Follow up: Perfection
After beating South Central 17-0 I didn't see East Wake's summer league team having a very hard time at Enloe, but the Eagle pride hung in there and only took a one-run smack on the cheek, 3-2.
Warrior coach Kerry Kincaid said it was one of the poorer showings at bat from his team all year.
The win took the Warriors to 14-0, one game from a perfect season.
Monday's game at Wake Forest-Rolesville proved what East Wake has worked hard to prove. Perfection came in an 8-2 season closer, along with a grand slam from Taylor Griswold – icing the cake, of course.
The team averaged less than one error per game over the course of the season, and many batters averaged over .500 at the plate. Nate Lusk, for example, averaged a .620. These numbers look like slugging percentages, but don't be fooled. Get out and go to a playoff game and see what all the fuss is about.
East Wake scored a bye from round one play, but plays tomorrow (Thursday) night at Apex at 8 p.m. The team escaped the regular season 15-0, and will be looking to add more to the left side of the column.
