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.

Gurley Makes NFL Top 25
The NFL for the past several years during the off season has filled tv time with a ten week Wednesday night NFL Top 100 Players. They have made it down to the top 20 and standing at number 22 is Tarboro High's Todd Gurley.
Not bad at all for a player drafted by the then St Louis Rams in the first round and Gurley was recovering from knee surgery that ended his college career before the end of his third season. Top that off the Rams took extra special care and did not let Gurley see the field until the second half of game number three.
All he did was win rookie of the year rushing for over a thousand yards in just 13 games. Now that the Rams call LA home Gurley will now perform in the second biggest market and we all know that if you play in New York the media capital of the world you get extra attention as the greatest players and now with LA and back in the limelight you know Gurley with be on highlight reels every time he carries the ball. If he is the 22nd best player in the NFL and only played in 13 games where would he be if he had of played every game?
Kinston's Brandon Ingram is the property of LA Lakers as he was drafted second in the NBA draft Thursday night. Good time to be a Laker now that Kobe has finally retired.
We all are proud of our children for being the kind of people that they become and some moments they achieve levels in life we never dreamed possible. July my son Brooks who if you have looked at this blog much know that he is a Triathlon coach based in Raleigh and he has been invited to conduct three weeks of training camps for some of the best Tri runners in the USA.
He will be heading to Colorado Springs Colorado to the US Olympic Training Center. Top notch Tri Athlon athletes the best the USA has will work with Brooks a week at the time. It will not happen this Olympic year but a father's hope is I can attend the next Olympics at watch him coach a metal winner.
Coleman Pitt Post 58 is on the road tonight in Apex. They stand 3-0 in the Western Division of Area one. They are home again Tuesday when they host Garner.
Coastal Carolina us still alive in College World Series after a 7-5 win over Texas Tech. They have to beat TCU twice tonight and Saturday.
