Roanoke Rapids Junior Legion Hosts Elizabeth City Saturday
Roanoke Rapids American Legion Juniors host Elizabeth City Juniors at Simmons Park with no definite starter named. Likely Willam Wheeler or Troy Hasty will pitch. Hasty and Hubert Lowder pace the lineup. Skelton’s elite fielding and strong hitting from Hasty Lowder Watera highlight the Jays. A local fan Curt Gore recalls a prison camp game and Val Gonzalez is a new recruit.
