Another Mackenzie masterpiece. Sitting down 17 of the 22 batters he faced by way of the strike- out and yielding only one hit, Whiteville High School junior lefthander Mackenzie Gore turned in another brilliant state playoff pitching performance Saturday at Legion Stadium. It came in a 1-0 victory over Voyager Academy of Durham for the team’s fourth straight shut-out win in as many playoff games. Whiteville got the game’s lone run on a 3-2 bases-loaded pitch to Hunter Cartrette with two outs. The two-time defending state 1A champion Whiteville squad, now with a 24-3 record, has tentatively been set to play host to East Carteret on Wednesday at 6 p.m. in the opening game of the best-of-three Eastern N.C. 1A Regional championship series. The second game is tentatively set for Thursday at Beaufort at 6 p.m., with a third game, if necessary, back at Whiteville’s Legion Stadium on Saturday. Coach Jason Salter’s ECHS Mariner squad (18-7) advanced Friday with a 6-2 win over Spring Creek. Gore, who had thrown a no-hitter as a freshman against the Voyager team two years ago in fourth-round play, gave up Photo by Selena Gore a first-inning, one-out single to Voyager’s Chase Sykes before Whiteville High soccer player Sam Lane (left) advances retiring the next 20 Viking batters.

Coach Ronnie Todd’s WHS squad advanced Friday by tak- ing a 6-1 fourth-round victory over visiting Rosewood on the strength of four goals by senior Madison Hinson, who has become the Lady Wolfpack’s all-time career leading scorer this season. Morgan Rasberry and Logan Schultz also added goals against the Rosewood team. Hinson now has a 142 career-goal total. Whiteville, now carrying a 21-5 record, will travel Tues- dau to Wake Forest (the town, not the college) to take on top seeded Franklin Academy (20- 0-1) at 6 p.m., in the Eastern N.C. championship match. Whiteville, which has won the past three Three Rivers Conference championships, went unscored on in all of its conference games. “This has been a good group,” Todd said. “We got off to kind of a shakey start, but the team has progressed a lot this season. “No doubt we have our big- gest challenge of the season at Franklin Academy,” he added. Tuesday’s winner will advance to play the Western champion, either Community School of Davidson or Union Academy in the state championship match.” Last fall, the Franklin Acad- emy boys won the state 1A championship.
