College baseball is over for several teams and others prepare for their conference tournaments.
Brian Goodwin collect a couple of hits Friday and added to his North Carolina team lead in RBI's with 44. Carolina ripped Wake Forest Friday and needs to sweep the Demon Deacs this weekend to tie N C State for eighth place in the ACC. Goodwin is hitting 298 for the season for the Tar Heels.
Xavier Macklin continues to impress at North Carolina A&T. X is hitting 337 with nine homers and 47 rbi's. A&T finished second in the MEAC this season.
Bryan Braswell has started 34 of Campbell 46 baseball games and is hitting 317 on the season. Ben Fish still has three hits at Campbell in 17 at bats but those three hits have produced five rbi's.
Alex Pearce is hitting 208 for UNC Pembroke. He has now started 29 of their 47 games.
The first year of Wake Tech Baseball is over and Cameron Ramsey collect 29 hits in 36 games for a 240 batting average.
Wesley Joyner has batted three times this season at Mount Olive and collected two hits. I keep hearing that the divisions II national championships are going to be held at the USA baseball complex in Cary and Mount Olive is the host school. I guess that means they get to play in the tournament.
North Carolina Wesleyan's regular season conference championship was not enough to get them in the NCAA playoffs as they lost two straight games in the conference tournament.
Tyler Clark hit 317 on the season and started 31 games behind the plate. Southern Nash's Brian Allen hit a solid 307 in 25 starts. Daniel Moore 304 in his 26 starts. Andrew Webb hit 219 in 12 games that he played infield but Daniel made all conference pitching with a 5-2 record and an era of 2.83. Eric Mull former RMA player got on the field in eight games had one hit in six at bats. Chad Womble threw 25 innings on the mound and had 1-2 record for the Battling Bishops.
Lenoir C C had three local players as the Barnes brothers Zach and Patrick from Faith Christian saw action. Zach got to bat 12 times with four hits and Patrick four swings and collect two hits. Gabe Brown batted four times and scored two runs during the season.
Edmund Gravely has two hits on the season at Newberry college. Saw Tyler Joyner at the Northern- Rocky Mount game Thursday and he hopes to return back to the Pirates roster soon at ECU. So far this season he has one appearance and 1.1 innings pitched.
My last note for today Darius McKnight from the state champion Rocky Mount Gryphons will play college basketball at Davidson CC. The state community college system in order to attract students continues to add sports like basketball and baseball.
