TAKING NO CHANCES: Impending rain heading our way for Thursday and Friday morning Friday night's Northern Nash -Rocky Mount baseball and softball games have been moved to 4:30 today. The soccer match will be at 5:00pm
Rocky Mount held true to their Big East season tonight at Southern Nash. Blake Helms drove in three runs and Josh Carter collect three hits as Rocky Mount beats Southern Nash 6-0. He not only hit the ball but Blake Helms was a big man on the mount tonight as he has numbers pitching that you have to go back to Benton Moss days at Rocky Mount to see these type numbers.
Helms pitches a complete game shutout gives up only one hit walks only two batters but on this night struck out 15. The Gryphon defense only had to make six outs as Helms took care of the rest as the Gryphons go to 5-4 while Southern Nash drops to 2-7.
The first game of great interest to Rocky Mount was at Nash Central where Hunt was tied with Rocky Mount for third and Nash Central was tied with Southern Nash for last at 2-6. Tonight Nash Central breaks a six game losing streak in the Big East knocking Hunt to fourth Place beating the Warriors 6-2. Hunt falls to 4-5 while Nash Central ups their record to 3-6.
The final game of the night was at Fike where Fike with a victory would claim the Big East regular season championship and Fike held serve winning at home 5-3 over Northern Nash. The victory gets Fike to 8-1 while Northern Nash falls to 5-4 setting a showdown game at Rocky Mount Friday for the number two seed and a bye in next week's Big East Tournament.
The lost Friday for either RM/NN could fall into a tie with Hunt who must beat Fike Friday to force a tie between RM/NN loser. The Rocky Mount /Northern Nash winner will be guaranteed a playoff spot where the loser will get third and has to hope for nobody behind them in the standings win the tournament knocking out the third seed.
