| Jay Aparicio |
Ever since Jay Aparicio moved into Rocky Mount Post 58's starting lineup, he's been getting extra-base hits.
Tuesday evening, he went even deeper.
Aparicio slammed a walk-off grand slam to left off reliever Brock Rouse to send Pitt County Post 39 back down N.C. 43 with a 10-0 loss.
It was the climax to a seven-run seventh inning that gave Post 58 a 10-run rule victory.
While Aparicio was guiding the offense, Rocky Mount's pitching was sublime. Post 58 starter Jeremy Sloop had his best outing of the season in throwing a three-hit shutout.

Sloop (1-0) walked one battler, hit one batter and struck out five. In getting his first win of the season, he even worked his way out of a bases-loaded jam in the second inning.
How impressive has Aparicio been this season?
He's only played in 11 of Post 58's 23 games, yet he leads the team in RBI with 20. He is also the team leader with a .452 batting average. Tuesday evening he was 2-for-4 with a double and four RBI.
