The Rocky Mount Tar Heel 11/12 year old all stars have survived their second day of loser bracket games winning twice today in Valdese in the North Carolina Tar Heel little league tournament.
Nothing was easy today in the first game against Clayton as the game went eight innings before the Rocky Mount all stars put three on the board and shutout Clayton in the bottom of the eighth to win 6-3.
This made the third straight game that Rocky Mount has won since their opening game lost to Coates 4-3 when Coates scored in the last inning on Thursday.
Friday Rocky Mount won twice beating Hildebrand 12-2 and last night they beat Ahoskie 7-5. Playing twice in the same day for the second day in a row tonight Rocky Mount beat North Raleigh 5-4 after trailing 4-2 as they headed to the sixth inning.
My source on the scene in Valdese is Robert Morris who's son Andy is one of the players. Rocky Mount won on a three run homer in the sixth but there was so much whooping and hollering from the players in the back ground I didn't hear the name of the player who hit the home run.
For all of this work playing four games in two days, it is now down to two teams. The undefeated team is Jacksonville and Rocky Mount must beat them twice Sunday afternoon in order to win the State title.
Just a reminder this team won six in a row in Zebulon after they lost the first game of the districts. So this team knows they can do it.
Pitching will be a major question mark Sunday, but so far in the five games that Rocky Mount has played the pitching has only allowed twenty runs so to this point pitching has been a strong point .
Good luck Sunday.. First game starts at 2.00pm
