4th Round Playoff Scores

North Lenoir 16
Whiteville 4

North Lenoir hit three HR's in the first inning and a total of five HR's in the game for a total of 13 runs. All of these HRs would have been routine flyouts at a normally baseball field. But in any rate, NL knows how to hit and play at their field. All balls that were knocked across the fence were fastballs up in the zone.....NL threw very few fastballs...they threw nothing but breaking balls, low in the zone. Hopefully, on Saturday when we force game three we will throw smarter!

Good Job ER. Keep battling. Go win that State 2A Championship. Would be nice for the 2A & 4A to be at the same place this year. Would love to watch yous guys play along with SC in the 4A (providing both teams make it).

Fastballs up in the zone against a quality opponent usually do go over the fence regardless of how short it is.
