Big Road Win

Regular season in Legion Baseball is totally getting prepared for the playoffs.  There have been days where they played five games in four days and the test there is to see who can pitch against Legion hitters and vise versa who can hit legion pitching.

You have to remember Legion is basically the all star high school players from every area that plays legion.  It is hard sometime to wonder why would they lose to one team and turn around and beat another the next night.  The one thing I really like about baseball is the pitcher on the mound makes it  a different ga
me every night.

Last night Post 58 traveled to Selma and played Johnston County at Smithfield High School.  Going into last night JC had not lost all season.  It was predetermined that they would only play a seven inning game and of course in a non conference game why wear you pitchers out when there are more important conference games to play as July 5th approaches.

Jeremy Lucas got the start last night and Lucas went the  distance as Post 58 put four runs on the board and Lucas and his defensive teammates held JC to only one run and P58 knocks Johnston County from the ranks of the unbeaten with a 4-1 win.  Johnston County gets a chance for revenge as they play Post 58 in Rocky Mount tonight at 7PM.

P58 is riding a eight game winning streak as they are now 14-4 on the season and heading to Wilson Friday night are 9-1 in conference play. Those who are interested in seeing playoff potential caliber  baseball tonight will be a good one and of course traveling Friday night to Fleming Stadium in Wilson which is rea

lly a good place to watch baseball.
