SOUTH BRUNSWICK COUGARS r Frick Continued from page 1C runners around. That was the kind of inning we needed,” said coach Ward. “There were a lot of things that happened. But Josh Cumbee led that off and had a tremendous night at the plate.” In the Waccamaw 2A Conference, South remains in the battle playing .500 and will play three games in four days this week. The Cougars traveled <to South Columbus on Tuesday, hosts North Brunswick on Thursday (see relat ed story) and hosts Whiteville on Friday. The Cougars handed Whiteville (4-1) its only loss of the season in a 3-2 game played March 16 in Whiteville. It was the first time in ten years South had defeated the baseball powerhouse. In the big second inning against East Columbus, scoring runs for South were Cumbee, Wes Knox, Shrader, Harper and Coughlin. In the third inning, East Columbus batters grounded out and flied out before Frick struck out the third man at bat. South got a double from Knox and a single from Mintz in the third, but nothing developed like in the second and the inning ended with a double play. “We had several guys get key hits in mat inning, saia ward. “We needed that from getting shutout the other night (8-0 at West Columbus). We needed that home win to pull us back even.” In the fifth inning, Chad Dillahay relieved Frick on the mound and allowed one single, had one strike out and two players grounded out. South responded in the bottom of the fifth by scoring a run off a Scott Grady single and another double by Cumbee that scored Eric Ottaway (running for Grady). In the sixth, Dillahay had two strikeouts and a ground ball out, and South responded in the bottom of the sixth with another run. This time it was off of a fielder’s choice that scored Coughlin, who reached first on a single and then stole both second and third. It gave South a 7 2 cushion. In the seventh, a double followed a pair of sjngles by East Columbus that scored two to close the gap' to 7-4. But the threat wasn’t over there. Two throwing errors enabled the Gators to push two more runs across the plate to close within 7-6 before Dillahay got the last two batters to fly out and to strikeout to en^ the game. ‘We needed that from getting shutout the other night. We needed that home win to pull us back even.’ South coach Daniel Ward Cougs third at golf match South Brunswick shot a 179 and finished third out of four teams in a conference match Monday at Fox Squirrel Country Club at Boiling Spring Lakes.
