A night of dominance
Rowan County’s ace right‑hander Maddox Moore delivered a masterclass on the mound, tossing a complete‑game shutout that left the Wadesboro Tigers without a single run. Moore fanned eight batters while allowing just two hits and two walks, showcasing the kind of control that has become his trademark.
The 10‑0 final score came via the mercy rule, giving the team a decisive victory that extended their winning streak to six consecutive games. The performance not only solidified Moore’s reputation but also reinforced the squad’s confidence as they head into a packed schedule.
Offensively, Rowan County exploded for double‑digit runs. Luke Ponczka ignited the scoring with a two‑run single in the first inning, while Brant Graham cleared the bases with a double that pushed the lead to 5‑0. Drew Pegram added a double in the fifth to drive in his second run of the night.
The rally was supported by contributions from Gaige Scruggs and Cole Blevins, who delivered run‑scoring singles in the third, and by defensive stalwarts such as Jackson Burr and Cam Williamson, who made key plays to keep the momentum rolling. Even third‑baseman Kendal Sifford, a standout pitcher, contributed a double at the plate.
Looking ahead, the team will travel to face Matthews on Friday and Mooresville on Saturday, before enjoying an off day on Sunday. The upcoming contests will test whether the recent surge can be sustained as the season progresses.
