Taken To The Wood Shed

 Legion baseball season in most years is just a little more than a month and most seasons 20 games are played in 30 days.  That has not happened for Coleman Pitt Post 58 this season as tonight was one month to the day since the start of the season and Post 58 was playing game ten and only their fourth in the last two plus weeks.  There is something in our life to routine and it is hard to have a routine when you are not playing at least four nights a week.

Nine days ago Post 58 hosted Apex Post 124 and in Rocky Mount it took twelve innings before Post 58 pulled out a 3-2 win.  Tonight at Apex High School the first inning was a draw but Apex put together multiple runs in the second and third inning to run off to a 10-0 lead over Coleman Pitt.  Cameron Taylor started for Post 58 but he was replaced by TreyWells, Noah Shrock and Tyler Sherrod.

To Post 58's credit they didn't go quietly as they cut the lead to 10-2, Apex made it 11-2 then 11-3 and by the end of the sixth inning 13-3. P 58 added three in the 7th to cut the lead to 13-6.  It looked like they may not get mercy ruled tonight but Apex plates three in the bottom of the Seventh to win in seven 16-6.

Apex pounded out 20 hits in seven innings.  Post 58 must regroup suffering their first defeat in division play and return to action Monday night at Cary.  Tonight's loss stops a six game winning streak and the stand 6-4 and 3-1.

The College World Series is down to four teams and Friday the two undefeated teams Oklahoma St and TCU had chances to go undefeated in their Brackets and qualify for the two out of three final which starts Monday.

Arizona did everything they could do and by beating Oklahoma State 9-3 they have forced a winner take all double elimination game Saturday with the winner advancing to Monday's finals.  Coastal Carolina has become the darling of the College World Series and they sent their ace Andrew Beckwith back to the mound for the second time this week with the same result.  A 4-1 victory for  Coastal Carolina over TCU causing a double header Saturday winner take all for the right to make it to the final two teams.
