Regardless of which side you pulled both sides had pitching as in 13 innings both sides had eight hits a piece. Rocky Mount Committed five errors and which resulted in one run being unearned of the three runs scored by Post 13. Wilson committed three errors and two runs for Rocky Mount scored after errors including the winning run.
Post 58 started RMA pitcher Reid Johnston and you can't fault his pitching. Five innings, one run on three hits and the one run was unearned. Tarboro's Trevor Wells pitched for two innings gave up two runs. David Harrison gave up one hit in two innings and for the extra innings Noah Schrock took the ball and allowed nothing to cross the plate for the final four inning. CP 58 shut out Post 13 the last seven innings.
Post 13 scored in the third after and error at second put a runner on. Spencer Brickhouse the Bunn highly touted player who is expected to go in the first round of the MLB draft next week doubled in their first run. It stayed scoreless until the sixth for P 13 until a walk, hit, wild pitch and an RBI single by Hunter Lee grew the lead to 3-0.
Post 13 pitching was excellent as Dillon Radford started and went six scoreless inning until P 58 touch him up with two runs. A walk and wild throw and hit by Trey Wells scored two. The eighth started with a Reid Johnson single, a sacrifice bunt by Zack Keeter and a double in the gap by Tyler Barrett knotted the score at three and that's the way it stayed until the 13th.
Luke Mills open the 13th with a pop up to second which was dropped. Post 58 took advantage of the opening granted by Wilson. Tyler Barrett advanced the runner to second with a bunt. Noah Schrock had a base hit as Mills advanced to third. Logan Pearce the RBI hero on Friday night with a hit in the bottom of the ninth did it again tonight this time a fly ball to center and Mills easily scored what proved to be the winning run as Post 13 went down in order in the 13th.
I'm telling you this team other than the first inning of the first game this team has had good pitching. Their pitching has been good enough to keep them in every game since. The first few games the hitting was porous but it seems to be rounding up.
If you want to watch entertaining baseball Post 58 will be back at Legion Field next Wednesday night with their second conference game. Tonight's victory pushed P 58 to 4-3 and winners of three in a row. After having sat through rain delays during the Raleigh Regional this past weekend this 13 inning affair was over at five after ten. It took only three hours to play 13 innings.
