Legion Regular Season Is Over

Coleman Pitt Post 58 from Rocky Mount won the out right #1 seed in the Northern Conference of Area One Eastern Division last Wednesday and since then have played three games that  had no purpose in improving their playoff position. They have the home field advantage during the first few rounds of the playoff.

Tonight CP58 finishes off by sweeping  through the Northern Conference undefeated as  58 takes down Wilson Post 13 for the third time this season and cap off a 9-0  Northern Conference campaign.  They win in Wilson .  The victory give Post 58 a 15-5 record after they started 2-3.  I am not sure how much advantage this team has in home field as they finish 9-1 on the year on the road while managing just a 6-4 home season.

CP58 scored once in the first on a Jordan Taylor rbi.  The third CP 58 brought home five runs  on a single driving home two by Jeremy Sloop.  Kyle Pratt and Khalil Macklin also knocked in a run a piece. Matt Berry got an rbi in the 6th to extend Post 58 lead 7-4.  The eighth was the clincher as Khalil Macklin had a bases loaded triple  for three ribbies and Macklin scored the 4th run of the inning on a wild pitch.

Cam Webb started on the mound and got help in the third from Dillon Moore who slammed the door on Post 13 keeping them at bay until 58 could get breathing room. Finally giving up two runs  in the eighth inning Moore gave way to Matthew Berry who shuts the door  on Post 13.

Matt Berry put a topper on his five hit night lacing a double  in the ninth that drove in two more and Post 58 had score 13 for the night.  Three games this season against Post 13 CP58 has scored12-13 and 17 runs.  Final from Wilson Post 58- 13  Post 13- 6

Berry finished of  the bottom of the ninth by giving up single and then retiring three straight.Matthew had five hits and four rbi.  Three other players had two hits Jordan Taylor with a rbi, Khalil Macklin  with four and Jeremy Sloop with two rbi.  Spiers Miller had a single, and Kyle Pratt had one of the 13 hits Post 58 managed.  The trio of Cam Webb, Dillon Moore and Matt Berry held Post 13 to 6 runs on 8 hits.  Post 58 did commit three errors which factored into the six runs allowed.

Playoffs start next Sunday night July 3rd at Nash Central High School and we think Post 58 starts out their first two out of three series with New Bern.  The Southern Conference does not finish up their regular season until Monday night.

Looks like M Berry has snapped out of that slump....
