•• , ■ : 6 The Perquimans Weekly, May 28, 2003 Pirates fall in second round after first round rally SUSAN R. HARRIS It was a testament to the old adage “never give up.” The Pirates were down 2- 0 to Bear Grass after six complete innings in the first round of state playoffs when a late offensive surge changed the outcome of the game. Perquimans went on to win 5-2. The Pirates’ lead-off man Josh Lassiter singled to right to start the game, but it was the only Perquimans hit in the first six stanzas. Only three Pirates would reach base against a sharp Bear Grass pitcher. Pirate starter Josh Lassiter also kept Bear Grass on its toes, giving up only two hits through four innings. The Bears caught a cou ple of breaks in the bottom of the fifth when a couple of Pirate miscues and walks combined with a sacrifice and single up the middle to score two runs. The inning did end on a good note for Perquimans when a runner was thrown out at home. But in the seventh, the tide turned as Perquimans battled back and the Bear Grass pitcher lost some of his control. Mike Revels pushed the pitcher to a 3-2 count before taking a walk. John Hoggard followed with a single to left. Matt White also went toa 3-2 count before walking to load the bases. Nick Ziegler walked next to score Revels. Proctor blasted a single to right to knot the score before Jonathan Boyce laid down a perfect long bunt between the pitcher and first to score the go-ahead run. Josh Lassiter was hit by a pitch to reload the bases and Craig Matthews fol lowed with a clean shot to score two more, and put Perquimans up 5-2. Matthews, who took over on the mound in the sixth, sat the two-four men down in order to end the game and secure the win. Lassiter struck out six, walked four and gave up three hits in five innings of work. Matthews collected the win by striking out three and allowing no one to reach base in relief The Pirates couldn’t find the come-back in a second round game against North Brunswick in round two of the playoffs Saturday. The Scorpions turned a 4-3 game around in the fifth, when they scored five runs, then added four more in the sixth to prevail 13-3. The Pirates got runs from Matthews, Brock Lamb and Hoggard in the fourth to puU within one of North Brunswick. “Overall we were real pleased with the year that this team had,” said Pirates head coach Richard Thach. “We were a young team, and I thought the kids per formed well. We're real proud of what they accom plished this year.” Lady Pirates fall short in play-in game SUSAN R. HARRIS The Lady Pirates used a late-season rally to force a state playoff play-in game against Plymouth last Tuesday Unfortunately, the Lady Pirates’ rally ended one game sooner than the team would have liked, and Perquimans fell to the Lady Vikings, 5-2 in Edenton. Two errors in the fourth inning allowed three runs and jump-started the Viking offense. Plymouth added one in the fifth and one in the sixth. Perquimans got runners on base, but couldn’t get them around the bases. “We had a great run at the end of the season,” said Lady Pirates head coach Susan Cox. “The team real ly pushed hard to get to a tie with Plymouth. They won five of the last seven games.” Jamie Stallings was 2- for-4 and Danielle Stallings and Carrie Harrell both 2- for-3 in the contest. Brothers earns silver at state 1-A track meet Ashley Brothers had a photo-finish run in the 100 meter high hurdles at the state 1-1 track meet, earn ing a silver medal in the event. Brothers wUl train with USA athletes this summer with intentions of compet ing in the Junior Olympics.

The 4x200 relay team of Jones, Brothers, Copeland and Tamesha James placed sixth, while Victoria Taylor, Charity Hall, Copeland and James placed eighth in the 4x100 relay.
