Rocky Mount and Nash Central will try once again Wednesday night to get there conference season started. The All New Sports Show will be there Wednesday recording for TV. I will be there doing the play by play.
The major lead baseball season is already under way with a series last weekend in Australia. Sunday night will be the true opening day and our three local players trying to move up the ladder in pro baseball will be heading to their minor league teams.
Brian Goodwin got to see what life is all about with the big club the Washington Nationals as he has spent the spring in Florida as a special invitee of the Nationals. He is not on the 40 man roster of the Nationals but they kept in with the big club letting him see how it is done in the majors. Looks as if he will start back at double A but all the word is Brian is still on schedule to be the starting left fielder for the Nationals in 2015.
Hobbs Johnson has spent the spring in Arizona in Phoenix at the minor league facility of the Milwaukee Brewers. They play their minor league games in the same stadium as the major league club Maryvale Stadium which seats 7,000. Hobbs looks as he will start where he finished last season in Appleton Wisconsin with the Timber Rattlers.
Xavier Macklin still in hopes of that baseball dream has found a home for the summer in the Frontier League playing for the Gateway Grizzlies in Sauget Illinois which is near St Louis. The Frontier League is an independent league which means their teams are not associated with any major club but every player is still hoping someone with a big club will see them and move them up the baseball ladder. The season runs about 90 games and begins mid May.
NC Wesleyan is off to. a 7-15 start so far this season. Freshman Spencer Ramsey is 4-0 pitching for the Battling Bishops. Ramsey as a high school Gryphon was valuable as a short stop and until his senior year was seldom used as a pitcher. Here at the next level plus his Legion experience he has become a main stay for Charlie along. He is second on the team in innings pitched.
There are three other players from the area playing for Wesleyan. Northern's Tyler Clark, Tarboro's Chase Johnson and Nash Central's Dillon Moore.
