Week #11

The last week of the regular season boys and girls. Post em here and let us know about your playoff implications when you do.

 

Piedmont

Piedmonts regular season is complete. Finished 17-7, 9-3 conference. With a first round bye they don't play again until Wednesday. They overcame a lot of adversity to win the conference. Congratulations to them.

 

CVAC Tournament-Bunker Hill/Hickory

Bunker Hill- 0
Hickory- 10 (6 inn.)

Hickory jumped out to a 6-0 lead after the first after getting 7 hits and Bunker Hill committing 3 errors in the inning. Greg Baker hit a homerun in the first and ended up going 2-3. Ben Gibbs was solid on the mound picking up a win in his first outing in a couple weeks. Tornadoes with two hits were Derek Boliek, Clay Smith, Baker, Tyler Propst, and Ben Gibbs. Chase Patterson had 2 hits for the Bears who ended up with 3 hits on the night. Ben Benfield was the losing pitcher for the Bears.

Hickory will play tomorrow night at 7 at Bunker Hill against the winner of the Bandys/West Caldwell game.

 

Glad to hear that Gibbs is OK. I was told that he was injured. If Hickory picks up a wild card berth, they will be a tough draw. They are really swinging hot sticks.

 

West Stokes 10
Eastern Guilford 1

Thomas Newsome picked up his 10th win of the year improving to 10-0. West Stokes is now 20-1 overall and 12-1 in conference with two games remaining.

Wow...what a game!

 

Lumberton 2 Purnell Swett 1 (8 inn)

First round of the Two Rivers tourney was a nailbiter. Neither team could break through into the eighth when just called up frosh Garret Mayers drove a ball deep over the right fielders head to lead off and later scored on a sac fly by soph Seth Wagner. Mac Read went the distance scattering six hits and striking out 12. Lumberton advances to play Cape Fear tonight with Tre Britt on the mound. If they can get by that game, it will probably be Johnny Wholestaff in the finals.
