Coleman Pitt Post 58 is off to a shaky start having a game rained out and another postponed. Despite pitching two innings last Wednesday Hank Jones sent Cameron Webb former Tarboro High pitcher right back to the mound Sunday night at Salisbury as Post 58 finally gets a complete game in and a big win.
Webb pitched six innings and a 6 run sixth inning blew open the game as Post 58 already lead 5-2 and ballooned to 11-2. Another player returning from last season lead the Post 58 attack in Jeremy Sloop of Nash Central. Sloop had two singles and a home run and drove in three runs to lead the way with the bats. Jones handed the ball over to several pitchers the final three innings as Post 58 post their first victory of the year an 11-5 win over Rowan County. Post 58 will try Tuesday night to get a home game in as they host North Chatham.
It's official that North Carolina and North Carolina State will be hosting NCAA Regional baseball tournaments this weekend. The NCAA released the 16 sites for the Regionals Sunday. Today there will be a selection show placing the other teams that will be playing in the Regionals. Don't be surprised if ECU or Campbell both don't wind up staying close to home either in Chapel Hill or Raleigh. My guess is one will be in Chapel Hill the other in Raleigh and if that happens both Regionals could be sellouts for the entire weekend.
I have seen quite a few baseball games in my time and I am not sure that there has ever been one any better than Saturday night's State -Carolina ACC Tournament game played in Greensboro. N C State ace Carlos Rodon who just could be one of the top five pitchers in all of college baseball held Carolina in check for nine innings.
Former Gryphon Benton Moss who was on a pitch count knowing that they were not playing in the championship on Sunday Mike Fox needed to give the other Gryphon Hobbs Johnson some innings too. Moss was just as spectacular as Rodan if fact Benton got an ovation from the Carolina crowd as he was pulled in the sixth inning.
That game did not have a lot of action other that pitcher striking out batters but I guess that is the beauty of baseball.
