Defense Lacking

Every now and then you go to a baseball game that has no flow.  The Bunn Rocky Mount baseball game had no flow what so ever.  The game took almost two and half hours and only went seven innings.

Between the two Rocky Mount walked three batters and hit two more while Bunn walked four and hit two others.  Between the two  teams Rocky Mount committed three errors and those three brought home four Wildcat Runs.  The Wildcats made two errors themselves and Rocky Mount's lone run scored off their error.  Plain  and simple this was hard game to watch.

The Wildcats got a double from David Morgan and scored on what should have been a groundout to end the inning but it went through the legs.  Bunn was gracious by returning the favor in the first.  Two outs Jamar Ellis scorched a ball down the line for a triple and scored on an error at short.

So we can start all over tied at one after one.Two outs with a runner on first with a walk Bunn had back to back singles and the second after centerfield miss played the ball with two  runs scoring.

Rocky Mount started the bottom of second with two walks wiped out on a double play.  Zack Keeter who started on the mound for the Gryphons gave up two hits in the third was relieved by David Harrison who gave up a wild pitch scoring one and another run scored on a squeeze play when the Gryphons had the runner on third dead to right but a wild throw plated another run.

Rocky Mount  had two runners on in the third and came up with a goose egg.  Twice more two runners were on or at least one runner on second but no cigar.  Davie Morgan knocked in Bunn's sixth runner in the fourth which was only the second earned run of the game.

Bunn out hit the Gryphons eight to five, Jamar  Ellis and Logan Pearce had two hits and Ben Seracki the  other.  Bunn had four base runners caught stealing.  Bunn beats Rocky Mount 6-1

The umpires were not the best for either teams as the ump on the bases failed to call an infield fly rule which the ball was caught. He called and out when the first baseman never touched the base and the ump behind the plate you never knew from pitch to pitch what he was going to call.  My guess is 250 pitches were thrown in this game with many batters with 3-2 counts.  This game simply is one to throw away the score book.

Next action for the Gryphons  is Monday as they host South Johnston.
