The Hits Keep On Coming

Back in my Disc-Jockey days one of the phrases that our station use to use was the hits keep on coming, Well Coleman Pitt Post 58 has taken me back in time as they just keep on getting hits.

Tonight twenty three as Post 58 takes down Edenton Post 40 17-5.

Unlike last night Dillon Cockrell was in control on the mound after the first batter who lead off with a home run, Cockrell pitched six strong innings and when he left the game had allowed only three hits and was in the lead 17-1.

Ray Valesquez pitch the seventh and was roughed up for four runs on four hits and Post 58 defense was very poor tonight in committing at least six errors but still won the game in seven innings.

I would like to thank Don Johnson being my telephone source once again tonight keeping me informed of the score.

The first two games of this series Edenton pitching took thirteen inning before they figured out how to keep Post 58 from scoring runs in every inning. Last night Post 58 batted six times and score in every inning. Tonight Coleman Pitt score in every inning but the seventh.

However for the first time this year there is an injury to report. Last night Alex Pearce walked twice and was hit twice. Tonight he once again walked and then in the third was hit on his left wrist and had to be removed from the game. Looks like x-rays may be needed Wednesday morning. Alex is scheduled to pitch Wednesday night in what now can be the series clincher for Post 58. If Alex can't go I suspect Nick Hahula would get the call but remember this is the left wrist not Alex's pitching wrist. We will see.

Injury update: Have received word that Alex's wrist is not broken only bruised after a doctor visit to Greg Nelson this morning.

I found out late last night that the state playoffs are getting bigger. I said on the PA last night that the winner of our series with Edenton would meet the winner of Wilson-Kinston and the winner of that series would go to the state playoffs in Greenville July 25th.

I understand now that due to one team already being from the east that being Post 39 the host of the state playoffs that only one other east team can make it to the state which means we have another series to play the week of July 18th if we survive next week. That would be against the Raleigh area winner which right now the best team seems to be Durham Post 7.

Post 58 can sweep their second playoff series in a row Wednesday night at home at Northern Nash. First pitch is set four 7.00pm.

Come see this team hit the baseball. They are very entertaining.
