The visiting North Duplin Rebels rebounded from a game one loss to take a 12–3 win over East Columbus in Thursday’s game two of the 1A East Region best of three series. Game three is scheduled for North Duplin Friday at 6 p.m. due to rain in Saturday's forecast.
The contest was a complete reversal of game one, with North Duplin cutting down on walks and making the routine defensive plays. The Rebels benefited from six Gators errors.

North Duplin was awarded a double play after interference was ruled on the throw from second base to first.
Two out of three umpires agree that it is chilly for late May! Actually they are giving their decision on the interference call at second base.
