Last Tuesday night Rocky Mount baseball walked off the field at Northern Nash having lost 7-0. Hitting was weak and the defense had the looked of little leaguers. Many Gryphon fans walked off the ball field wondering if they would win another game all year.
They had plenty of help from Nash Central Friday to win on the road and tonight Rocky Mount playing Hunt who like Rocky Mount stood 3-3 in conference and neither can afford another loss chasing Fike and Northern Nash. Rocky Mount explodes for five hits in the first and scores six runs and Blake Helms dodges Hunt threats all night as Rocky Mount who lost 6-0 to Hunt in Rocky Mount beats the Warriors 7-4. Rocky Mount has risen all the way to be tied for second with Northern Nash.
I have told you that every team in the Big East has one good pitcher and if he is pitching against you they just might clip you on that night. As unexpected as Rocky Mount going to Hunt winning Southern Nash has taken down Northern Nash 5-4. This knocks Northern to 4-3 and tied with Rocky Mount. Southern rises to 2-5 in league play. In order to make a shocking night final all this league needs now is for Nash Central to beat Fike. It almosted happened as Nash Central took Fike to extra innings before losing.
This sets up a Friday night showdown between first place Fike 6-1 11-5 against Rocky Mount 4-3 8-6. Rocky Mount with a victory could still win first as they have already beat Fike at Fike 8-4. A loss and they have no chance to finish first as they would fall three back with three to play.
Tuesday Collins Cuthrell was named as a semi finalist for DII player of the year. The DII award is called the Tino Matinez Award. As relayed on the blog yesterday with the stats he has how can he not be the best in DII?
