Coleman Pitt Post 58 celebrated one of their own being inducted into the NC Amerian Legion Baseball Hall of Fame and then the team celebrated victory with a 13-3 win over Ahoskie Post 102.
MJ Jones got the start and pitched the first three innings. The next three innings Hank Jones sent Chase Roupp to the hill and other than the sixth when he gave up three runs like Jones got the job done. Blake Helms pitched the seventh and that is all it took on the night. Ahoskie collected nine hits but very time they threatened Post 58 made a defensive play to quail any threat.
The first three batters reached base for P58 with hits as Linwood Jones beat out an infield hit reached second on a throwing error. Blake Helms followed with a hit and Khalil Mackin tripled to give P 58 a two nothing lead. Macklin scored on a Griffin Parker sac fly.
The game stayed 3-0 until Post 58 put an eight spot on the board in the fifth with a lead off single by Jones and error got him to 3rd and Blake Helms drove him home. Ryan Williams brought Helms home. David Williams single produced a run and Carson Arthur single score two more. Linwood Jones got on base three times that Post 102 erred and Blake Helms getting his 2nd hit of the inning knocked in two more runs. David Williams drive in run eight.
Trying to keep the game going Ahoskie scored three in the sixth but P 58 added two in the bottom to finish it off at 13-3. Coleman Pitt record is now 9-3-1 but a double header Saturday will just about determine Post 58 play off standings when they play Raleigh Post 1. As far as we can tell Post 1 is 6-1 in division play with three to play. If they have one lost and we beat them twice we would be tied but two losses would drop P 58 either fourth or fifth
The game scheduled with Wilson July one as of now is off as we will make up our rainout with Apex that night. If we finish at least third our first playoff game will not happen until July 7th and Wilson already knows they don't play until the seventh we might play them Wednesday or Thursday. That is pending our standings outcome.
P58 produced 12 hits lead by Blake Helms with four, three others had two hits Linwoood Jones,David Williams and Carson Arthur. Khalil Mackin and Ryan Williams had the other two P 58 hits
