Coleman Pitt Post 58 tasted defeat for the first time this year spotting Apex 6-0 lead after three innings and defense played a big Part with four errors. Showing heart CP 58 cut the lead to 6-5 but never was able to tie or take the lead finally giving up two more runs in the ninth to lose their first conference game of the season 8-5.
CP 58 out hit Apex Post 124 getting ten to only seven for Apex but when you add all the errors 8 on the night CP made a game of a game they should have lost by ten in seven innings. Blake Helms started on the mound for Post 58. He allowed four hits walked two but could not over come the four errors in the first three innings.
Will Edwards took over in the fourth and pitched the last six innings giving up two runs in the ninth. He kept P 58 in the game giving up three hits and five free passes. Four more errors came during those last six innings and Edwards seemed to always be in trouble but wiggle off the hook every time until the ninth.
Alex Yarem got the win for P124. Henry Simpson was the only Apex player collecting two hits.
David Williams had three hits and Chase Roupe had two. Linwood Jones, Christian Perry, Ryan Williams, Griffin Parker and Kalil Macklin all had one hit. Macklin hit a towering fly ball in the bottom of the seventh caught at the wall which could have given P58 the lead.
Post 58 is home again Wednesday night when they host Garner.
This Friday the Northern Nash football team will be hosting a Barbeque chicken dinner from 11am till 3pm. Boiled potatoes, string beans with the chicken will be sold for $7. If you buy ten plates or more they will deliver by calling Pat Griffin at 252-813-0493

Thank Goodness Goodbye Maryland
I was pulling hard for UVA tonight as they laid the leather to Maryland and are the only ACC team in the College World Series as the beat Maryland 11-2. It marks the last official activity of Maryland as an ACC member. I am so glad the quitters will not represent the the ACC. It would however been hard to explain if Maryland went to Omaha and won the Series and left the league giving the ACC their second all time World Series championship for the league. It would have been a hard pill to swallow having to hear that the second title ever came from a team no longer in the league. Thank you Virginia!
The ACC sent seven teams to the NCAA tournament which is about 11 per cent of all the teams in the field. They are one out of eight that will be in Omaha which is about 12.5 per cent which means the ACC held their own during the tournament. They still are alive to win it all. The key for me will be whether UVA hits the ball and scores runs. The pitching should keep them in every game. Virginia plays their first game in the World Series Sunday at 8pm against Mississippi. Go ACC!
I'm pulling hard for the San Antonio Spurs but after two games the Heat have played better than I expected. Even though they lost by 15 in game one the Heat was leading with under five minutes to play and then LaBron went down and out. I don't expect to LJ to miss any more games. Hope Tim Duncan and company can get one in Miami or they just might be in trouble.
I know TV has a lot to do wth why the NHL is down to game four of the Stanley Cup Finals and the NBA is only looking at game three on Tuesday. Here it is almost the middle of June and a winter sport hockey and a winter sport basketball is still being played. You know both sports started their playoffs around the 20th of April and are not through yet.
Tuesday Post 58 is home as they host Apex Tuesday night. If you want to see a good brand of baseball you need to see this team. They begin conference play with Apex. Coach Hank Jones wanted to play better quality teams in conference and that is why we are in the same division as the Triangle teams because if you remember last year between Ahoskie, Windsor, Edenton and Albemarle those four could hardly get enough players to play each and every game.
Last year was once we got to the park was there enough in the other dugout to play tonight. When we did most of the time only played seven innings and that is not helping your team prepare for the playoffs. If Post 58 has a good record at the end of the regular season playing in this division then we will be prepared once the playoff starts a July 3rd. Come see a fun team Tuesday Apex and
Wednesday with Garner. We will have a good idea about this team by 11pm Wednesday night.

Chase For Triple Crown
I hope you had a chance to hear the comments by one of the owners of the horse California Chrome. If there is ever an example of poor sportsmanship and you want to hear poor sportsmanship try to find it on the internet some where.
Those that haven't heard it he blamed horse racing as to why his horse lost the triple crown. He thinks in order to win the triple crown your horse should have to run all three of the triple crown races. The horse that won Saturday's Belmont this is the only race of the triple crown races that the horse had entered.
I have always amagined that when I won the lottery that I would buy a thousand acres of land and put up white fences and go in the horse business. I would think horses are just like human athletes that they get injured. Some horses are slower developers than others and you run them when you think
They are ready.
California Crome 's owner claimed his horse was tired where a fresh horse was able to win the race. You know one of the dramatic parts of the Belmont that the Belmont is a mile and a half which is a brutal race for horses. Just maybe the race was too far for the Crome.
I know nothing about race strategy but if I was in the second lane and the race track is shorter the closer you are to the rail why then do you run your horse as if he has the fourth position. So the owner admits his horse is tired and now your jockey runs a poor race then why do you think your horse should win
The only time I watch horse racing is the Triple Crown races and this year I didn't watch one of them live so I didn't care too much about any of the races. Twenty four hour a day sports TV and radio there is plenty of time to see the race ten times. It also leaves plenty of opportunity to hear some one who has every excuse for losing rant and let the world know what a poor sport he is.

Moss Picked By Giants
The third year in a row a Rocky Mount High School baseball player had been drafted by a Major League Baseball team. Benton Moss a junior at the University of North Carolina has been drafted by the San Francisco Giants in the 15th round.
According to MLB.com Moss is believed to be a relief pitcher in his future if baseball is his future.
The junior at Carolina is on the Morehead Cain scholarship which has sent him the the Rocky Mountains his freshman year, to Africa his sophomore year and last summer in the office of the New York Yankees.
Moss from Enfield was enrolled in the I B Program while at Rocky Mount High School and his grades at Rocky Mount were so good that several classes at Carolina he got credit for and now at the end of his junior year he is just short of qualifying for graduation from UNC.
The big question now is will Moss sign and play pro ball this summer and go back to Carolina in the fall to finish his business degree or do the rules of the Morehead allow him to leave the scholarship early? Regardless it is a nice situation to find yourself and I don't know of many people who wouldn't love to have his decision to make.
Great start for Coleman Pitt Post 58 as the are undefeated with four victories and a tie. Pitching and the defense have been outstanding so far as they have given up only 16 runs in five games while the offense hasn't been bad scoring 45.
Post 58 is in a new division this season playing with the Raleigh area teams and we don't have to wait long to find out whether this 4-0 start will hold up in the new division as they host Apex and perennial power Garner Tuesday and Wednesday night. The two home games so far there was an outstanding crowd at the opener against Wayne County. The crowd was good against Pitt County since the threat of rain persisted the entire game. We will find out a lot about this years Post 58 who has a double header at home Saturday at 3pm hosting Roxboro.

Ninety Degrees
I find it very funny that the NBA players Association thinks 90 degree temperatures in San Antonio's Arena was too hot to play. Just Friday college baseball players are playing outside in upper 90 degrees in some places so what's the big deal.
I have sat in Reynolds Coliseum a many a night when it was forty outside and near a 100 inside. I am sure the folks at Duke could attest same type conditions in Durham. The issue is LaBron had cramps and didn't play the last five minutes.
I have no issue what ever with LaBron getting cramps and having to sit out. Just maybe the Heat could have done a better job to protect their players with more fluids and less playing time. Anyone who has ever in the middle of the night felt their calf cramp up and your big toe pull straight knows that LaBron had little choice about playing until relief came.
The question that I see is how really good is Miami without LaBron? Just last week San Antonio without their all star point guard Tony Parker came from behind at the half after Parker sprained his ankle in game six of the Western Conference finals on the road at OKC.
Then there is the six titles during Michael Jordan's run three before his first retirement and three when he came back. None for the Bulls without him. Can this Miami team beat anybody without LaBron?
I find it hard to sit and watch NBA basketball because of the one on one play. I can however watch The Spurs do to the fact they play as a team. In fact they led the league in assists this season. If it weren't for a three point shot from the front row by Ray Allen last year in game six San Antonio would be chasing six titles during the Tim Duncan era.
Post 58 has stayed unbeaten beating Post 39 6-3. They are now 4-0-1 on the season. Their next action is Tuesday night at home.

Post 58 Out Pitches Post 39
Coleman Pitt Post 58 got six strong innings from starter Blake Helms who's only run that crossed the plate he struck out the batter. Helms allowed two hits struck four and walked a single batter. The fourth inning Helms threw a 58 foot curve ball which the batter Jehreil House swung and missed but the ball bounced all the way to the back stop. House reach third on a single by Bailey Sugg and a sacrifice fly by Drew Piscorik.
M J Jones came in relief and pitched the final three innings giving up a run on three hits he struck out three and walked a single batter. On the night Post 58 pitching gave up five hits and walked two batters in holding Post 39 to two runs.
The opposite dugout wasn't quite as good as 13 P 58 batters reached base with walks or hit batters. P 58 had six hits and one runner reach on an error. Six Post 58 runners scored from third base on wild pitches. Another scored on a bases loaded walk with Luke Mills getting an RBI. The 11 runs that Coleman Pitt scored only five RBI were had. Garrison Vick got a RBI on on a ground out. The final RBI came on a Chase Roupe single. Khalil Macklin got two RBI with a two runner homer. Final Post 58 11 Post 39 2.
Post 58 runs it record to 3-0-1 and will travel to Pitt County Friday night at Pitt Community College. Their next home game is Tuesday night against Apex Post 124.
Tuesday in their game with Ahoskie Post 102 Will Edwards went the distance which was 7 innings striking out 8 in the 14-1 Post 58 win.
Xavier Macklin is still playing in the Frontier League for Gate City. He has hit three homers and is batting 268.
Carlos Rodon of NC State was the third player in the major league draft as he was picked 3rd in the first round by the Chicago White Sox. He is the highest drafted player in NC State history.
ECU pitcher Jeff Hoffman despite just having under gone Tommy John Surgery was picked ninth by the Toronto Blue Jays.
Trea Turner became the second highest drafted player at NC State when he went 13th in the draft to the San Diego Padres.

P 58 Wins Again
Tuesday night Post 58 made their only trip to the Northeastern part of North Carolina when they traveled to Ahoskie and played Post 102. The bats were hot and the pitching must have been fine too as Coleman Pitt beats 102 14-1 in seven innings.
This is win number two on the year without a defeat but they do have one tie. They are at home in action Thursday night at Legion Field with the first pitch coming near 7pm. Pitt County will provide the competition. They will play each other again Friday at Pitt County.
The final stats are all in and Benton Moss has ended his junior season playing for the university of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. He winds up with a 4-2 won loss record and through three years playing for the Heels his overall record is 19-5. He pitched the most innings on the team for the season and ended with an ERA of 3.65.
If I understand twitter language Xavier Macklin is no long playing in the minor league Frontier League for the Gate Way Grizzlies. He is no longer listed on their stats sheets. Seems as X Man is looking to possibly play pro ball in France or Australia. See what I can find out from his brother Khalil at the Legion Game.
Brian Goodwin's batting average for the Syracuse Chiefs is down to 213. He has hit two homers, two triples and has eight doubles so far this season. If you want to see Brian in action the Syracuse a Chiefs will be in Durham taking on the Bulls at the DBAP June 20-23. This is the only time this year Brian and the Chiefs will be in Durham.
Hobbs Johnson record playing at Brevard Florida is now 4-6. His losses are not because of Hobbs' pitching. His earn run average is 2.95 which would lead anyone to believe his teammates are not scoring runs when he is on the mound.
I know many of you have boys and girls, brother and sisters grand ma and grand pa's who go see the family members play from city league, Babe Ruth or Legion. The city of Rocky Mount's Parks and Recreation baseball has reached the tournament stage as the regular season is over. The 7/8 championship is Monday the 9/10 Tuesday and Senior Little League is the 12th pending the weather.
