Clayton 9, Wilson 3

Wilson drops its season opener Monday in Smithfield. First season-opening loss since 2006 and first ever vs. Clayton. Post 13's home opener is Friday vs. Raleigh Post 1.

 

Raleigh Post 1

I have a rooting interest as my son is playing for Post 1 this summer. Of course, I'll be recruiting as well...so let me know of any unsigned seniors on any of these legion teams.

 

Raleigh Post 1 @ Wilson Post 13

Raleigh Post I ... 3
Wilson Post 13 ... 2

 

Raleigh 3, Wilson 2

Congrats to Raleigh. The numbers just didn't add up – 13 LOB, inability to take advantage of 10 walks...Post 13's four 9th-inning errors were a fitting conclusion after an AWOL offense failed to support some strong pitching.

 

Raleigh Post 1 @ Wilson Post 13

My son was responsible for 6 of those walks...a lot of rust on lefty as he had not pitched in a real game since the Babe Ruth Southeast Regional last summer. Dad was proud as Nate pitched into and out of trouble. A leadoff triple in the bottom of the 4th followed by a single through the middle (Nate darned near snagged it) plated Wilson's only run against him.

For Post 1: (unofficial)

Nate Smith - 4 IP, 1 run, 1 earned run, 3 k's, 5 BB, 1 HB, 82 pitches.
Will Newell - 3 IP, 1 Run, 1 earned run, 1 K
Matt Jurek(WP) - 2 IP, 0 runs, 2 k's

Bentley Massey, starting pitcher from Wilson pitched an outstanding game - only allowing 1 unearned run in 4 innings of work. This was the 1st time I had seen the young man pitch - outstanding. In fact, all of Wilson's pitchers are very good.

Garner vs. Edenton

After falling behind 4-0, Post 232 rallied to tie the game at five on a two run single by Pat Monahan.

But in the top of the ninth, Post 40 put a four spot on the board as Garner lost 9-5.

The loss drops Garner to 3-2 on the season. They host Asheboro tonight at 8:00 in the Area 1/Area 3 Challenge.

There are three games at Garner today and tomorrow with 3 Area 1 Teams (Garner, Cary, Durham) aganist 3 Area 3 Teams (Edenton, Asheboro, and Burlington). Game times on Saturday are 1, 4:30 and 8. And Sunday at 12, 3:30 and 7.

 

Area I vs Area III Challenge

Friday May 29 - Cary Post 67 beats Asheboro Post 45 (13-11)
Cary was ahead the whole game, at one point 12-5 (I believe), Asheboro fought back, helped out by alot of walks from Cary pitchers. Game ended with base loaded for Asheboro and 2 outs, Cary catcher Drew Woodall picked off the base runner on 2nd (nice spinning tag by SS Eric Brady).

Saturday May 30 - Cary Post 67 beats Burlington Post 63 (11-6)
Again Cary led most of the way. Burlington had a couple of HRs, Cary had one by Brian Rhino.

 

24 runs for Post 67 in two days. Who did all the hittin?
