Peninsula 8, Edenton 6: The Pilots rallied from behind to defeat the Steamers July 18 at His toric Hicks Field.

Dane Simon drove in a run in the seventh to give the Steamers an insurance run. Nick Torres and Kross Robinson combined to keep the Pilots off the board in the 7th and Sth in ning.

Sy Snedeker then lined an opposite field double to bring the Pilots within one. With two outs, Peninsula had the tying run at third and Drew Ashley up at the dish. The first pitch got past Adams and Snedeker came on in to tie the ball game. Leading off the bottom of the ninth, Rob Weis- sheier filed a ball out to right field that went in and out of the glove of Ashley. Wessisheier was husting all the way and ended up at third base.

Christ mas in July Fundraiser, with proceeds going to The Albemarle Commission on Aging, is set for Wednes day, July 31. The Monday, July 22, game against Wilson at Hicks Field was the Strike Out Hunger fundraiser, benefiting the Edenton- Chowan Food Pantry, and the Bark at the Park Fundraiser for the Tri County Animal Shelter. Off the field, the Steam ers lend a helping hand to cancer patients at Vidant Chowan Hospital during chemotherapy treatments. They also are bringing smiles to the faces of senior residents at Water- brooke Assisted Living in Elizabeth City, volunteer ing at The Fanners Market every other Saturday, or feeding hundreds of hun gry and dependent resi dents at Edenton-Chowan Food Pantry. “This is our third year of doing the food drive,” said Tyler Russell, Edenton Steamers general manager, in an interview July 18. “We started out by volunteering our players time at the food pantry, and Roger Coleman was still the di rector at that time. He and I had built a good relation ship where we started do ing things with them.” This is the first time that the team has done multiple food drives in one season. Bark in the Park is a new fundraiser to Hicks Field. “It’s an idea that we’ve gotten it from a lot of other teams, some from professional baseball and some from freshman baseball. And a lot of them have done Bark in the Park nights,” Russell said, adding that it made sense that Bark in the Park night should benefit the Tri-County Animal Shelter. “They not only do a lot for the animals in Chowan County, but in Perquimans and Gates counties, so it made sense to do something for them at the same time as well.” The first run of the fundraiser this season went very well. “People enjoyed bring ing their dogs to the ball park”, said Russell. Since, he jokingly said, some peo ple liken their dogs to chil dren, the Bark in the Park event was even more suc cessful. One of the charities the Steamers work with is veiy dear to Russell’s heart. “I’ve been involved with Strike Out ALS for a very long time, longer than the Steamers have. I’ve played in softball games that have benefited that charity,” he confirmed. “And then when I came on with the team, I wanted to start do ing fundraisers for ALS again. The Steamers have been doing fundraisers for ALS in the past; about 10 or 12 years ago, the Steam ers did a golf tournament for ALS. Other fundraisers for ALS include the Jersey Fundraiser, where fans can purchase or come wearing their favorite jer seys. “This is the seventh year of doing the Jersey Fundraiser. Players eqjoy it too, because they get a chance to wear something unusual to them, a differ ent jersey. They also like the opportunity for people to come out to the field af ter the game and come meet them. People who purchased these jerseys get to meet the players, take it right off their backs, and the players will sign it for them, sign some other autographs, talk to the fans, that sort of thing.” The event benefits ALS and gives a good time to the players and fans alike. Next season, the Steamers would like to partner up with The Boys and Girls Club of the Albe marle. “We did something with them a couple of years ago, but we haven’t been able to stay on the same page with diem due to scheduling issues.” Once BGC moves to their new location, the old D.F. Walker building, Rus sell would like to establish a more permanent rela tionship with them. Cur rently, BGC plans to move into the building in sum mer or fall 2020, after reno vations are complete. The Steamers never im posed a set goal on their charity events, knowing that the act of giving is its own reward. “We just do the best we can,” Russell said. FRIEDMAN Continued from Bl taking his talents to Bos ton. They clearly value him, they can surround him with more talent and they have a reputation as one of the best run fran chises in the league. Let’s be honest, I’m not sure any of these are true in Char lotte. Certainly the fans loved Kemba, and I’m sure he could tell, but value for a professional athlete is measured in dollars and not sense. Having said all that, I’m pretty confident that the same folks roasting Kupchak and the Hornets for letting Walker get away would have been criticizing them for re signing him. Keeping Kemba for the max would have shown upcoming free agents that Charlotte values their best players, but the reputation gained is worthless if the fran chise doesn’t have cap space because they in vested their future in a 6- foot 1-inch guard whose best years are behind him. While I agree with every one that the Hornets overpaid for Terry Rozier, another 6-foot 1-inch guard who isn’t nearly as effec tive a scorer as his prede cessor, at least his deal doesn’t prevent Kupchak from pursuing free agents next offseason. The other benefit to Kemba’s absence is the freedom it will provide young players such as Miles Bridges, Dwayne Bacon and rookie PJ Washington. While Char lotte won’t be picked to win many games, they will still be expected to play 82 of them, and these young players will be af forded the opportunity to show the coaches, league and fans what they are ca pable of. We’ll know by season’s end who is worth keep ing, who should be sent packing and who, if anyone, is capable of stepping up and becom ing a centerpiece of this franchise. Couple that with what I expect will be a high draft pick and cap room to sign a free agent or two and the Hornets may have found a path out of mediocrity.

Pippins was apprecia tive of the support and crowds that followed the Edenton All-Stars during the tournament. “We want to thank all of the people that came out and supported us,” Pippins said. Two other champi onships were decided Sun day. In the under 12 tourna ment final, the Shelby All- Stars defeated the Wilkes County All-Stars 8-4 in the final at Currituck Commu nity Park. The Shelby All-Stars fin ished the state champi onship tournament with a 4-0 record. In the under 8 tourna ment final, the Wilkes County All-Stars won two games Sunday morning to defeat the Wendell All -Stars for the champi onship. The Wendell All-Stars entered the championship final with a 3-0 record in the tournament, while Wilkes County battled back from the one-loss bracket to reach the final. Wilkes County Parks and Recreation had three teams earn berths in tour nament finals during the state championships in Camden and Currituck. During each of the awards ceremonies, repre sentatives of the Tarheel Leagues were appreciative of the support and the quality of facilities that Camden and Currituck had for the tournament during the past four days.

I am partial to the giant, juicy peaches produced in late summer on the Western Slope of Colorado since my college days and living in Boulder. My friend Grace Bean proclaims herself as a peach snob and she re cently brought me a dozen from her birthplace where she claims the best peaches are grown in the North Carolina Sandhill re gion near Southern Pines. I also recently met the Copelands at the Edenton Farmers’ Market who are famous in this area for their peaches and Farm Market on County Line Road in Belvidere. Another popular orchard in the area is Haven Acres Farm, 1027 Beech Springs Road, Hert ford, where you can pick a bushel. I believe you can also get a scoop or two of their peach ice cream there as well making the trip even more worthwhile. This week I have in cluded a recipe for my peach ice cream you can eqjoy at home. It takes a little planning and time but is well worth the wait If you just can’t wait you can always slice up some peaches and add a little sugar and a dash of nutmeg and layer them on a scoop of good vanilla ice cream. Or top your pancakes, french toast or waffles in the morning, on in crepes as I also do for guests. I love a good peach pie or cob bler, but who wants to use the oven when it’s an in ferno outside. This home- made peach ice cream is a perfect way to eqjoy sum mer and stay cool. Eqjoy! Cheryl Orr is the owner of the Cotton Gin Inn.
