Gryphons Go AfterTwo Tournament Titles.

Rocky Mount girls soccer team already the Big East regular season champion 9-1 went after the tournament title hosting Hunt while the Rocky Mount boys baseball traveled to Hunt looking for a tournament title after Hunt won the regular season title going 9-1 and the Gryphons were 8-2.

Last week the boys tennis team swept through the Big East tennis tournament sweeping all nine points  in the finals.  Tonight the Lady Gryphons finished off Hunt in a shutout 5-0 to win both of their tournament matches by a combined 14-0.  The Lady Gryphons led 2-0 at the half adding three scores in the second.They will now host starting as early as next Wednesday in the state playoffs and with their record they will get maybe three home games if they keep winning but two for sure.

The conversation since Tuesday has been who between the best two baseball teams in the Big East was who has the best number two starting pitcher. Tonight  at Hunt we found both teams have a quality second man and for Rocky Mount it is freshman Ben Seracki.

Logan Pearce doubles home the tying run in the fourth after Hunt scored in the second inning. .  The fifth Rocky Mount's second  run crossed the plate after Jamar Ellis hit a sacrifice fly and that was all the scoring and the Gryphons by winning the tournament get an automatic bid to next weeks state tournament which will more than likely give them a shot at two home game starting May 10th.

Ben Seracki pitched a complete  game throwing 67 pitches.  He gave up four hits and struck out one and you can see right there it doesn't take many pitches when the other teams goes to the plate swinging the bat and you walk only two batters.

Hunt started Josh Fuller who pitched four and a third innings allowed both runs and four hits.  He did not walk a batter struck out two.  Parker Garris pitched the final two and one third innings surrendering two hits struck out four and walked a batter.

This game was played just under an hour forty and that happens when the pitching doesn't walk many.

Logan Pearce had a double and rbi and a single. Josh Pittman a single, Jamar Ellis had a single and rbi, David Harrison single and  Ben Seracki helped his cause with a hit.

The third conference tournament game was softball and it is the second game of the night to be a one run game as Hunt beats Southern Nash 4-3 in eight innings.
