The good news any time you sweep a series is your pitching staff gets to rest. Hitters probably need to try to stay in a groove but the most important to me is keeping pitchers rested.
Last night Post 58 swept by Post 39 three games to none. They won the series by out scoring 39 thirty one runs to five. The offense wasn't quite as good as during the regular season but ten runs a game ought to win every time out.
The impressive thing to me is that the the pitchers gave up only five. One reason is base on balls. Our pitchers are not walking that many batters there by keeping base runners off the base. It's hard to score without base runners.
Post 58 now a waits the winner of the #2 seed match up of Wayne County and the @3 seed Edenton. Wayne County is made up of most of the Eastern Wayne players that knocked off Northern Nash in the high school playoffs. Last night Edenton beat Wayne County to take a two games to one lead in that series. Tonight Edenton could pull the upset if they win in Edenton tonight. If need be a game five would be Saturday night in Wayne County. The winner of that series is at Northern Nash Monday to take on Post 58.
Hope it goes back to to Wayne County Saturday and the game goes twenty innings. Use up all the pitching before Monday.
In the other part of the bracket Wilson County swept past New bern three games to none and play Kinston who swept Ahoskie three games to none. They begin their series Monday night in Kinston.
My family will be heading to the River (Chowan ) near Edenton Saturday. I hope everyone has a safe fourth of July.
