Let's hope Miles Jamieson's arm is OK. He looked really good.

Grandparents of Ethan Davis sat behind us. He’s a sophomore pitcher from Nicholasville, KY. They drove down today and will be here for the weekend. Nice folks. I hope they get to see him pitch.

Tim came over for the game. He particularly like the hamburger.

I saw Dick Cooke at the game, so he could have joined Sam if asked/allowed. I really enjoyed when I heard them together. I even charged up my earbuds in case I wound up going alone.

Sam says freshman Cooper Cavanaugh will start tomorrow's game. Cobb might want to step in here and tell us about this guy. He's supposed to be a potential ace.

Well, Topsail HS has a good consistent baseball program (although my alma mater JH Rose still rules the East ) so I'm sure he is coached up. The one service I looked at had Cooper listed as the 12th best high school player in NC and the 35th best LHP in the nation. He is listed as 6'4", 185 pounds.

He's still going to fill-out a bit. Last summer his fastball topped out at 91.

BTW, Topsail's field is very nice.

Nice start. He struck out the first 4 batters he faced.

Tied at zero, bottom 2.

I'm sorry. I got that wrong. He struck out 4 of the first 6.

Bases loaded, no outs. Double play that didn't look like one. 0-1, 2 out.

Our solo broadcaster is an upgrade. Who is that? Dick is in the booth. You can occasionally hear him over the broadcaster's mic.

I thought our runner looked safe on the replay.

He was. Dick Cooke thought so, too.

0-1, top 4.

Defense and pitching are doing work. Offense is getting on, getting over, not getting in. Still up 0-1. Cavanaugh throws 75 pitches, leaves with 2 out in the 5th.

Shaggy singles Calero home with 2 out. 0-2, bottom 5.

He struck out 9 in almost 5 innings.

Wilhoit walks, Reeves singles. 0-3
