Legion Scores

Mooresville 8
Lexington 6 (13 innings)

WP - Hancock
LP - Kinney (?)

Mooresville jumped out to a 6-0 lead but Lexington tied the game late and appeared to have Mooresville on the ropes several times but could not deliver the knock out punch. Clutch performances by Stephen Hancock and Matt Marshall in the field as well as key hits by Caleb Diggs and Marshall in the 13th allowed the Moors to wriggle off the hook and come away with the win.

Tyler Lackey homered again, this one cleared the trees in center field.

whew......I'm beat.

 

from Sunday Night

Greensboro Post 53--- 6
Kernersville Post 36 ---3

Greensboro is now 10-1 6-1 in conference.

I wish I had a schedule to see when and where the remaining games are. I want to see them take on that unbeaten Burlington team.

 

Raleigh Post 1 @ Cary Post 67, 9 inning conference game


Cary - 7
Raleigh - 0

WP - Jere Morton (Complete game, 3 hits, 0 walks, 8k's)

HR - Cary, Nate Sides

Cary is 14-3 overall and 2-1 in the Conference.
Tuesday 6/22 @ Orange
Thursday 6/24 @ North Raleigh (Conference)
Saturday 6/26 @ Apex (Conference)

 

Rowan County protested a recent 10-9 loss to South Rowan and the Area 3 commissioner has apparently upheld their protest allowing Rowan to have another run, which makes the score tied 10-10. I wasn't at the game and I don't have all the details, so maybe I shouldn't comment. But based on what I was told, this ruling involves an apparent forceout in the final inning and whether or not this controversial run should count. The game will now be continued at a later date with a tie (10-10) score.

In situations like this, you just want the correct ruling to be made.

 

Cary (Post 67) and Orange (Schley Post 452) agreed to play a 7 inning game rather than 9 due to it being non-conference right in the middle of conference play.

Cary shortened it to a 5 inning game winning by the mercy rule

Cary - 14
Schley - 4

WP - Joe Cutler, 5 innings, 5 hits, 4 runs

HRs - Orange had back to back bombs but I forget the names.

Cary improves to 15-3.

 

Ragsdale ( I mean Greensboro ) Post 53 -- 5
Eastern Randolph Post 81 --------------- 4

WP Chad Baker
LP Joe Bob Smith

Trevor Mullins was the offensive catalyst starting off the scoring in the 4th with a solo homer and adding an RBI single in the sixth. He also pithced three innings of relief for the save.

Greensboro is now 11-1 overall and 8-1 in the division, avenging their only loss of the season. Eastern Randolph is now 4-3 in the division. Always a good game when these two hook up.

Ragsdale has two games in three days next week against first place and undefeated Burlington.

 

Kannapolis 2
Lexington 1

WP:Ketner
Save:Sherrill

Kannapolis is 8-2 in league play;currently in 1st place.

 

Caldwell County 10, Asheville 4

at historic McCormick Field

Caldwell 2 2 0 2 3 0 0 0 1 -- 10 11 0
Asheville 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 3 0 -- 4 6 6

That's right, six Asheville errors essentially gave this game to Caldwell on a night when both teams played flat. Even the home announcer got so bored he forgot his own team, confusing Scott Burwell with Scott Russell and announcing Russell as "Scott Burwell-Russell." And in the top of the ninth inning, Asheville got the second out and came running off the field into the huddle. I mean, the whole team forgot the out count! Asheville Coach J.D. Hinson joked to the umpire about "calling a timeout" and carried on with the huddle as the next Caldwell batter was heading to the plate with no one to pitch to him. It was one for Strange But True Baseball Stories. And one of the funniest things I've seen on a baseball field.

 

Who cares about the West?


Just playin... Someone report some East scores.

Cary 15-3, 2-1 conf.

 

That's about the truth. Trying to find schedules, scores or anything for teams west of Taylorsville (which has so graciously posted the schedule in these parts) is a bit hairy.
