Couldn't Catch It Tonight

Coleman Pitt Post 58 tasted defeat for the first time this year spotting Apex  6-0 lead after three innings and defense played a big Part with  four errors.  Showing heart CP   58 cut the lead to 6-5 but never was able to tie or take the lead finally giving up two more runs in the ninth to lose their first conference game of the season 8-5.

CP 58 out hit Apex Post 124 getting ten to only seven for Apex but when you add all the errors 8 on the night CP made a game of a game they should have lost by ten in seven innings.  Blake Helms started on the mound for Post 58.  He allowed  four hits walked two but could not over come the four errors in the first three innings.

Will Edwards took over in the fourth and pitched the last six innings giving up two runs in the ninth.  He kept P 58 in the game giving up three hits and five free passes. Four more errors came during those last six innings and Edwards seemed to always be in trouble but wiggle off the hook every time until the ninth.

Alex Yarem got the win for P124.  Henry Simpson was the only Apex player collecting two hits.
David Williams had three hits and Chase Roupe had two. Linwood Jones, Christian Perry, Ryan Williams, Griffin Parker and Kalil Macklin all had one hit.  Macklin hit a towering fly ball in the bottom of the seventh caught at the wall which could have given P58 the lead.

Post 58 is home again Wednesday night when they host Garner.
