The baseball team this year has made a habit of being a second time around team. Very few times this season have the Gryphons come out put a game away early hitting.
Last night once again the bats waited to the fifth inning before becoming electric.
If I had to guess I think this years team is better than last year. However I thought the 2007 team was better than the state champs.
Hobbs Johnson's arrival has added depth to a pitching staff that was going to be good without him. This team cannot keep depending on the pitchers to win the game every time out. Even though once again Southern Wayne failed to score more than two runs on this team.
Next week's dilemma is who will start Tuesday. You have to win the second round before you can play in the third. My choice is pitch Benton Moss Tuesday. Why not? He is only 14-0 in his high school career. He has proven in last years playoffs to be a big game pitcher.
These Gryphons cannot keep relying on the pitchers to win every game. It's their time to step up.
I never thought the Hurricanes had a chance in game seven in Boston last night. Getting in my truck after the baseball game I am thinking to myself that when I hear the score and they are only behind by one they still have a chance.
I thought that Boston would score twice early and the Canes would never catch up. Was I suprised when I hear it is one-one near the end of the first period?
I knew then they had it in the bag.
The Hurricanes have been in North Carolina since 1997 and during that time thay have been as good as most NHL teams. If somehow they win the cup this year the Carolina Hurricanes will move up in status in the NHL as one of the elite franchises.
Eight more wins to go.
