Left town for a mini vacation to the Wilmington Area Thursday afternoon so I was out of pocket for both game four and five of the Senior Legion Third Round.
Don Johnson who seems to be every where was a constant phone call away What's the score now?
Around lunch time today Joe Bell called making sure I would be there tonight and to tell me about last night's games. Joe is in Asheboro with the Rocky Mount Junior Legion.
Brett Johnson Don's middle son is the coach of Nash Central Junior Legion team and Friday night in the bottom of the ninth Don was feeding Brett the play by play by cell phone and Brett was relaying the action to all of the people in the hotel lobby in Asheboro.
Senior Legion Post 58 down two games to one after Wednesday night's game punishes Post 13 Thursday 16-4 setting up last night dramatic finish.
Post 58 scores three in the bottom of the ninth to best Wilson 11-10. Their reward play again tonight. This time it is for the East title against Cary. The winner of this series goes to the State tournament in Greenville starting the 25th.
Post 58 used every available body to win last night pitching so who throws tonight is any one guess.
Game time is 7.00pm at Northern.
You know an amazing amount of work went into getting the field ready last night because of the late afternoon rain. If last nights game would have of been postponed Wilson would have been the winner due to a rule that if weather prevent a series from finishing on time the team that wins game one wins the series.
Friday Nash Central Junior Legion lost in extra innings 5-4 in their opening round game in Asheboro. This morning at 10.00am they lost in the loser's bracket 8-4 to be eliminated from the tournament.
Rocky Mount Junior Legion team won yesterday 8-3 and that sets up a winner's bracket game tonight at 7.00pm with Cary. Cary and Rocky Mount are the Tournament pre favorites. Cary has a ridiculous of like 44-2 and Rocky Mount is like 26-2
How odd can that be both Junior and Senior Legion teams play tonight at 7.00pm and play Cary.
Weather willing Senior Legion start round four tonight at Northern Nash.
