UGGGLY

Coleman Pitt Post 58 picked up their seventh conference win in eight tries tonight beating Ahoskie Post 102 in seven innings 12-2.  If this game had to have Russian judges to determine a winner then neither side would have been declared a winner.  Post 58 committed 5 errors and three straight batters reached at one point on errors.  Not to be outdone Post 102 had six miscues and two plays accounted for four of them.  Twice on throws to second the ball  was throw to center field and while trying to throw the runners out at third the balls were throw out of play allowing the runs to score.

Post 58 managed to score in all six innings that they batted collecting 13 hits.  They were lead by Khalil Macklin who went 4-4.  Chase Johnson was 3-5.  Colton Vaughn collected two hits.   Spires Miller, Matt Berry, Dillon Moore, Jeremy Sloop all had one hit but Post 102 pitching also walked or hit seven more batters.

Tyler King started on the mound for Post 58 and pitched into the fourth inning when Post 58 committed the three errors back to back to back.  King had walked in a run in third Spencer Ramsey came in and once Post 58 got past the fourth Post 102 never had another base runner.  Ramsey had two innings of three up and three down and Jeremy Trevathan did the same in the seventh.  Ahoskie had four hits on the game and three came off King and only one from Ramsey.

P58 is right back on the diamond Tuesday night hosting Albemarle and this is a conference game.  This is the new team from Elizabeth City that has joined the conference and game time will be at 7pm Tuesday.

Since returning from the graduation break P58 is 3-0 all conference wins and are now 9-4 overall and 7-1 in league play.  They have a return game with Wilson Friday night at home.  Going into tonight's game P58 had a two game lead in the conference race with Wilson at 5-3.  Ahoskie, Windsor, Edenton and Albemarle are all battling to make the top four positions as the top four make the playoffs.
