Post 58 Gets Revenge

Last Thursday Coleman Pitt Post  58 let one get away when they faced off with Cary just one night after playing possibly their best game in maybe five years when they knocked off previously unbeaten Garner.  They controlled most of the game but a defensive lapse open the door for Cary  to win 10-8.

Sunday afternoon P 58 traveled  to Cary and played at Athens Drive High School.  Cody Smith took the hill for Post 58 and gave Rocky Mount exactly what they needed going eight innings  and only in the ninth did David Williams give Smith a rest.  P 58  scored seven times on the afternoon while Smith and Williams limited Cary to a single run as Post 58 wins their fourth division  game while losing three.

Just 11 days ago Post 58 stood 0-2  and were on the verge of just maybe not making the playoffs but a week off for graduation has spurred the revived P58.  They have won four out of five division games and the season has turned toward P 58 way.  There has been a learning process for Hank Jones in regard to the few days before graduation an a few after.   Years past  players went to the beach and had no desire to play so to offset that take a break at graduation time.  Not only do you not lose games with limited players but fresh players are then ready to drive for the stretch run to seasons in.

Next action for a Post 58 is scheduled for Thursday night at home in a non conference game with Ahoskie.  P 58 still has to make up a rainout at Apex so that could happen before Thursday.  Saturday Post 58 host Raleigh Post one in a double header which depending on the Apex makeup could be the final conference games.  Right now a trip to Wayne County and a home game with Wilson close out the schedule.

Michelle Wie wins the Woman's Open bringing to an end the Pinehurst  14 days reign as the golf Capitol of the world.  It served us all well.

The ACC has a shot to break the the 59 year drought  since the last ACC title.  Virginia after going 3-0 in their bracket  while Vanderbilt was 3-1 start a two out of three Monday.  The Commodores are the offensive team while Virginia is the pitching.  If there is a hope for the ACC is they can look no further than last year at UCLA.  The ball park in Omaha is a pitchers park but the Cavs will still need to score enough runs to win.
