North Lenoir was led to victory by Garrett Byrd, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Tuesday. East Duplin had no answer to Byrd as he struck out nine batters over six innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. Byrd has been consistent recently: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in three consecutive pitching appearances.
Byrd's strong effort led North Lenoir over East Duplin and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Byrd has dominated as far as hits are concerned (he's averaged 1.2 per game this season), but he's got his work cut out for him considering East Duplin has only allowed 6.58 per game this season.
