American Legion baseball: Post 45 starts season with two victories

ASHEBORO — Randolph County Post 45 began its baseball season with a pair of victories during the weekend at McCrary Park.

Post 45 topped Moore County Post 12 by 13-3 in its opener as Drew Harmon pitched four innings and Elijah Prince worked the fifth. Zack Scruggs had two doubles and Jake Riddle scored three runs.

Then came Sunday’s 7-3 decision against Mocksville-Davie Post 54.

** Liberty Post 81 got started a weekend earlier and struggled with losses in its first three games.

Liberty lost twice at home to Moore County on separate days, falling 17-9 and 16-5 and then dropped a 9-3 decision at Davidson County Post 8.

Post 81 had limited player availability because Eastern Randolph’s team was in the high school state playoffs.
