Greensboro, N.C. — The Northern Guilford Nighthawks defeated the Northern Durham Knights in six innings by a 10-0 margin on Thursday night to advance to the Eastern regional semifinal.
The Nighthawks were able to trigger the run rule thanks to a strong starting pitching performance by James Newsome and a consistent offensive attack that produced runs in four of the six innings.
Newsome worked around a one-out double in the top of the first, and the Nighthawks got runners on base and scored a pair of runs on a wild pitch and a passed ball to take control of the game early with a 2-0 lead.
