Fike sent Brandon Winstead to the hill while Rocky Mount countered with David Harrison. Both pitchers put on a show as in his six innings pitched Harrison struck out nine Golden Demons. Winstead who has thrown a no hitter and a one hitter during conference play can now add a two hit shutout to his resume' as Fike scores twice in the fifth and that is all they need winning 2-0.
Harrison opened the fifth walking the only batter he walked all night. Jase Lamm singled and with two outs a routine fly ball to center was misplayed and D J Daniels get a two RBI double and that's all Fike needed in winning their seventh of eight conference games.
Rocky Mount's first hit didn't come until one out in the fifth when Channing Green hit a grounder towards third and beat it out for and infield single and the throw sent Green to second. The play of the game happened after Green stole third and Forest Bell hit a hot shot deep along the third base bag and Golden Demon third baseman Jase Lamm backhanded the ball and made a strong throw to first to nip Bell and save the shutout.
David Harrison couldn't pitch any better for Rocky Mount as Rocky Mount lose their fourth game by being shutout in conference play. They fall to 4-4 and fall to third after Nothern Nash beat Nash Central to take over second place at 5-3. Hunt beat Southern Nash 1-0 and by doing so tie Rocky Mount at 4-4.
Fike clinches at least a bye in the upcoming Big East Tournament as they can lose no more than three conference games while everyone except Northern has at least four losses. Northern can still tied for first as they draw Fike Tuesday and finish with Rocky Mount while Fike finishes next week with Hunt.
