Walkoff hit gives Post 48 win in ninth

July 12, 2011

For the second time in as many days, Post 48 won in dramatic fashion on the baseball diamond.

A walkoff hit by Hickory center fielder Phillip Carroll lifted his team to a ninth inning win over Caldwell County. Hickory (18-8) leads its series over Caldwell County (19-11), 2-0.

“Phillip is a great player,” Rembert said. “From day one, he wanted that center field spot and earned it. He competes so hard every night and gives us everything he’s got. He’s a 48er.”
