Really, an exciting game. Alot of twists & turns & excitement. Thomas Berry wins it with a blast over the right-centerfield wall in the top of the 10th. Alot of good area players in this game from Wilson, Nash, & Edgecombe counties.

 

Wilson 11 North Raleigh 4

Wilson Post 13 coasted to a 11-4 win tonight over North Raleigh Post 297 in Fleming Stadium. Ches Lamm picked up the win with 6 strong innings, while Avery Harper finished up the final 3. Cody Britt had 3 hits, Travis Lucas, Kyle Pittman, Zack Lee & Mitchell Wheeler, 2 hits apiece, & Seth Wiggs a 4th inning bomb over the left field wall, to pace the offense. Forrest Brandt had 3 hits to lead Post 297. Post 13 is back in action Thursday night vs. Pitt County Post 39 @ Pitt Community College (7:30 PM)

 

Was an exciting game by two good teams. Might have been some questionable balls/strikes called in the 9th but give credit to the RM kid for fouling off what seemed like a dozen pitches. One thing I have noticed in watching about 10 Legion games thus far, the strike zone seems to be much tighter than in high-school. If this is the norm, might take some getting use to by players, coaches, and fans. Personally I like the tight zone, let's hit the ball and score runs!!!!!

Jeremy Sloop (Nash Central-2011) did a good job for Nash County. Pitched 7 strong innings, didn't throw alot of pitches, & let his defense do the job. Nash turned 5 double plays to stop potential rallys. After a walk, & 2 hit batsmen in the first, Matthew Berry stroked a bomb to put Nash up 4-0 early, & Wilson couldn't put much together offensively to stage a comeback.
