Post 58 Wins Again

It is amazing what playing at home can do for almost every team.  Coleman  Pitt Post 58 remained undefeated at home with a 15-7 win over Edenton tonight in Rocky Mount.

I missed tonight's game so I don't have many details other than this is their fifth win in six games within the conference for Post 58.  They will continue their five game home stand with their third home game in a row Monday night as they host Ahoskie for the second time this year.  You may remember it took a seven run 7th inning for P58 to beat Ahoskie 7-3 a couple of weeks ago in Rocky Mount.

There is one really good thing about major golf championships on the west coast.  You can watch golf to dark thirty on TV.  Tiger is right at the top.  He seems to have his golf game as good as it has been in the last several years.  His biggest problem is he can no longer count on making every putt within eight feet like he use too.

Follow up in the next tournament after her biggest day in golf.  This week in the Futures Tour is their biggie  tournament of the year  The Players.  Lauren Doughtie shoots an opening round 69 which is good to be tied for ninth.  The good news is cloud nine did not effect her game this week as  she is three under par and I don't care how big the tournament is every week just that I will take her shooting 69 every day  and if it doesn't win so be it.

So far the first two games of the NBA finals have almost had the same script in both games.  Game one once OKC got rid of the first time in the finals jitters they were by far the best team.  Game two OKC played like they thought they were going to win and Miami was going to lay down for them and that didn't happen. 

The next three games will be in Miami so the pressure now falls on OKC to at least win one in Miami in order to get games six and seven back home.  I still see OKC winning as in both games in the fourth quarter Miami looked old and tired compared to OKC.

Corn Stalks In Rocky Mount

Tonight Coleman Pitt Post 58 put everyone on a bleacher in a cornfield in Iowa.  There was a time tonight I could see Shoeless Joe Jackson looking from within the cornstalks wanting to come on the field and be a part of the fun.  Tonight Post 58 wore brand new throw back uniforms that looked of the White Sox of the 20's.

Having a week off Post 58 sent Cam Webb to the Hill where he pitched eight innings of 11 hit baseball.  He seemed to always be in trouble but never in danger.  Seven of the eight position players got at least one hit lead by Khalil Macklin with two hits and two rbi, Tyler Wooten two hits a a ribby, Jeremy Sloop had two dings and a run knocked in while Colton Vaughn has two singles and a rbi.

In all Post 58 plated eight runs on 12 hits and got back on the winning track with a 8-3 victory of Wilson Post 13.  Every time you looked around Webb had base runners on as Post 13 had  11 hits but managed only a single run in the first and  two more  in the fourth.  Jeremy Trevathan came in and pitched the ninth for Coleman Pitt who now goes to 7-4 on the season but the most important stat is they are 4-1 in league play.

They will not have long off as they will play home again Friday night as Edenton will be in town for another conference game.  Tonight The All New Sports Show was in the house taping the game which can be seen on WHIG-TV this Sunday night at 8PM.  Wes Bradshaw did the call and Edward Green ran the camera and color.
