I Almost Got My Wish

Friday I stated that what Post 58 needed was for Wayne County and Edenton series to go five games and game five go twenty innings in order to wear out who ever wins the series pitching.

I got a five game series. All Edenton Post 40 needed in the ninth inning Friday night was one strike which would have meant the ball game and a three games to one upset of Wayne County. Wayne County got a two out two strike hit to tie the game and sent it to extra inning before Wayne County won 6-3 in Eleven innings.

Force to play the deciding game on the fourth of July was not fun for either team as you know that they had rather be any where other than playing ball on the 4th.
Edenton Post 40 pulls off the upset beating at Wayne County 7-4 to win the series in five games.

Edenton will now play Coleman Pitt Post 58 Monday night at 7.00pm at Northern Nash as the semi-finals of the area one east bracket is down to four team with one of them going to the state American Legion State Championships in Greenville starting July 25th.

Wilson plays Kinston and Edenton Plays Nash County. The two winner meet next week and the winner of that series goes to the state American Legion State Championships.

I was in Edenton all day, rather, Rocky Hock on the Chowan River at my sister in laws house. The family cooked a pig, road jet skis, all day. Heading home from a full day at the river we stopped in Edenton to see the fireworks which was shot off over Edenton Bay. Much better that Rocky Mount's on Friday night.

Edenton has a college team that plays in the summer Coastal league called the Steamers and they play their home games at the Holmes High School baseball field where the Legion plays. I don't know whether we are going to have any problems with scheduling the field since there will be a possible game there Tuesday and Thursday.

Edenton's baseball stadium was built in 1938 and has wooden seats. It is a neat place to watch a baseball game in case you are planning to follow Post 40 this week.
