They have won but one game in the last three years of Softball at Rocky Mount High School. Tonight was the last game to ever be played on the "Mutt" Wilson field where Lady Gryphon softball has played since the inception of slow pitch softball in the early 80's. Tonight the last conference game of the year the Lady Gryphons win their first game of the year and can for ever say they won the last game there.
The Lady Gryphons beat Fike for the second year in a row 9-8. They took a 1-0 lead in the first only to see Fike score five in the top of the fourth. Rocky Mount responded with five in the bottom of the fourth to take a 6-5 lead. They added a run the fifth to lead 7-5. Fike responded with three in the top of the sixth to lead 8-7 but Rocky Mount got two in the bottom of the sixth to lead 9-8. The Lady Gryphons got the first two outs in the seventh but a hit and error found Fike with runners and second and third but a ground out ended the drought for the Lady Gryphons win 9-8.
With all the good news for softball the opposite occurred for baseball. Up at one point 4-0 the Gryphons lose at Fike 7-6. Northern Nash beat Nash Central 2-1 and Hunt beat Southern Nash in six innings 12-2. By winning Hunt can either win the regular season championship outright with a win over Nash Central Thursday or both will be tied. Hunt is now 7-2 while Nash Central is 6-3. Rocky Mount and Northern Nash are tied at 4-5 and Southern Nash and Fike are 3-6. The Rocky Mount loss guarantees Nash Central no worse than the #2 seed in next week's tournament.
Tonight Hunt High School named their baseball Field after the late Sid Boyette who was a county commissioner as well as a supporter for all types of sports at Hunt as well as all over Wilson County. You can see that naming ceremony Sunday night during the All New Sports Show on WHIG-TV
