Kannapolis Intimidator Classic

A classic! NW Cabarrus scores 5 runs in 7th with bases empty and two outs............

Final from the Intimidator Classic:
NW Cabarrus 7 Central Cabarrus 6 (8 innings)

In the bottom of the 7th, with two outs, two strikes, bases empty, and a 6 -1 lead, Central Cabarrus starting pitcher Zack Parmer was working on what should have been a no-hitter (Jake Faggart hit a double that got lost in the fog in the 6th) when:
Connor Bean ripped a single up the middle.
Then, Jake Faggart made it safely to first on a throwing error.
Bret Honeycutt walked to load the bases.
Kyle Seager rips a 3 RBI double, SCORE: 6 - 4
Jerrod Faggart hits a single
Blake Ketner rips a 2 RBI double to tie the game, 6-6

In the home half of the eighth, Kyle Seager completes the amazing comeback with a 2-out bases loaded double to win the game and complete the Trojans' amazing comeback.

Joe Kent scattered 3 hits over the last 3 innings to pick up the win and was helped by Jake Faggart who made a terrific centerfield catch and threw an absolute strike to second base to complete a double play and end an 8th inning Central Cabarrus scoring threat.

WP- Hendel (3-0)

Matchup tonight between #9 (4A) Providence & #7 (3A) NW Cabarrus ought to be a good one!! NW Cabarrus doesn't let the Fat Lady Sing!!

 

Providence has really been on a roll lately..... They are playing great baseball.

 

gbacks, Did Hendel go the distance? What were his numbers? You guys are red hot. Good luck tonight.

 

Prov/Mt. Pleasent

Hendel went 5 innings and allowed 1 run.

 

NWC vs. PHS

This should be a good championship game. Has Providence played South Meck, Independence or North Meck?

The only Mecklenburg County team NWC has played is East Meck (a 3-0 shut out win)

 

Providence

Beat Independence and East Meck. Lost to North Meck.

 

Kannapolis 11
Weddington 9

This one was interesting, at least. The Wonders kicked it around a bit, while Weddington walked, seriously, I lost count at 12 Wonders. Might have been as many as 17. The Wonders only had 4 hits, so we were glad to accept the free passes. Brian Little was the winner, in relief of Ryan Query, who pitched better than his stat line will probably show.

 

Anyone have the Central score?
