19-2 - including a current seven-game winning streak - and have built a two-game lead in the Region 10 standings entering the fifth of 10 weeks of region play. Saturday's one-run win over USC Sumter in the series finale is the only game among the latest 19 wins closer than three runs.

Up next: at USC Union (8-4), which is in a second-place tie with Gaston College, for three games next weekend.
