Over the past several years the weather has not always been kind to Big East baseball. There was one year the regular season had so many makeup games the regular season ended on what would have been tournament finals night. Even had rain during tournament playing one night and rest of the tournament rained out.
We should have expected this but a line of heavy weather was heading out way Monday night and a wise thing happened. Opening night games were moved up to 5pm. Northern Nash at Southern Nash and Nash Central at Fike.
The big gamble by Southern Nash coach Todd Brewer to hold his ace to Tuesday worked just barely. Southern best Northern Nash 6-5 to advance to Rocky Mount Tuesday in the semi finals of the Big East. Northern's season is over.
The first time Southern Nash and Rocky Mount met. David Harrison beat Southern and Trevor Mills 2-0. Expect same type low scoring affair.
The other opening night game Fike beat Nash Central 2-1. Fike will now play Hunt Tuesday at Hunt. The loss for Nash Central drops them to 13-10 and no better than 4th in the Big East. Their chances of making the state tournament next week will now depend on having a better record of All the teams that will be fill out the brackets teams.
The Rocky Mount girls softball team's season ended last night losing to Southern Nash 10-0. After a 4-1 start in non conference games the Gryphon girls failed to win a conference game.
This has been a nice spring for Rocky Mount athletics. Tennis first place, soccer 1st place. Baseball second and track and field boys and girls hope to finish first or second Wednesday during conference championships
