Cape Hatteras, N.C. – The Carolina Flight – a motley assortment of Chicago Black Sox hopefuls and castoffs if ever there was one – launched their 2042 Rupert Horn Memorial League season with a 4-2 week that put them on top of their division in the Granville East Coast Division.
Catcher Spencer Hillson and DH Clarence Terry both got off to strong starts at the plate: Hillson slashed .353/.476/.588 and Terry slashed .350/.458/.650. Both had a homer and 6 RBIs apiece.
On the mound, SP Derrek Terry impressed, going 1-0 in 2 starts, with a 0.82 ERA, 10 strikeouts and 5 walks in 11.0 innings.
“It was a fine start,” said manager Jeff Matthews. “It’s only the first week, so let’s not read too much into it. But – it’s certainly better than starting 2-4, so we’ll take it.”
