The double header of two seven innings games took a detour during the first game as Post 58 and Albemarle Post 84 play seven plus innings and were tied 4-4 when the bottom fell out and it didn't take but about ten minutes before the field was flooded. Here's is now the problem. When can both teams match up this late in the season to get these two games in. There is less than three weeks to go in the regular season and Post 58 still has nine scheduled games to play and there is still a need to make up a rain out with Kinston. Time and available days are running out. I guess the way this season has gone, this is just another I can't believe this season moment.
Post 58 could collect only five hits while they held P84 to only four. Seemed as if neither team could win the game. Brock Waynick had two hits for post 58 while Abel Hernandez, Nick Vester and Chase Roupp had the others. Adam Bayless started on the mound gave way to Pascal Ammons and Cody Smith got P58 through eight innings. When ever the game is resumed P58 will come to bat in the bottom of the eighth.
North Carolina got from Trent Thornton today what whey have not gotten from a starting pitcher almost this entire post season innings. Thornton gives the Heels seven strong innings and he got help from Chris McCue in the eighth and ninth innings as North Carolina survives to play another day at the College World Series. The Heels beat LSU 4-2.
Brian Holberton got Carolina off on the right foot with a two run homer and Colon Moran added another run in the third and Carolina plays State again Thursday night at the College World Series. LSU who many thought including myself as the best team in the CWS is out going home with two losses.
I don't think too many people thought there would be many runs scored in the State- UCLA game and it wasn't. State got some bad luck in the third after they had taken a 1-0 lead and over throw of home hit off the base of the brick wall behind home plate and bounced right straight at the catcher who was chasing the wild throw and he was able to get State's second run of the third inning out at home.
The eighth inning which was State's big chance failed after a sacrifice bunt was not executed and Trey Turner hit a ball to the wall which would have tied the game but it didn't since the runner never got to third on the sacrifice. UCLA beats State 2-1 to drop State to the losers bracket with Carolina and they will meet up again Thursday night at 8pm. Mike Fox announced after the game this afternoon that Hobbs Johnson would be on the mound for the Tar Heels.
Just Sunday had been the biggest sporting event ever between State and Carolina and now that will be topped as one of these teams will be knocked out of the tournament while Thursday winner gets a shot to beat UCLA twice.
