Wow...Andy's doing a great job!

 

Andy

Yes he is.. He is a good leader and the boys seem to respect him. He seems to be having a good time too! There are only 2 seniors on the team. That makes next year seem even more exciting! He has good players sitting... The boys have worked hard through the years and I guess about 6 or 7 of them played for me on my Angels and Mariners teams so you know they paid the price!! hahahaha I am so proud of them I can't stand it.

South Granville at Southern Alamance

Fantastic game between the Mid-State 3A rivals. South Granville won 3-1 in 11 innings.

Pratt Maynard went 9 innings for SG. (11 K, 4 BB, 5 H, 1 ER). He left in a 1-1 tie. Jason Groce went 10 innings for SA. (9 K, 3 BB, 4 H, 1 ER).

Maynard homered in the 7th to send it to extra innings.

Josh Darroch came on for the Vikings to record the win. He's now 5-1.

Murphy took the loss when he surrendered two runs on two hits in the 11th. RBI singles from Clarence Peace and Amos Tilley after Maynard and Jeff May walked to begin the inning provided the final margin. A heads up baserunning job by May to score from 2nd on a slow roller and throw to 1B gave SG the lead.

Rankin had three hits for the Patriots.

Great night at the ballpark

On a rare off day from umpiring and with the sun finally out this week I decided to head down Hwy 301 to see a much talked about rematch between Wilson Fike (9-3) and CB Aycock (12-4).

I knew I would get to see some outstanding players such as the smooth switch hitting shortstop Connor Narron, power hitter and defensive stud Jacob Davis, excellent catchers in Zack Wright and Zac Crumpler, speedy centerfielder Will Edgerton and the good looking righty Bentley Massey. I also got to spend some time with good friends Ed Spence and Jerry Narron talking the talk.

A nice surprise was the two sophomore starting pitchers lefty Eric Debose for CBA and righty William Prince for WF. Both pitched good games with Prince clocked at 83-85 and Debose at 73-75. CBA got 1 more run than WF and Debose went the distance in the 3-2 win.

NOTES:

Narron is going to be a special one. Great body with speed and the mannerisms of a pro player. Laced a good pitch opposite field in his second at bat.
Davis went yard with his 4th home run of the season and made a fine diving catch to end a scoring threat.
Massey tossed two perfect innings striking out 4 including Narron who has only struck out a few times this year.
Crumpler hit the bomb of the night which went 399' and was caught at the fence by Edgerton....it would have tied the game and maybe we would still be playing ball.
Wright did a great job framing pitches for strikes.
Baseball Britt was there covering the game for Impact so catch his version of the game later this week at Impactbaseball.com

 

Reese's Peaces, Famous Amos Cookies & The M&M boys

Two of my favorite players and two of my favorite names strike again for the Vikings. Way to go guys.

 

South granville at Southern alamance

Great game! Shame anyone had to lose. Jason Groce pitched great all 10 inn for SA and Pratt Maynard was good as advertised for SG, He also pitched great and came up clutch in the 7, should be a great rematch at SG
