Great win against a quality opponent. I had heard the starting pitcher for SWF is a 16 yo reaching 94...amazing

 

Great Win

Nice day on the hill C-Rob and as always great defense Panthers.
Thanks Hotbox for keeping us updated. I see the Tyler Miller's and Tyler Tewell's bats are still smoking along with the big man Shuey.
Good luck tomorrow and the rest of the week. Again thanks for the updates.

 

Always great to see the NC kids succeed in the national spotlight.

SCP (13-3-2)

 

Outstanding job, Coach! Good luck the rest of the series and keep us informed. BTW, if you run out of pitchers, suit up that new lefty you have. It's a brand new arm with many pitches in it.

I'm sorry to hear about Alex Wood...tough break. The kid was having an outstanding summer. I'll be glad when he gets back in the lineup.

 

I believe SC Panthers match up tomorrow morning against one of the other NC teams, the Carolina Blue Jays. The Blue Jays have the same record 3-1 going into this game. The third NC team, the North Wake Mustangs have not faired as well. Their record is 1-3 going into tomorrows game.

 

Too bad 2 of the 3 NC teams have to face each other, but the good news is I think both make the final 36 championsip round one at 4-1 and the other at 3-2. Good luck!
