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.
