Softball Bounces Raiders; Moves on to Round Three
Amanda Hulmes delivered a ninth inning base hit to score Amber Kirkland and send the Lady Trojans to the third round of the NCHSAA 4-A State Playoffs for the second straight year with a 2-1 victory over Richmond County.
Garner (19-2) took a one-run lead in the second when Courtney Weathersbee drove home Kirkland who had reached earlier in the inning.
That lead stood until the seventh inning when the Raiders tied the game against Lauren Marbery (W, 19-2) who kept the visiting Raiders off balance most of the night until they were able to knot the score in their final at bat before the Lady Trojans rallied to win.
Garner will return home for the third round on Friday night when they welcome Jack Britt to Trojan Field, first pitch is set for 7:00.

Trojans Fall to Rose; Season Ends
WEB CAST.
Greenville Rose scored six runs in their first two at bats on Friday night and never looked back as the Rampants advanced to the second round of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association 4-A Playoffs with a 9-2 win over Garner at Trojan Park on Friday night.
Rose (19-5) led by a pair of runs as they came to the plate in the second and added to their lead against Trojan right Tyler Marshburn (L, 3-5). After the first two reached for Rose, Chris Hall and Gray Dixon delivered back-to-back RBI singles and after a sacrifice fly later in the frame, Rose led 6-0.
Garner (15-10) trailed 7-0 before they scored their only two runs of the game in the fourth.With two outs, Carrington Austin and Vince Jefferies both reached ahead of Skyler Strickland who singled to bring home Austin and on a throwing error, Jefferies also scored to make it 7-2.
That would be as close as the Trojans would get as Rose scored single runs in the fifth and seventh to go up 9-2. Which proved to be more than enough for Rampant pitcher Jarrett Ozmick who worked a complete game scattering four hits allowing just two runs while walking four and striking out seven.
The Trojan Family would like to say thank you to the class of 2012 for making this such a special season.

However, the Knights couldn't score as Hudson educed a line out, and a pair of ground outs to escape the inning without any damage done.

With one man out, Jake Faucette singled to right and two hitters later, Vince Jefferies triple him home to make it 1-0. Aquail Sanders followed with a double to plate Jefferies and make it 2-0 Trojans.
