Bombs Away

I ask for a five game series and got that from Edenton and Wayne County as Edenton came to Northern Nash tonight after winning game five in their opening round series against Wayne County on Saturday Not having their top pitchers to use tonight Edenton Post 40 paid dearly in being clobbered by Coleman Pitt Post 58 25-6

Post 58 scored in every inning including seven in the first on a three run homer by Xavier Macklin, A solo homer by Ben Fish an another three run homer by Tyler Clark and that was just the first inning

The bottom of the sixth Coleman Pitt made sure this game would not go more than seven innings with Dillon Cockrell getting a double driving in two runs. Tyler Clark not satisfied with only on homer hit his second of the night
driving in two more runs. Collins Cuthrell put the capper on this game hitting a two run homer. Post 58 plated ten runs in the sixth.

Brandon Denton pitched four innings but tonight was not his best night giving up five run on five hits and he walked four batters. When Denton left the game Post 58 was ahead 12-5. Bill Clark pitched two inning giving up a homer and Nick Hahula pitch the seventh. Tonight the pitching gave up six runs on seven hits and walked five batters. Not there best effort but who noticed when you win by 19.

Every batting starter got a hit lead by Tyler Clark's three for five two home runs and five runs batted in.

Xavier Mackin was four for five with a homer and three RBI's.

Ben Fish two for three with a homer and three RBI's.

Grant Johnson was one for four but had two ribbies.

Collins Cuthrell had two hits in four trips with a homer and two runs knocked in.

T J Taylor had a hit in three trips but walked three times.

Alex Pearce had a single but reach four times on walks and being hit by the pitcher.

Dillon Cockrell doubled off the wall driving in two runs.

Post 58 had twenty three rbi's with the help of eleven base and balls and four Edenton errors. There were base runner every where you looked all night tonight.

Game two in the series will be Tuesday night at 7.00pm in Edenton. Game three for sure will be Wednesday night back at Northern Nash.

Also last Night Wilson Post 13 held of Kinston Post 11 6-5 and Wils0n take s a 1-0 lead in games in that three out of five series.

It is finally official that Dickie Schock is the new head football coach at Rocky Mount High. There is an old saying that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree as Schock is a former Starmount player under B W Holt and actually came with Holt to Rocky Mount the first year Holt was here before moving to head coaching.

Schock he was hired last week but ask for it not to get out here in Rocky Mount until he had a chance to tell his players and administration in Orange High. A very classy move.
