Sunday Was A Good Day for Rocky Mount

Rocky Mount Legion Post 58 took care of business in Edenton last night knocking off Post 40 in a double header and by doing so took the North division of area one first place. The scores were 11-7 and 10-6. Brandon Denton won game two of the double header on the mound for 58. Post 58 closes out their regular season tonight at Mount Olive College as they play Wayne County. Post 58 is now 15-4 and were 8-1 in the northern division beating Wilson who finihed 7-2. Both of their losses were at the hands of Post 58. The Legion Playoffs begin next week after the fourth of July.

Tonight in Smithfield the Midget League American League all stars square off against the National League all stars with the winner claiming the title in this pre Tar Heel Little League tournament. Jeremy Stewart's American league plays Tim Killebrew's team tonight.

Also in Smithfield the American League Senior Little league lead by Joe Bell's all stars go for the Senior crown.

Who's the best amongst our Midget and Senior little leaguers will be decided starting Wednesday night as the American and National Midgets and the American and National Senior little leaguers square off against each other in a two out of three grudge match at the little league fields at the sports complex.

Both the Midgets and Senior little league play a double header against each other Wednesday and if necessary will play a third game Thursday at Stith-Talbott Park. The Sports complex is hosting another tournament which starts Thursday so that is why they will not play at the complex.

Saturday night got a chance to see the first five minutes or so of the Junior Miss Pageant from Mobile Alabama. It was on the internet and as our family huddled around the computer got to see during the opening shots of the girls Hannah McMillan of Rocky Mount feeding a giraffe at the Mobile Zoo. They were in the midst of doing the opening number in which Hannah started out on the front row in the dance routine in which the girls were doing and one at a time they came to the front to be introduced. Just as they were getting to Delaware we lost the live streaming and by the time we got it back up Hannah had already been introduced and the top ten picked. Miss Idaho won.
