Early Conference Battle

Coleman Pitt Post 58 has had a strange first six games of the  season heading into tonight.  Three of their four losses have come to teams that have a combined 40-6 record.  The fourth loss was a forfeit so standing at 0-4 on the season most of us observers of Post 58 were shocked that two road conference games this week had gone to P58 4-1 at Wilson and 8-7 in Greenville.  2-0 in conference play and tonight Wayne Count Post 11 brings in an 8-2 and 2-1 conference record. Post 58 falls at home 10-2.

 Hank Jones still trying to find who is going to be counted on as the season unfolds starts Johnathan Aparicio on the mound.and from the get go Aparicio had trouble finding the plate and when he did Post 11 had little trouble driving in runs.  P 11 scored twice and looked for more until a nice double play ended a big time rally.  Wayne Co score three more in the second  before P58 scratched home two runs in the bottom of the second.   A walk, a single by David Williams and a two run double by Brock Waynik produced two runs  to find P58  down only 5-2 at the end of two.

Spenser Ramsey came on to pitch the third and held P11 in check until  the sixth inning.  The final eight innings of the game Wayne County would score eight times and all are listed in the books as unearned runs as P 58 gave P11 plenty of help when ever they needed it.  4 errors officially but one batter reached after he had two pop ups dropped and one was in foul territory.


Adam Pate a UNC recruit collects three hits on the night of the seven that Wayne County could muster but when you add four errors ten runs crossed the plate for the winners. Linwood Jones was 2-2 for Coleman Pitt  and David Williams added two more. Jeremy Johnson, Johnathan Aparicio and Brock Waynik had a double and two rbi. 

Greg Johnson pitched seven strong innings for Wayne County who now is 3-1 and 9-2 over all on the season.  Coleman Pitt drops to 2-1 and 2-5 and the mystery remains at how good can this team be this year.  Their four losses have come to teams with a combined 49-8 but I don't care who you play spill the ball all over the place like they did tonight  they will have trouble beating teams 8-49.
