CHAMPIONS7 p.m. After more than a quarter of a century of disappointment and shattered dreams, the Rocky Mount High baseball team is on top of the state.
The Gryphons jumped out to an early, then held on for one of the bigger wins in the history of the program early Saturday night, an 8-6 win over the East Rowan Mustangs in game three of the NCHSAA 3-A state championship series at Five County Stadium in Zebulon.
The Gryphons scored all eight of their runs in the first four innings, then pushed away the Mustangs. Brian Goodwin batted 1-for-2 with a triple and three runs scored, and received the series MVP award. Chris Berry batted 3-for-4 with a double and four RBI, and picked up the save with a 1-2-3 seventh inning. And Benton Moss, a freshman and all of 15 years old, earned another win, his seventh this season against no losses.
The state championship is the fifth for Rocky Mount. The team previously won 4-A state crowns in 1963, 1967, 1973 and 1980.
