Post 58 Needed Mulligan

If you have ever played in a Member/Guest Golf tournament there are times when they will let you buy a Mulligan.  Those of you that don't know what a Mulligan is it is a shot that you can take over like a missed two foot putt or a shot that you might hit in the water.  You show the other team your mulligan and you get to take one shot over.

Tonight Coleman Pitt Post 58 needed four Mulligans as they would like to have had the first, second, sixth and seventh innings back because the other five Post 58 shut out Durham Post 7 10-0.  Those four innings they gave up 18.  Four in the first , three in the second  managed to tie the game up in the fifth at seven and then preceded to give up 11 runs in the sixth and seventh.

The game would have ended in a 18-7 lost except for a two out  Tyler Wooten hit which scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh to cut the lead to less than ten runs.  A single run in the ninth cut to 18-10 but this games went almost three hours and forty five minutes and Durham had 16 hits and Rocky Mount ten.

These early season games coaches are seeing who his players will eventually be and late next week when the conference games start I'm sure  coach Hank Jones will settle into a regular lineup that he thinks will be his best in conference play.


Post 58 has lost both of their home games while winning on the road and stand at 1-2.  They play at home Friday night against Greenville Post 39 the team they beat Tuesday.  They play twice over the weekend in a showcase Tournament in Durham.

Nash Central's girls softball team will be heading to D H Conley on Friday night in round four of the State High School Softball playoffs.  Conley beat Hunt 6-0 Tuesday and as a #1 seed in their conference the Coastal they are a higher seed than the Lady Bulldogs so the home game at Conley.

Wednesday turned out to be a fair day for any body that cheers for the Wolfpack.  N C State beat Florida State in the opening round of the ACC Tournament in  Durham.  One of the Wolfpack  nation Scotty  won American Idol.  Do you realize that the Wolfpack baseball team has won every day since Scotty tossed out the first pitch a couple of weeks ago against Florida State... Yes after his first pitch the game got rained out and a double header played on that Sunday and Florida State won the first game but the Wolfpack won the second game and has not lost since.  It must be that Scotty power driving the Wolfpack.
