P58 White Wash Garner

Coleman Pitt has not played a game since a 7-4 lost last Wednesday night. Garner had advanced to 11 straight wins and during the week Post 58 has practiced shoring up it's defensive holes from last week and it paid off tonight. A fresh 58 squad shuts out Garner who loses for the first time 10-0 in eight innings.

Cody Smith pitched the first five innings allowing only two hits struck out five but a big item in the Cody Smith pitching  formula is he walked only a single batter.  Will Edwards pitch the last three innings gave up two hits he struck out five and hit one batters.  So P58's pitching goes eight innings on four hits.  After making 13 errors in two games last week P 58's D did not make a mistake tonight and with pitching like 58 got with the D this team played this club could really do well down the stretch.

The third item of this ball club is batting as they got nine hits on the night. Garner made two errors against last week but their D was covered up by our poor play.  Tonight Garner made four errors which P 58 took advantage of.

Ryan Williams went 3/4 with two doubles,David Wiliams had two hits but reached base all five at bats.  Blake Helms added two more hits. Chase Roupp and Garrison Vick joined the hit parade.  Talk about a big win tonight 0-2 facing maybe 0-3 if a Garner was to win tonight Post 58 made a statement that they will get a chance to add to Thursday as they Host Cary.

Tuesday night Xavier Macklin had his best night in pro baseball getting three hits for GateWay City. One of the hits left the yard for his fifth HR of the spring. X started the night hitting 226 and jumped to 244 by nights end.  Hobbs Johnson continues to pitch impressively in Brevard Florida.  He won his 7th game of the spring and his ERA continues to fall.   Brian Goodwin continues around 230 for a Syracuse who will be in Durham this weekend.

Some high school basketball news to pass along.  Rick Ruffin former Northern Nash basketball coach will be patrolling the sidelines at Halifax Academy next winter

Didn't see all the way to the end but how a bout those Virginia Wahoos.  They have scored five runs but are 2-0 in the college World Series.
