The Greatest strikeout pitcher in NC State History broke Terry Harvey's record last night and like what has happened all year the Pack fails to score a run and are shutout by Duke 2-0. Rodon on the year falls to 2-6 and his ERA hovers near two runs per game.
Last year Carlos Rodon pitched against Duke, Carolina in the ACC Tournament, against Cuba in the Summer and yesterday against Duke again all at the DBAP in Durham. He has allowed only 15 hits and struck out 52 in just 32 innings pitched. The last five games that Rodon has pitched for the Pack the Wolfpack offense has scored one run. His three year strikeout total now stands at 391 and the three year ACC record is 397. He is sixth all time in ACC history.
Rumors are flying that Hank Jones is having a hard time giving up Legion coaching and just might come back again this year. It surely would be good for Legion baseball if Hank can work it out to follow his daughter in travel league softball and keep coaching Legion. The success RMA had during the high school baseball season last year kept Hank occupied with playoffs and he was unable to scout at all the local high school games as he would like. RMA is not having the type season this year that they had last year.
Having gone to the Masters for the Tuesday practice round and riding in a car and being around the old ball coach BW Holt for about 36 hours not only do you get to hear a football clinic as you ride and talk but you hear information in which coach is proud of. His six years as head coach of the Rocky Mount Gryphons 29 players received athletic scholarships and after graduations coming up in May 21 will have graduated from college. It is hard not to love a man who can tell you where every player he has ever coached what they are doing years after they left his football nest.
The NHL hockey season ends Sunday and the playoffs start mid week and the Carolina Hurricanes will miss the playoffs for the fifth straight year. Seems so long ago 2006 and the Stanley Cup Champions Carolina Hurricanes.
Still another week to go in the NBA season and the Charlotte Bobcats will make the playoffs and are right now sitting in 6th spots which if they finish there will avoid Indy and Miami in the first round. Bring on the Hornets and the teal Jerseys.
I have not said anything this week about U Conn winning both NCAA titles in basketball. The only good thing in the whole deal is the one and done Kentucky Wildcats didn't win it. It is no surprise to me that TJ Warren will enter the draft. If the NBA draft on potential then the big center from Kansas will be the number one pick.
