Legion Wins Again

Coleman Pitt Post 58 won it's home opener tonight as they played host to North Chatham  and came away with a 9-4 victory.  Chase Johnson of Tarboro and Khalil Macklin of Nash Central lead the  rbi parade as each had two for the night.  Johnson knocked in the first run of the game in the first when Johnson doubled after Matt Berry was put on base with two outs on a hit batter.  Johnson followed in the third with his second rbi on a single.
 
Macklin's second and third bat of the game produced rbi's  his second hit a double over the head of the left fielder.  Hank Jones started Tyler King of Nash Central who game him five good innings of no run ball.  Spencer Ramsey pitched the sixth and seventh and was charged with two runs but faulty defense allowed both runs to score.  Former Rocky Mount pitcher Jeremy Trevathan pitch the 8th and 9th innings for Post 58.

Wednesday night Post 58 goes  to Northwood High in Pittsboro where they will play North Chatham again.  They return home Thursday when they open their conference schedule when Ahoskie will be at Gryphon Stadium.

This weekend North Carolina who is seeded sixth in the NCAA baseball tournament will be hosting among others East Carolina.  I think you can count on every ticket to be sold in Chapel Hill this weekend with the possibility that ECU and Carolina could play at least two games against each other depending on how the first days games go. Should Carolina win this Regional they would host a Super Region in two weeks

Over in Raleigh State will be hosting as the #9 seed.  They play Sacred Heart on Friday while Vanderbilt Plays UNC Wilmington.  The ACC got five schools as host of Regionals and a total of seven team in the NCAA field.  Should State win this weekend they probably would have to travel to Gainesville Florida where they would most likely play Florida who got the #1 overall seed in the Tournament.
