The Outer Banks Daredevils are teaming up with The Lost Colony of Roanoke Island this Sunday for a special tribute to the longest running outdoor drama. For years, The Lost Colony has served as a training ground for many accomplished alumni.
The Outer Banks Daredevils sent 12 batters to the plate in the first inning, plating eight runs, as they blew out the Gastonia Grizzlies 12-3 in a Coastal Plain League out-of-division matchup. With the win, the Daredevils (24-11, 5-2 second half) are now 3-0 against the CPL’s West Division after defeating Forest City and Martinsville at home earlier this season.
Outer Banks starting pitcher Brock Piper (Auburn-Montgomery) has decided to the leave the Daredevils to pursue his dream of playing in the major leagues. Piper plans on signing a free-agent contract with the Texas Rangers this weekend.
