Legion Takes Two / Carolina Ousted

Coleman Pitt Post 58 swept a double header from Windsor Post 37 tonight 11-1 in five innings and 9-6.  Spenser Ramsey scattered seven hits over over his five innings of work but even though he had base runners on he didn't compound the problem with base only balls.  He only had one for the night.

Adam Bayless was the hitting hero as as he collected two hits and one left the park with the bases loaded.  He had five rbi's in game one.  David Williams and Chase Roupp also had two hits for the game.  Linwood Jones,Brock Waynick, Nick Vester and Andy Morris all had a hit and Morris' double drove in the final two runs of a 7 run fifth to get the game to a ten run mercy rule.

The night cap Hank Jones started David Williams on the mound and lasted only one inning as P37 playing in the night cap as the home team scorched Williams for three hits in the first but three base on balls a hit batter found the Coleman Pitt bunch down 5-1 at the end of one.  Enter Pascal Ammons  a pitcher for Cornith Holder in Wendell and Ammons shuts down P37 for the next four inning holding them  hit less.  He walked three but never giving up the big hit P58 clawed back taking a 7-5 lead into the 6th inning when P37 got a single and a triple to cut the lead to 7-6 but Ammons put out the fire in the 6th and  manged to face four batters in the seventh.

P 58 scratched a run home in the second after two outs a walk to Andrew Weatherly and a triple by Linwood Jones.  They score one in the third without a hit.  Finally the fifth they pushed across  four runs on a rbi by Brock Waynick and an error helped move runners all over the place.  Just for good measure P 58 added two more in the 7th to win 9-6. Post 58 is now 5-1 in conference play and as of tonight they have squared their record at 5-5 on the year.

North Carolina in their fifth elimination game during the NCAA playoffs waited to the ninth inning to score against UCLA Friday night and they join N C State in the eliminated category as UCLA dumps Carolina 4-1.  The Tar Heels finish 3rd in the CWS going 2-2.   In what I would  consider a classy move by Mike Fox  he brought in Gryphon Benton Moss in the game to pitch to the last batter for UCLA with two outs.  Realizing that Carolina's second best pitcher during the regular season had not stepped on the mound and looking as if tonight was it for Carolina Moss proceeded to strike out his only batter he face.

UCLA has given up just two runs in three games and will now play Mississippi State for the CWS Championship starting Monday night.
