What did you expect between basketball and snow and early season baseball rain why would you think that last week's Easter break where not one game was delayed by rain would hold up once conference baseball returned. Hunt and Fike seeing the weather forecast moved their Tuesday game to last night at Fike and in essence they played for first place in the conference standings.
Hunt 3-2 7-6 was at Fike 3-1 8-5 trying to beat the Tuesday rain. Junior right hander Brandon Winstead for Fike pitched a no hitter as Fike takes over first place in the Big East dropping Hunt to 3-2 after the first round of conference play while Fike edges ahead of Nash Central 2-1 who maybe plays tonight
Tonight weather willing Rocky Mount 2-2 and 7-6 will travel to Northern Nash 2-2 and 6-7. I suspect Helms and Carter will toe the rubber for each team and since both teams have shown most of the spring so far I bet this will be a 2-1 game unless defense makes the gap wider.
Nash Central 2-1 and 3-8 visits Southern Nash 0-4 and 4-9. Both the Bulldogs and the Firebirds have one stopper on the pitching staff so I see no reason why not put your best out there against a rival.
They begin the second trip with each team playing each other for the second time starting Friday. Friday night May 1st which is 17 days away will be the last regular season game of the season. Didn't they just play their first games of the season last week?
The ACC baseball has a month to go before the tournament in Durham. If the ACC tournament started today Louisville would be first 16-2, Miami 14-4, Florida State. 11-7, the next five teams would be Carolina, Clemson, Wake Forest and Notre Dame and Georgia Tech at 9-9.
State at 8-9 is not in neither is Virginia who finished second at College World Series is 7-12. Not one North Carolina team can say they will make it right now and could you imagine the ACC tournament in Durham and not one NC school in it. It could happen. Can you see 500 showing up for the championship game featuring Louisville and Miami?

Golf's New Era
Jordan Spieth has played eight rounds of golf at Augusta National. As he walked off the green after each round he was in no worse position than fifth. That occurred after the final round last year playing in the final group with Bubba Watson last year shot and even parr 72. Today he walks off as a winner of a major golf tournament and all the world lies in front of him.
Every step he took today he either matched or broke Tiger's records. He could be the next dominating player in golf. Who knows he may be a Johnny Miller. The greatest golfer in the world for five years and wakes up one morning and can't putt any more. Many things can happen to Spieth in his future but boy wouldn't you love his start in pro golf.
UNC Pembroke has ten games to go in their regular season and Collins Cuthrell is four home runs from the all time Brave's record. He hit another one Sunday giving him 22 on the season. I know many players would love to have the day he had Sunday going 4-5 a homer and four RBI. By the way he is hitting 459 on the season. I know Pembroke is not an easy drive to see him play but Barton will be hosting UNCP Wednesday. The working man will have a hard time getting to Wilson for two 3pm games.
Hobbs Johnson got his first start of the season pitching only 2.3innings. He gave up an earned run but his rub was he walked four batters and didn't last long. His team this season is the Biloxi Shockers. They think they will have to play their first 54 games the road as Biloxi is a new team in AA baseball and their new home is not ready and may not be until June before they can play in the new stadium. They will play so called home games in Mobile and Huntsville until their stadium is ready.
State managed to get one win in Chapel Hill as Benton Moss could not throw a strike and Mike Fox pulled him in the third trailing 1-0. The one run he gave up happened in the third after Moss loaded the bases on three walks. If you watch the game on line on WATCH ESPN the umpire for most of the game was a coin flipper behind the plate. He flipped a coin after every pitch and decided whether it was a ball or strike. Benton didn't help much as he was about as wild as I have ever witnessed.
