P 58 Wins Again

Tuesday night Post 58 made their only trip to the Northeastern part of North Carolina when they traveled to Ahoskie and played Post 102.  The bats were hot and the pitching must have been fine too as Coleman Pitt beats 102 14-1 in seven innings.

This is win number two on the year without a defeat but they do have one tie.  They are at home in action Thursday night at Legion Field with the first pitch coming near 7pm.  Pitt County will provide the competition.  They will play each other again Friday at Pitt County.

The final stats are all in and Benton Moss has ended his junior season playing for the university of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.  He winds up with a 4-2 won loss record and through three years playing for the Heels his overall record is 19-5.  He pitched the most innings on the team for the season and ended with an ERA of 3.65.

If I understand twitter language Xavier Macklin is no long playing in the minor league Frontier League for the Gate Way Grizzlies.  He is no longer listed on their stats sheets. Seems as X Man is looking to possibly play pro ball in France or Australia.  See what I can find out from his brother Khalil at the Legion Game.

Brian Goodwin's batting average for the Syracuse Chiefs is down to 213.  He has hit two homers, two triples and has eight doubles so far this season.  If you want to see Brian in action the Syracuse a Chiefs will be in Durham taking on the Bulls at the DBAP June 20-23.  This is the only time this year Brian and the Chiefs will be in Durham.

Hobbs Johnson record playing at Brevard Florida is now 4-6. His losses are not because of Hobbs' pitching.  His earn run average is 2.95 which would lead anyone to believe his teammates are not scoring runs when he is on the mound.

I know many of you have boys and girls, brother and sisters grand ma and grand pa's who go see the family members play from city league, Babe Ruth or Legion.  The city of Rocky Mount's Parks and Recreation baseball has reached the tournament stage as the regular season is over.  The 7/8 championship is Monday the 9/10 Tuesday and Senior Little League is the 12th pending the weather.

NCAA Baseball Turned Upside Down

Eight College Baseball teams were given top eight seeds which the History of the NCAA playoffs is that the top eight always host Super Regionals next weekend.  Not this year how ever, as five of the eight  have lost on their home field twice this past weekend and in a few cases to never heard of teams.

Nine of the 16 host teams failed to win their regional  on their home field.  To say the least college baseball is turned upside down as the power house teams are home next weekend and quite a few no names will be featured.

The only four seed to win was College of Charleston who won in the Florida Regional.  Oregon State lost their Regional to number three UC Irvin.  Another number three Kennesaw State won in Tallahassee.  Well who is Kennesaw State?  They are located 25 miles north of Atlanta and have an enrollment of 25,000 so it is no small fry even though you have never heard of them.

Stanford a number three won the Indiana Regional.  Out west Pepperdine  another number three took care of Cal Poly. The other four winners were number two seeds so these were considered top 32 teams so those four are not shockers winning.  Texas won at Rice, Houston won at LSU, Texas Tech won at Miami and Maryland won at South Carolina.

Both of the teams from North Carolina are out with Campbell winning their first ever NCAA playoff game and North Carolina playing this weekend about the way they have played all year.  2-2 after going 16-14 during the regular season in the ACC.

The ACC has two teams that has survived to make it to the sweet 16. They will collide against each other in Charlottesville Virginia this weekend.  Will be rooting for the Hoos as they play the quitters(of the ACC) Maryland.  Sure don't want the Maryland Terps to make it to the College World Series.  Wouldn't it be something the Maryland of all people brings a National Championship to the ACC.
