Post 58 Wins Showdown

Just Wednesday Greenville Post 39 and Rocky Mount Post 58 lost a game with each other due to a rain out but fair skies prevailed in Greenville on Thursday. Kyle Norville pitch three scoreless innnings of relief to preserve an 8-5 victory for Post 58.

Norville helped the cause with a two run homer and three hits in the game but 58 had plenty of help as Matthew Berry and Collins Cuthrell also reached base safely three times. This non-conference victory ups Post 58 record to 8-3 while Post 39 suffered only their second loss of the season.

Post 58 will host Ahoskie Post 102 Saturday at 1.00pm in a double header which is a conference battle. heading towards Saturday Post 58 is 2-0 in conference play.

What in the world has happened to basketball. I sat through one of the worse games I have ever tried to watch last night with the Lakers beating the Celtics 84-79. If you remember I complained that the NCAA championship game was a football game and I think last night was closer to a rugby game. There is no art to the way that officiating has taken basketball any more. The worse part of all is I was watching at the end. Stupid me.

I am trying to put together information on all our college players and what they are doing this summer. I understand that Brian Goodwin is playing in the Cape Cod league. The Cape Cod league is considered the premier summer college baseball league. Ben Fish and Xavier Macklin are in the Coastal league. I will try to find out about all our guys.

While the NBA was in commercial last night I was clicking the dial and ran across the Wilson Tobs. Channel 20 on the cable was doing the game live last night from Wilson. I say bravo to the station. We need more live local programming and I am not just talking about sports
