It was cold and windy which was about like every day has seemed in the last month and tonight Rocky Mount and Nash Central begin the Big East season on the Bulldogs home turf. I love old movies especially ones with Walter Brennen is in it. He is in one with Spencer Tracy called Rogers Rangers. There is a scene in that movie where they are traveling through a swamp and have to sleep in a tree. Brennen wakes up upside down in the tree branch and makes the statement I'll slept in worse places but I can't remember where. I am sure that I have been to colder baseball games I just can't remember when.
Tyler King pitches a complete game three hitter striking out 11 Gryphons, walked just two batters on the night and leads Nash Central to a 6-1 win over Rocky Mount. Nash Central tagged Gryphon starter Cody Smith for one run in the first off a lead off double by Khalil Macklin and then an RBI single by David Sutton and Nash Central had a run before the first out.
(DH) Zach Dutton drove home the Bulldogs second run in the third and added two more runs in the fifth with a double. One run scored on a fielders choice by Matt Sikes while two more walk in with the bases loaded.
Rocky Mount only base runner was lead off batter Forest Bell as the first batter of the game but King preceded to get the next 12 batters until Blake Helms laced the Gryphons first hit of the game leading off the fifth. Josh Carter got the Gryphons second hit one out later but no one crossed the plate after King struck out the next two batters.
The lone Gryphon run came in the sixth when Forest Bell singled to start the inning, Andy Morris walked both runners moved up on a wild pitch and Bell scored on a grounder by Sam Lilley. The lone error of the game happened to start the Gryphon seventh but King killed any rally hopes by striking out the last two batters.
Nash Central joins Northern Nash at 1-0 in conference play as they beat Hunt Monday at Hunt 3-2 behind the eight strikeout performance by Tyler Barrett. At this writing have no word on the Fike at Southern Nash game tonight.
