Post 232 drops two of three in weekend Legion Series

Cary takes the rubber game of the series, 5-4 Sunday at Trojan Park. Garner takes a 2-0 lead in the first on a 2-run home run by Wil Medlin. Cary rallies for 3-run sixth to take the lead. Post 232 ties the game on a bases loaded walk in the seventh. In the eighth, Cary gets a lead off home run by Eric Brady and a RBI single by Cory Shackelford to give Cary (4-3) a 5-4 lead. Garner gets the tying run to second in the ninth, but couldn’t bring him in to fall to 2-4 for the year.

Cary Post #67 took the second game in the weekend series Saturday night, played at Middle Creek, also by a 5-4 score. Wil Medlin and Zach McDowell have RBI doubles to tie the game 4-4 in the eighth, but Cary gets a lead off triple in the bottom half by Will Smith and then a sacrifice fly by Percy Evans gave Cary the 5-4 win.

Furl, Adams lead Post 232 past Cary
Landon Adams goes 2-4 with an RBI double and Zach Furl picks up his second win as Garner Post 232 tops Cary 2-1. Furl goes 5 innings with 7 strikeouts and John Atkins pitches 3 inning of relief for the save. Adams 2-out double drives in Kyle Canfield with the go ahead run in the fifth after Cary had tied the game in their half of the inning. Cary threatens in the sixth but a terrific catch by second baseman Trey Williams kills the threat:
