For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when Ayden - Grifton and Pamlico County meet (three straight games heading into this one) and that held true again on Wednesday. The Ayden - Grifton Chargers fell 4-1 to the Pamlico County Hurricanes. The Chargers were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Hurricanes apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in March of 2024.
Kenlie Guthrie spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned runs on nine hits. What's more, she gave up only zero walks, the fewest she's had since back in May of 2024.
At the plate, Ayden - Grifton saw seven different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Shia Mitchell, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one double. That double was Mitchell's first of the season.
Ayden - Grifton's loss dropped their record down to 3-5. As for Pamlico County, the victory was the fourth in a row for them, bringing their record for this year to 6-3.
Looking ahead, Ayden - Grifton will venture away from home to face off against Farmville Central at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. As for Pamlico County, they will host Lejeune at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. Lejeune has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 8.89 runs per game on average), something Pamlico County will no doubt try to take advantage of.
