Post 58 Streak Over

Starting with last Saturday's double header CP 58 will play seven  games in nines days. Five of the seven are divisional games which will determine playoff rankings.  Tonight Post 58 played Cary a team which has already beaten CP58 opening night but does not mean a thing in order to determine the standings in the playoffs. Using last Thursday as a model Hank Jones tossed his staff tonight trying not to to wear any pitching out with the upcoming game on Wednesday with Wilson Post 13.

Unlike last Thursday Cary was not as accommodating as Wayne County and deliver 14 hits off five CP58 pitchers as Cary up ends CP 58 8-3.  Coleman Pitt could only muster 6 hits but found themselves making the mental errors that prevent rallies by getting picked of first  which killed a rally and in the eighth inning with one out and the bases loaded got called out at home on a wild pitch.  Rally killers to say the least.

The lost stops a ten game winning streak and gives CP 58 a 12-4 record.  Wednesday night at Nash Central High school Wilson Post 13 and CP 58 collide for first place in the North Division.  The two play each other again Sunday night at Nash Central which is the final regular season home game.  If CP58 wins one of the two games they will draw the #1seed in our bracket.

Thursday I would suspect another throw the staff game as Wayne County makes a visit to Nash Central and Friday CP58 travels for a Division game at Hicks Field in Edenton before returning home Sunday.  If you have not seen Post 58 play this season Wednesday will be the night to see one as all the marbles are on the line.

June 23rd is Roster day and as of right now Post 58 has 19 on their roster.  They must turn in their playoff roster on the 23rd with only 18 players.  I know Hank Jones is having a hard time deciding  who will get the ax.  This team does not have a bad player any where and a good one is going to have to sit.

UNC has lived to play another day in the College World Series.  Freshman Kent Emanuel pitched a four hit gem to keep Carolina a float.  They play again Wednesday night.
