High Point wins another series against Gastonia over the weekend. This is the last time we play gastonia for the season!
Game 1
Rockers 13 - Gastonia 7
Game 2
Rockers 4 - Gastonia 9
Game 3
Rockers 8 - Gastonia 6
Some interesting highlights of the series. In game 2 at the bottom on the 3rd starting pitcher Tommy Lawrence is ejected from the game after cussing out the umpires do to a bad call. The umpires called what was originally a triple to become a home run due to going over the yellow line. Tommy wasn't happy about this and pretty much ejected himself out of the game. Joey Hennessey ended up taking his spot and batted the next inning. This is the first time i've seen Joey bat and while he managed to hit the ball he hit the ball directly to the pitcher and hit him on the hip. No major injury but he later tells me the pitcher showed him where the ball hit him. Being a true sport they both laughed about it.
On game 3 Stephen Cardullo makes a grand slam! This is the 3rd one he has made in his time with the rockers. This grand slam helped get the rockers in a major lead and end up winning the game.
The rockers are now 25 and 17 while being tied with West Viriginia for 1st place in the standings. The rockers play lancaster on tuesday for 3 games and if they win them all along with west virginia doing the same then a tiebreaker will be on Friday. We will know for sure in the next couple of days if that happens. This is officially the last 2 weeks at home and then 6 games away and the season is over! Hard to believe the season is getting to a close! Lets hope the rockers can make it in the playoff and win it this year! They made it to the playoffs in 2019 and ended up losing but i have faith in our boys. We shall see what happens in the next 3 weeks!
