It is a Saturday and it is not a conference game so today's non conference tilt is not a live and die conference game but nobody ever wants to lose any game.
A team still needing to find quality pitching the Gryphons sent Joernest Petway to the hill. He has a couple of inning under his belt but on those tough nights when it may take four pitchers to pull out a victory can we count on Joe?
The answer is yes as Petway gets a five inning complete game as Rocky Mount puts away Tarboro 10-0. Petway gives up just one hit. He was just wild enough to walk five and struck out seven. He become the third Rocky Mount pitcher to throw a shutout this week and the 6th Gryphon shutout of the season.
The Gryphons wasted little time plating three runs in the first as Jake Philbeck rejoined the lineup after injury laced a single scoring two runs. Philbeck later scored on a wild pitch.
The second saw two walks and an infield single by Logan Pearce. Spencer Ramsey gets credit for and rbi walking with the bases loaded. A run scored on a Jamar Ellis center field sac fly and David Harrison knocked home a run. Ben Seracki doubles home two runs and its 8-0 after two.
Rocky Mount started the fourth with back to back hits from Ellis and a David Harrison double. Ellis scored on an pitcher error and Harrison on a Victor Ward single. That would give the Gryphons a 10-0.
Petway set the Vikings down in the fifth. Justin Webb recorded the only Tarboro single with a lead off single in the third. Rocky Mount has two conference road games at Northern Nash Tuesday and at Nash Central Thursday night. The Gryphons jump their overall record to 8-3.
The NCAA basketball championship will have a Carolina in the finals the North Carolina Tar Heels. As long as Kennedy Meeks touched the ball inside Carolina controlled the game but when they go shooting threes and Meeks doesn't touch it they kept Oregon in the game. Carolina certainly cannot hold the ball without attacking the basket. They get a chance Monday to win their sixth title.
