WNC High School Scores

Hudson

I told you she could hit as well as pitch

 

North Buncombe/ East Henderson

NB 3 / EH 0

Very tough game. Stepp pitched a great game. 1-0 thru 4 innings before NB scored 2 on singles by Davis, Edmonds, Manns and Boone. Boone also had the first inning RBI. Manns had a perfect game after 6. Stepp got a bunt single in the 7th. So close to the no-no but give Stepp credit. With the 3rd baseman playing up she still put down the perfect bunt riding the 3rd base line. The East Henderson shortstop is a vacuum with a cannon.

Congrats to Owen and Burnett. She and they are mowing them down. Should be some interesting match ups down the road.

Pisgah/ NB tomorrow. Houston will be pitching for NB.

 

WHen 3, Pisgah 2

Great game today as West Henderson downed Pisgah, 3-2. Errors did Pisgah in as senior Megan Cooke had a strong outing, tossing a three-hitter. But it was another bigtime performance by West's Shannon Harris, a junior, that won the day. That gives her exeptional back-to-back pitching performances, going nine innings at Owen Friday and eight today at home against Pisgah. Check out these combined numbers:

W-L: 1-1
IP: 17
Hits: 5
SO: 29
BB: 2
Runs: 3
Earned Runs: 1

The difference for Harris versus last season? Excellent control, first-pitch strikes, keeping her pitches down in the zone and bearing down when the pressure's on. Truly impressive.

 

North Buncombe/ Pisgah

NB 6 / Pisgah 5
An unusual game. NB played strong in the first half and then Pisgah fought back late coming up just one hit short.
Amy Allen started for Pisgah and Angela Houston for NB. NB came out hitting in the first inning and posted a 2 run lead. Pisgah came back with 1 run and then the Pisgah bats went silent for 3 innings while NB increased the lead to 6-1. Holt came in to pitch for Pisgah in the 5th. The Pisgah bats also exploded for 4 runs in the 5th including 2 triples and a double. Manns came in with 2 outs and a runner on third and closed out the inning. Both pitchers shut the offense down after that. The hits were scattered through out the line up for NB.

Pisgah and Owen on Friday! Should be a great game. Wish I could see it. Asheville is at NB on Friday.

 

Pisgah-North Buncombe

That was Haven Payne that finished for Pisgah..She and Allie came in and shut the door..Good game, fun to watch and fun to be in the stands with parents from both schools,great people good sports..I would like to see these two teams play when they both HAD to win. Both have big games in conference in the same week.. they are top teams ,both with a good shot at Raleigh in June..PISGAH-OWEN for the conference lead friday at Pisgah, a must see

 

pisgah/owen

.........sounds like a battle and its in the mountain air! Hope to see if it is, as it appears........................

 

North Buncombe 4 / Asheville 1

Yes a much closer game than expected and actually closer than the score. Brittany Allen made a diving catch in centerfield for the last out of the game to save at least 2 runs from scoring. NB had 12 hits but couldn't string a bunch of hits together. The Asheville catcher, (Danielle?) helped to slow down several rallies, picked a runner off of 1st and throwing out a runner trying to steal 3rd. Two perfect throws. She also just missed catching a runner stealing second. I was most impressed with the improvement in the Asheville pitcher. Last year she walked 1 or 2 an inning and today she may have walked 1 or 2 total. Asheville is a free swinging much improved team.

Congrats to Owen on their big win over Pisgah. That Owen machine is rolling. A bad week for Pisgah but the winners from this week better watch out in the second half.

 

Thanks hawk for the update and what year is the asheville catcher, Danielle?

 

Danielle is a junior at Asheville High. She also plays for the 16 & Under Blue Ridge Explosion team with many other top notch players from our area high schools. By the way if anyone is interested in trying out for the Blue Ridge 16 & Under team, please respond. Thanks......

 

Davis at North Buncombe

Thanks for the info cosmo Hawk......The Davis kid I, think her name is Kelly is going to be a great player for North Buncombe...I have seen her play in the Hawks big games this year..Great speed ,sound defense, and very aggresive at bat, the Davis kid over at Owen graduates this year,,so there will be at least one davis to play and this one may well be better
