Gryphons strike first, Mustangs strike back

By Matt LaWell | Saturday, May 31, 2008, 05:20 PM

5:20 p.m. Rocky Mount scored first Saturday afternoon in game three of the NCHSAA 3-A state championship, but East Rowan wasted little time in responding.

The Gryphons scored two runs in the top of the first inning after William Barringer and Brian Goodwin both walked, and Chris Berry and Jim Leggett each knocked singles just inside third base and down the right-field line.

The Mustangs scored one run in the bottom of the innning after Justin Roland tripled to right to lead off the inning and sprinted home a couple pitches later thanks to a wild pitch by Rocky Mount starter Benton Moss.

An inning in, and we might be in for a wild one. Gryphons lead, 2-1.
