Gryphons Win At Impact

Kent Cox has one Thoroughbred arm in his Gryphon stable of pitchers in Benton Moss. Cox has done everything possible to make sure that he protects Moss from injury until the conference games start. He has put his star pitcher on a 60 pitch count in every outing so far. Today Moss pitches two and two thirds innings before his pitch count ran out and that left the four and one third innings to go to the want-a-be pitchers for Rocky Mount.

Cox went to Jeremy Johnson and the sophomore lefty did all that could have been asked of him as he lead the Gryphons to a 2-1 win over Forsyth Country Day. The win is only the third of the season for the Gryphons who even their record at 3-3.

The Gryphons have three games next week traveling to SouthWest Edgecombe Tuesday then hosting Riverside High School Wednesday in an Endowment game and Rose on Thursday.
