Benton Moss pitched eight innings on Sunday giving up two hits walked a couple and struck out six. His six strike outs moves him in to rarified air at the University of North Carolina. He becomes only the fourth pitcher in UNC history to strike out 300 batters in a career. He trails only Andrew Miller, Alex White, Patrick Johnson then it's Benton Moss.
His eight innings of work was good enough to earn his sixth victory of the year 6-0 and move him into 9th place on the all time wins list with 25. Eight innings two hits, two walks and six K's and zero runs which lowers his ERA to 2.77 on the year. He has struck out 51 batters in 48 innings of work this season.
The three game series with Boston College Carolina pitching gave up just one run over the weekend and moved the Tar Heels into a really good position into making the ACC Tournament with a 13-10 record with two weekend series left on the season.
Collins Cuthrell failed to hit a home run this weekend which was the last game of the year and at this point he is the all time leading home run hitter in UNC Pembroke history for a season with 25 breaking the record that was 16. He is one short of the Peach Belt Record of 26 but he will have next week's conference tournament to at least tie or maybe break the record. He finishes the season hitting 441 which is top 20 in D II baseball. Will have to wait to see if the 25 homeruns winds up finishing first as D II stats will be out Monday afternoon when all this past weekend series stats included.
Last week I questioned Hobbs Johmson's first two starts whether he was On a pitch count or not. His first start lasted only 2.1 innings. Come to find out there was a rain delay and after the delay he did not comeback to the mound.
If he continues to pitch the way he has started the season AAA here we come. His last outing he got his first win of the season to go to 1-0 and I his three starts has pitched 11.1 innings and his ERA is .087. Those are numbers that get you to the next level quick. We all know how ever this early in the year one bad outing and the numbers fall apart.
Brian Goodwin still has not played this season for the Syracuse Chiefs.
