SNOW HILL -- Phillip Cunningham threw a four-hit shutout as Charles B. Aycock knocked off Greene Central 5-0 Friday night at the James Fulghum Athletic Complex.

Cunningham struck out 14 and walked just one batter in six innings of work. Adam Williams came on and pitched a scoreless seventh inning.

"Both pitchers threw it well," said Aycock coach Charles Davis. "Phillip kept his pitch count low, and he located it real well."

Matthew Waddell went 3-for-3, while Cunningham added a two-run double.

"I really think that may be our secret -- hitting," said Davis. "I'm thinking we can swing the bats and score a few runs"

Green Central played a solid defensive game, turning a pair of double plays.

Aycock (3-0) will host Southern Wayne on Tuesday, while Greene Central (1-3) will play at Kinston on Monday.
