Hamlet Post 49 3, Hampstead Post 167 2
Kyle Lechmanick (Topsail) hit a two-out, two-run single in the top of the fourth inning for Hampstead’s only runs.
Lechmanick was also the hard-luck losing pitcher despite allowing only one run on two hits in fourth innings. He also struck out five batters.
Mason Myhand (Wilmington Christian Academy) struck out three batters in a pair of scoreless innings.
Kyle Donaldson (Trask) and Jared Giddens (Topsail/Lenoir CC) worked back-to-back walks with two outs in the fourth innings. They both moved up 90 feet on a wild pitch and scored on Lechmanick’s base hit.
Hampstead (3-4) stranded the tying run on second base in the seventh inning and was retired in order in the seventh.
Kolby Lanier (Trask/Lenoir CC), Landon Lankford (Topsail) and Luke Cutler (Southeastern Homeschool) each collected a hit.
