Post 58 Saves The Day

You may have seen the high lights of the Pitt County Post 39 victory over Post 13 from Wilson Thursday on Greenville TV.  PC won to sweep the series 3 games to none.  Game three was played in Rocky Mount at Legion Field.  You see with the State Legion Tournament starting next weekend in Wilson the Wilson Tobs are playing more home games right now due to the fact they will not be able to play there for about a week.  When you compound that Wilson's other potential fields for Post 13 are muddy from all the rains up steps Post 58 to offer Legion field which was acceptable to both teams.  Too bad nobody knew about it ahead of time.

Pitt County will play Garner who beat Johnston County three games to one and the winner of that series will join Wilson July 25th when the State Tournament starts at Fleming in Wilson.  Already Morehead City and Wilmington have won the area two slots and will be coming to Wilson.

Hobbs Johnson pitched two more innings in Helena Montana and this time he gives up his first run that is earned.  His first four innings of his pro career he has allowed six hits, one earned run and struck out 3.  That is an ERA of 2.25 which is about where he was a Carolina.

I don't know whether he is injured or not but the X man Xavier Macklin has not batted for Vermont in the last week so he is still batting 208 in 24 bats.

Can you look at a minor leaguer's stats and tell what he means to his organization?  Brian  Goodwin is right now hanging at 254 batting average.  He has struck our 95 times in 93 games.  He has a total 28 extra base hits 13 doubles, 8 triples and 7 home runs.  Brian has batted more than 100 at bats more than any one else on the team.  He is playing every day.  You may remember last year when he first started in his minor league career that the Nationals said they wanted to give him about 1500 at bats in the minors.  If they want you on a certain track then you can't get an at bat sitting on the bench.

There is no doubt that since Debbie Yow has been at N C State she has found money under rocks that nobody knew money was there.  That old hay barn called Reynolds Coliseum is going to be renovated in 2015.  Women's basketball, Wrestling, Volleyball  and all of the ROTC programs will be booted out while the remodeling is done.  The old barn is getting a 34 million dollar upgrade.  I sure do hope they put Air conditioning in it.
