North Carolina wasted six innings of no hit pitching by Hobbs Johnson, out hit Florida Atlanta 12-3 but the final score shows FAU 3 and Carolina 2. It sets up a winner take all game Monday with the winner heading to the Super Regional. The time of the game is in the hands of ESPN as they will wait to see how many other winner take all games there are as ESPN will try to air as many as possible live.
Rocky Mount's Hobbs Johnson cruised through six inning surviving a bases loaded jam in the sixth after two walks and a Carolina error. The lead off batter in the 7th walked which was Johnson 5th of the game and Mike Fox went to the bull pen but two batter later a three run homer and Carolina was behind. carolina was their own worse enemy as they left 15 men on base during the game.
Over in Raleigh Terran Senay's three run homer in the bottom of the first was all the Wolfpack needed but they got some insurance just in case. Senay had a two rbi 8th inning hit and lead the pack to a 9-2 victory and a spot in next week's Super Regional as of yet who they play will not be determined until Monday between Rice and Oregon. If Oregon Wins State travels to Eugene Oregon but if Rice wins they come to Raleigh. State's pitching allowed only three runs in the three games of the regional and only two were earned.
To say the least this weekend might be one that Hank Jones will erase from his memory as Coleman Pitt Post 58 lost three times once each on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I know on Friday there was a scramble to get enough players because of the private schools graduation but the lack of numbers hurt big time Saturday. In a dog fight ( I have been told it was 12-10) a Post 58 injury in the eighth inning forced CP58 to forfeit the game because they did not have enough players to put on the field. Then Tonight playing Garner at Garner CP 58 lose 14-8. Boy what a weekend for Post 58 to forget. they will be at home Tuesday night.
The ACC is more than holding their own in the NCAA Tournament as of this writing only Clemson and Miami won once are out and everyone else has won at least twice and FSU, Virginia and N C State have advanced to the next round.
