Home Opener
By 13 to 2
Kings Mountain High's Mouiu
taineers fought Trl-High to a 7
ali deadlock at Caroleen last Fri
day afternoon and lost the sea
son's home opener to Cherryville
here Tuesday 13-2 In South Group,
Western AA Conference action
during the past week.
Cherryville's powerful bats
proved too much for the Moun
taineers Tuesday as the visitors
pounded out 15 hits, including five
doubles and a triple, to win going
away.
After leading most of the way
at Carolfeen, the Kings Mountain
club slipped to let the Tri-Hlgh
nine catch up in the bottom of the
eighth and the two teams battled
without a run uiitll darkness over
took the field.
The game will not be completed
unless it has a blearing on the con
ference standings, Coach Shu
Carlton said yesterday. Caroleen
would not agree to complete the
contest when the two teams meet
hcHe on April 23, he said.
Righthander Earl Marlowe
started against Cherryville and
gave up a first- inning run on a
walk and two singles. The visitors
touched him for three runs on
two hits in the third and Jerry
Ross took over at the top of the
fourth.
Ross ran into trouble quickly,,
allowing five runs and five hits
in his first frame. Lefty Ray
Hbrne pitched the last two fram
es.
Ken Roberts paced Kings Moun
tain's six-hit attack with a paii
of singles in four trips.
Ronald Whitaker, who started
jn the mound for Cherryville,
got two doubles and a single, Ro
nald Turner got a single, double,
and triple, and Dick Mauney, a
double and two singles to top the
visitor's assault.
In last Friday's marathon, Ross
started and went five innings, al
lowing four runs on four hits.
Marlowe tossed the last . seven
frames, giving up three runs on
four hits.
Five double plays were ripped
off In the contest, two by Kings
| Mountain. One came In the eighth
'to stop a rally in which Caroleen
tied the score and another came
In the 11th to save the day.
Franklin Plott and Ken Ro
berts each got two hits to pace
the 9-hit Kings Mountain effort.
