Person defeats Millbrook and East Wake to win Bobby Murray Tournament

WOW! What a day! We played well and played hard. We were very fortunate also.

12:00 Game
Person 7, Millbrook 4

Millbrook is a very good team, they are 4-0 in their conference, according to their coach prior to the game. They play hard and battled through the whole game. Stephen Wright (SR) pitched well and kept them off balance and the Person defense played well also.

CHAMPIONSHIP GAME - Person 2, East Wake 1

This one was a pitchers duel between Jonathan Aparicio (FR/RHP) and Christian Dickens (SR). Apraricio has alot of upside with a loose arm action and was throwing (I estimate) in the mid 80's. He will will develop into a good one, with time and more experience. Christian Dickens made his first start of the season and pitched 5 strong innings before giving way to younger brother Dylan (SOPH). For the tournament, the Rocket pitching staff was efficient, throwing about 240 pitches in 3 games (20 IP). The Person defense played well with 0 errors in the game.

An Excellent day for the Rockets winning a well run tournament played at the USA Complex in Cary, which was in immaculate condition. Thanks to the Bobby Murray family for hosting the tournament and Gary Harris for being a gracious host!
