Warsaw All Stars In
Invitational Tournament
The Warsaw All Stars,
after being disappointed in
the District VI playoffs in
Supply last week being
ousted by Fort Bragg by a
score of 3 to 2, took a few
days off and came back
strong in the seventh annual
Marion Merit Invitational
held in Gold(sboro. The tour
nament will be played
throughout the week with 11
teams from the eastern part
of the state participating.
After play on Saturday and
Sunday, only four teams
remain unbeaten. New Bern,
the defending champs for the
last two years, is 1 and 0,
Kinston is 1 and 0 and
Warsaw is 2 and 0, and
MarMac is 1 and 0.
In the first game played
July 30, Bron Thompson, the
Little Southpaw, came in
relief in the bottom of the
first with the score knotted at
3 apiece against Kenanijville,
the bases loaded and one
away. Thompson shot down a
strong Kenansville for five
innings, allowing only two
infield hits until the sixth
inning, while the Warsaw All
Stars forged ahead by a score
of 12 to 3. However, under 95
plus temperatures,
Thompson hung on in the
last inning, while
Kenansville collected three
hits and three runs.
Defensively for the W,v
saw All Stars, they were led
by Jake Yount at Shortstop,
Thomoson and Jason
Hardin, the catcher.
At the plate, Thompson
led going 2 for 2, Drew
Outlaw getting two hits in
'I
four trips. Also getting
singles were Hardin and
Mickey Hill, for a total of six
Warsaw hits.
On Sunday the Warsaw All
Stars again faced a strong
contingent from Elizabeth
City drawing their All Stars
from 27 Little League teams.
However, behind the ace
pitching of Patrick Boyette
and the bats of Warsaw, they
were again victorious by a
score of 8 to 2. Boyette.
against good hitting, allowed
inly four base hits, while the
Warsaw All Stars picked up
seven timely hits, the most
prominent of which was
Jason Hardin's three-run
tomer in the first inning.
Thompson led off with a w alk
along with Patrick Boyette.
\fxer Thompson stole second
and moved to third, bringing
to bat nitter Hardin, who hit
a missile over the 280-foot
wall in center field to gjve the
All Stars a lead of 3 to 0.
Elizabeth City attempted
to rally on several occasions
but were stopped by fine
defensive efforts of the
Warsaw team, including a
super fielding play at third
by Ron Carlton, who threw
to Jason Hardin at home
plate to stymy a prospective
Elizabeth City rally.
Thompson stole six bases
during the two games.
Warsaw All Stars will meet
Kinston in Goldsboro on
Thursday, Aug. 4 at 6 p.m., a
semi-final game. This is in
deed a good Warsaw All Star
team who has acquitted
themselves proudly. Come to
Goldsboro and give them
vour support.

Cottle said the amount of
restricted funds limits the
freedom of county boards to
appropriate money and leads
to criticism about limited
appropriations to schools or
other local services while the
overall budget increases.

forcement and general
county government, the
county manager said.
The board increased the
county property tax rate 5
cents to 75 cents per $100 for
