Day two, game two coming up soon
10:30 a.m. Fat, white clouds fill the sky and the experts forecast rain and isolated thunderstorms, but don’t bother telling that to the hundreds of Rocky Mount High fans who already starting pour into Five County Stadium in Zebulon.
The Gryphons are a little more than a half hour away from game two of the NCHSAA 3-A state championship series against the East Rowan Mustangs — and one win away from the fifth baseball state crown in school history. The Gryphons will be the home team this morning, and Chris Berry will be on the mound for the team.
The Gryphons (26-5) are on the field, stretching and warming up. The Mustangs (28-4), dressed even better today than they were Friday — their road uniforms are cream with red-and-navy blue piping, with high red socks with horizontal navy blue stripes and six-panel red, white and blue caps — are sitting around their dugout. Classic rock is blasting out of the p.a. speakers. The stadium is starting to fill up.
Game two is on the way.
