It's Do Or Die Time For Post 58

Those of you that have been to more than one Legion game this season especially since there was a desire to play in a better quality division.  Post  58 is 5-3-1 on the season.  They are 1-3 in  in division   4-0-1 when playing the eastern division.  Joe Bell Post 58 Athletic Officer and Hank Jones manager have gotten what they wanted.

What they don't want is to finish 6th and not even make the playoffs.  Standing at 1-3 in division Saturday's double header with Roxboro  is as they say in the airline business as the point of no return.  Three and three and they are right in the middle of the playoff hunt.  1-5 then it is time to not lose another division game.

Just a minute here let's talk about what playing better competition has done.  Those two games we lost last week when P 58 made 8 errors and lost 7 to 4 and the next game 5 errors and lost 8-5 we just might have won both in last year's division.  I certainly thinks that tells you the difference this year over last, even Thurdays game when we played in cruise control we would have won last year.

I know this two games Saturday is much needed but it is very difficult to find what everyone's record is.  I have no idea what type team Roxboro is. They just might be the best team in the division but nobody knows where to find everyone's record.

Game time for two seven inning games start at 3pm.  We travel to Cary Sunday night which will leave only three conference games left before July one.  Two will be a double header with Raleigh next Saturday and a make up game with Apex still to be scheduled.  Season is running out and Post 58 is a lap behind .
