Knights bash Falcons for first conference win
The Greenfield School baseball team didn’t need long to dwell on a 7-2 loss to Wayne Christian to open NCISAA 2-A/3-A Coastal Plain Independents Conference play on Tuesday.

The Knights put those woes aside with a mammoth offensive outing on Thursday, sending visiting CPIC foe Epiphany home with a 19-1 loss.

The Knights, who improved to 3-1 on the year and kept the Falcons winless at 0-5, roared out of the gate in this one, scoring their 19 runs across the first two innings, with eight in the first and 11 in the second.

Quintin Blake set the tone for the Knights with a two-run homer in the top of the first inning, while Gavin Price went 2 for 2 with a pair of doubles, Jack Adair doubled and Hunter Batchelor also grabbed a hit.

The Falcons’ lone run came in the top of the fourth inning, as the Knights’ Zach McKenzie tossed four innings, allowing just one run on two hits while striking out two and walking two.

“We did a good job of coming out aggressive in the first two innings at the plate,” emailed Greenfield head coach Daniel Johnson. “Quintin’s homer gave us a jolt, Zach threw a lot of strikes and the defense made the plays. It was good for a lot of guys to get some time in before a three-game week next week.”
The Knights will kick off that three-game week with a visit from Richlands on Monday, before visiting Epiphany Tuesday and hosting Arendell Parrott Academy on Thursday.

Chargers drop heartbreaker to Raiders
Despite loading the bases in the bottom of the seventh inning against visiting Pungo Christian on Thursday, the Wilson Christian baseball team came up just short, falling 8-7 to the Raiders.

The Chargers, who dropped to 3-2 on the young season, had the bases loaded with one out in the bottom of the seventh against the Raiders (3-2), when Brant Hughes came to the plate.
WCA asked Hughes to go for a sacrifice fly, and he obliged, skying a ball into left field that appeared it would tie the game. However, a base-running snafu costed the Chargers the game, as the runner on second failed to tag up, allowing the Raiders to win it with a double play.

“It’s a learning experience,” said Wilson Christian head coach Ty Bissett. “I have a lot of seventh, eighth and ninth graders on this varsity team. That’s a good learning experience, like I told the guys. It could have been worse. It could have been a conference game. But you still hate to lose a game like that. We’ll get over it and grow from it.”

The Raiders took a 2-0 lead through the first inning before the Chargers took a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the second. Pungo found itself with a 7-3 lead through the top of the fifth before the Chargers battled back and plated three to tie it. The Raiders, however, took the lead for good in the top of the sixth.
Taylor Zach, Austin Coughlin, Maddox Deans and Cam Efird tallied two hits apiece for Wilson Christian.
The Raiders scored two unearned runs against the Chargers’ pitchers, as fielding errors continue to haunt a young team.

“They were a good team,” Bissett said. “They were very good defensively. They made two big plays in the bottom of the sixth to hold us. We’ve scored a bunch of runs in our last couple of games and played some weaker teams. I’m not knocking them, but that team (Pungo) played some better defense and hit the ball hard when they hit it. We just weren’t fundamentally ready on a couple plays.”

The Chargers will visit NCCSA 2-A East Region foe Greenville Christian on Friday before taking on Nash Central in the Wilson Tobs High School Varsity Classic at Fleming Stadium on Saturday.
“As team goes on, we’ll get better,” Bissett said.

Chargers bounce back to drub Knights

GREENVILLE — A night after losing to Pungo Christian in heartbreaking fashion, the Wilson Christian baseball team bounced back in commanding fashion, throttling NCCSA 2-A East Region foe Greenville Christian, 12-0 in five innings.
The Chargers (4-2, 2-0 East Region) took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning before plating three more in the top of the third, another run in the top of the fourth and adding seven more in the top of the fifth for the run-rule victory over the Knights (2-2, 1-2 East Region). WCA eventually wore down Greenville Christian pitcher Ethan Parker.
“To lose a game like we did last night and then come back and get the win, that game was a lot closer tonight in the first couple innings,” said Wilson Christian head coach Ty Bissett. “We put some hits together and got a couple runs. To bounce back like that, we like what we saw with our bats.”
Parker Bunn grabbed the win on the mound for the Chargers, striking out nine and walking two in 3 2/3 two-hit, shutout innings.
Mack Wiggins led the Chargers with a 3-for-4 game at the plate, driving in one run and scoring three. Stone Massey went 2 for 4 with a pair of RBIs, and Bunn was 2 for 3 with an RBI and run.
Bissett noted the Chargers are still missing senior Seth Quinn, who will return next week, and turning to several younger contributors.
“I’m very excited with what I saw,” he said.
The Chargers will look to keep their momentum going when they take on Nash Central in the Wilson Tobs High School Varsity Classic on Saturday morning, before visiting North Raleigh Christian on Tuesday.
