Nathan Hood pitched a four-hit shutout and clouted a two-run homer in the first inning Fri- day in Whiteville’s 4-0 shutout over Waccamaw 2A-3A Conference opponent West Brunswick. Coach Brett Harwood’s Whiteville team now has a 3-0 conference record and a 10-1 overall mark. The Wolfpack has won its last nine games. Hood, a sophomore lefthander, struck out eight batters and only one West Brunswick runner advanced past first base. WHS catcher Jacob Long threw out two Trojan runners try- ing to steal second base. Hood had two of Whiteville’s five hits and drove in three runs off WBHS righthander Trey Brown as he put the Wolfpack ahead to stay in the bottom of the first inning when his home run landed several rows up in the football stands in centerfield for a 2-0 lead. The Wolfpack added another run in the third inning when Jesse Simmons was hit by a pitch, moved to second on a ground out by Hood, took third on a single by Long and scored on an error of a Frank Ciamillo ground ball. In the fifth inning, Hyland Tyler reached on a walk for the Wolfpack and scored on a single by Hood. Brown struck out four batters in going the Staff photo by Mark Gilchrist distance on the mound for the Trojans. The loss dropped West Brunswick’s conference record to Gator Trail Run 1-3.
