Whiteville to the state title series
later this week.
As a rule, the competition is supposed
to be somewhat keener in state
playoff action as compared to
regular season play. Obviously, someone
forgot to inform Greene of
this.
Friday's victory was his fourth

ings before North Johnston's Jeff
Smith broke up Greene's no-hit bid
with a one-out double in the sixth.
The Panthers scored one run off
Smith's double and then struck for
five in the seventh thanks to three
Wolfpack errors, two walks by
Greene and another Smith hit to right
field.
"We relaxed a little in the final inning,"
said Whiteville coach Lynwood
Hedgepeth. "This is something we
won't be able to afford to do in the
championship series."
Whiteville chased Panther starting
pitcher to the bench in the second inning
when the Wolfpack exploded for
seven runs on Greene's homer, a pair
of triples by Henry Threadgill and
Eric Pate and Mickev Worthington's
hit.
"The bad inning we had in the second
really took us out of the game,"
admitted Panther coach Doug
Parnell. "Whiteville is a good team.
We knew they had both good pitching
and hitting."

Hooks and Worthington's second hit
gave the Wolfpack a 10-0 lead and the
rout was on.
Whiteville scored three more in the
fifth on ThreadgiU's second triple of
the game and three hits by Chris
Threadgill, Greene and Hooks.
It wasn't long after the Wolfpack's
seven-run explosion in the second inning
that the proclaimation "we want
Randleman" cculd be heard from
wrmevwe tans.
The Wolfpack endured back-toback
losses to Randleman for the
state football championship in 1982-83
and another chance at the Tigers
would rate high on the list for
Whiteville followers.
Soon after the game's conclusion a
Whiteville fan excitedly raced up to
Hedgepeth during a post-game press
conference to inform the Whiteville
coach that Randleman had beaten
Bessemer Citv 9-0 for the western title.
For the Wolfpack, it will be yet
another chance to seek revenge
''against their number one neinisis.
