Brimon's Yankees Win Little League Championship The Kenansville Little Lea gue baseball team known-thro ughout this area as the Yan kees. has Just completed their season with a 10-1 record. This makes the third straight year thM Manager Amos Brinson's Yanks have won the Little Tar Heel League Championship. Up until this year the Ken ans vilie Yankees were in the league with Wallace. Rose Hill and Beulaville. This year the teams from Wallace and Rose Hill did not want anything to do with the powerful K'ville team. So Manager Brinson finally got games with the teams from Chinquapin and Beulaville of the Little Tar Heel League. The teams from Wallace and Rose Hill were glad they did not have to face the outstanding Yankees. They failed to win very much a gainst a star-studded team from Kenansville. In fact the Yankees sewed up the cham pionship year before last and last year without much trou ble. The Yankees lost only one game over the two year span with the Wallace teams and Rose Hill Clubs. Of course winning Is Just a bout all Manager Brinson knows anything about, as his teams down through the past dozen years have never had a losing season. Foi-mer James Kenan star Bobby Batts and Doc Brinaon have k'Men a tre mendous help the p*sst several seasons. Coach Brin?m sUted, "I could not have had the fine record over the put three years without the services of my son Doc and Bobby .Batts',. The Yankees have compiled an overall 34-3 record (or the past three years. This years team has such outstanding prospects as first baser. ian Shaw Lewis with a .611 batti ng average. Following Lewis in the batting parade is McRae Sharpe, the right fielder with* a .966 average. Then their third base man Larry Sander son with a heavy .563 batting average. Hie Yankees were blessed with two of the best all round pitchers ever to play in this area in Clark Helton (4-1) and Doug Smith (5-0). Helton, was equally as great at the bat with a 471 average, while Smith, like Helton, played shortstop as well as taking their turn on the hill had a .342 average. Other top starters with the K'ville Yankees were catcher Rusty Merritt, with a .314 mark, Doug Lewis, Shaw's bro ther, hit 303, Paul Phillips hit .289, while brother David had a .186 average. The starting players aa a team averaged .414 tor the sea son which is hard to believe, but is veiy true. As a team the chd? scored 114 runs, with 118 hits, including 17 doubles, ? triples, and 11 home runs. Helton. 8. Lewis, and Merrttt each hit three homeruns for Other members of the Little Tar Heel Champs are: Bobby Hasty, Spike Edwards, Mike Hasty, Jim Norris, and Tommy Hines. These reserves as Man ager Brinson stated, "Our re serve strength really helps the starters because they attend practice and are always ready to step into any position that comes at game time." . Much could be said about the &ie work that Amos has done down through the years for the young boys of this area. I do mean slot of work has been put into having a program for these boys. Of course the ad ditional help that Amos get's out of former JK star Batts and Young Doc has made it possible to continue with these fine yount? boys. Ames, Doc and Bobby .... congratulations for a fine job well done.
