Both pitchers pitched really well. Both teams had a few chances with runners on 3rd but couldn't get them in. Porter Ridge's Brent Thomas base hit in the 5th scores the only run for PR.

 

Jim Valvano's NC State team in the making....terrific story

NWC defeats Catholic

Northwest Cabarrus - 5 and Charlotte Catholic - 4
Wow what a game!!! NWC 2B Corey Seager drove in 3 runs, including a 2 run homer and the game winning double with 2 out and runners at 1st and 2nd. Both starting pitchers in this one were outstanding, Daniel Stewart of CC and Rob Bain of NWC. The game was played in the rain, which made it tough for defenders on both sides, but this game was filled with great plays. Both teams OF's made some unbelievable plays that should be on "Sportscenter".
NWC took the lead in the 1st after Will Miller reached on a "E-6" and C. Seager hits a bomb the other way over the LF fence. CC lefty Stewart then composed himself to get out of the inning. NWC lefty Bain was in control early, but after an "E-5" put a runner on, CC scored to cut it to 2-1. NWC used small ball to score a run and take a 3-1 lead into the top of the 6th. Bain recorded 2 outs, then gave up a double followed by a 2 Run homer to even it at 3. The bottom of the 6th saw NWC DH Michael Hagwood lead off with a double and once again used a sac. bunt to advance him to 3rd and then a Sac. fly to take a 4-3 lead into the 7th. CC leadoff reached on an "E-6" and then loaded the bases with 2 singles, with no outs. This is where CC lost this one... after a single to shallow center, they tie the score at 4 but get "greedy" and send the runner from 2B also and he's out at the plate, the runner who had advanced to third slips after taking a huge turn and he is out also (Credit NWC 1st Baseman with cutting off the ball and running at the runner to apply the tag and making a great throw to third for a DP you never see) . So instead of bases loaded with no outs in a tie game, its a runner on 1B with 2 outs, then Bain gets a ground out to 2B to go to the bottom of 7 tied at 4. With runners on 1st and 2nd base with 2 outs, Seager drives a double into the gap in RC to score the winner (just a note 2 probably score on the hit.) Great effort on both sides, well done!!!

The PA annoucer at NWC kept updating this score as 2-0 Mount Pleasant leading, but in the parking lot, I heard 1-1 tie in the start of the 7th? Hey tj21 put down that hotdog and give us a score!

 

Hunt - 1
Fike - 0

Great game and the game-winning RBI was driven in by a sophomore!!!
