Starting pitcher Tyler King squeeze bunt in the top of the fourth inning produced the only run that Nash Central would need but three unearned runs in the fourth lead Nash Central to a 4-0 shutout of Rocky Mount. King went the distance striking out 12 Gryphons and allowed four hits for the Bulldogs. Jeremy Johnson started for the Gryphons but was pulled in the fifth and the Gryphons were on the verge of getting out of a major jam when a throwing error on what would have been the third out helped produce the Bulldogs three runs. Cody Smith pitched the last 2 an one third innings for the Gryphons.
Two errors in the fifth aided the Bulldogs in their three run rally. The Bulldogs collected only five hits themselves. Colton Vaughn and Davis Johnson had two hits a piece and Kyle Taylor had the Bulldogs final hit. Jeremy Johnson singled twice and Andy Morris and Ben Yates had the Gryphons other hits. The middle of the Gryphon lineup the 4-5 and 6 hitters were a combined 0-8 with 8 strikeouts.
The Gryphons fall to 4-5 and 1-1 in Big East play while the Bulldogs have yet to lose this season as they stand 6-0. Rocky Mount plays their next game Friday night at 7pm at Gryphon Stadium against conference foe Hunt High. Surprisingly there was a nice crowd on hand considering the cold weather.
If you thought the baseball score might be bad, over on the softball field Nash Central won that game in five innings 21-0.
J'Kyra Brown keeps making All State teams as Monday NC Preps.com named Brown all State. All state teams most of the time include all classifications and this is at least the second all state team that J'Kyra has made.
The Rocky Mount booster club is having a fund raiser in the form of a golf ball drop. If you buy one golf ball for $25 or 5 for $100. The booster club will be selling 1,000 balls. May 18th on the driving range of Northgreen Country Club those 1000 balls will be dropped by helicopter and if only one ball goes in the hole that person who owns that ball will win $5,000. If more than one ball goes in they will divide the money equally. If no ball goes in the the closes ball to the hole wins. You can't win the big money if you don't buy a ticket.
I have never seen this event before but I think it would be neat to go watch the helicopter drop those balls on May 18th. Might not be to good an idea to stand under them as they are dropped.
