Harrell Commits to Louisville

Former North Edgecombe basketball player  Montrezl Harrell who committed to Virginia Tech but when Tech fired Coach Greenberg decommitted has decided that the best place for him is at the University of Louisville.  There was a chance that N C State would  get him but due to the fact that would have been within the conference he would have had to sit out a year.

Coleman Pitt Post 58 traveled to Ahoskie tonight to meet Post 102 for the second time in four days and even though Post 58 lost the second game of a double header Saturday at Windsor the bats are beginning to come around.  Since the seventh inning against Post 102 Thursday Post 58 has scored 49 runs in twenty two innings and tonight they dispose of Post 102 13-2 in an eight inning game.

Post 58 is now 6-1 overall and 3-1 in conference play.  They are right back on the road Tuesday as they travel to Pitt CC and meet Post 39 from Greenville.  Post 39 is the team that was here for the season opener that got rained out in the bottom of the third and it looks as if that game will not be made  up.

A comeback for the ages as N C State down 7-3 in the top of the eighth inning  scored three in the eighth and three again in the ninth to top Vanderbilt and qualify for the Super Regional to play Florida this weekend.  Relief pitcher Ryan Wilkins  shut the door on Vandy the last four plus innings as the Pack becomes only the second ACC team to make the Super Regional along with Florida State.

This weekend's Regional surprises were many but one of the biggest and best was the Mountaineers of Appalachian State being in the winners bracket and having a chance to qualify for the Super Regional. It was not to be as App State lost 14-6 and 5-2 to lost out to Oklahoma.
