LEXINGTON — Randolph County Post 45 lost for the first time this season in American Legion baseball with Sunday’s 7-6 setback to host Davidson County Post 8.
Randolph County overcame a five-run deficit to pull even before Davidson County scored the final run.
Zack Scruggs drove in two runs for Post 45. Tate Andrews, one of four pitchers used, took the loss.
The game came after a week off because of weather-related schedule adjustments.
Post 45 and Liberty Post 81 have two scheduled meetings during a five-day stretch. There was a scheduled matchup Wednesday night at Eastern Randolph and a rematch Sunday night at McCrary Park in Asheboro.
** Post 81, which had three games postponed last week, fell twice on the weekend.
Liberty dropped a 7-1 decision at host Hamlet Post 49 on Saturday. Luke Johnson suffered the pitching defeat.
On Sunday, also at Hamlet, Garner Post 232 topped Post 81 by 9-4 in a rain-shortened five-inning game. Grant Kirk homered and Westin Phillips had a two-run double for winless Post 81. Cade McCallum took the loss.
