SPORTING SCENE Trojan Hitting Camp Begins Tuesday BY JOHNNY CRAIG Easter holidays might mean time off for most high schools but West Brunswick baseball coach Mike Aldcrson plans to stay busy over the break. Following this week's fust annual Beach Diamond Classic baseball tournament (championship and consolation rounds scheduled for Friday), Alderson will offer a two-day hitting camp beginning Tuesday, Apr. 2, for ages 8-15. The camp will run from 9 a.m. till 2 p.m. each day. Registration is lim ited to the first 50 entrants. Cost is S25 per person. Included in the camp will be instruction involving hitting drills, video taping and lots of live batting practice. "Our emphasis is placed on teaching proper hitting mechanics in order to develop a sound stroke which will lead to success," said Alderson. The camp is ideal for players participating in the many youth leagues in the area to get a head start on the upcoming spring diamond season. Mosters Of The Close Game The Whiteville Wolfpack have been the masters of winning the close game early this baseball season. The Wolfpack broke from a 2-1 lead to score four runs in the seventh to defeat West Brunswick last Friday, 6-1. Earlier last week, Whiteville scored twice in the seventh to edge Acme-Delco 2-0. Along with the Wolfpack's 10-6 win over Acme-Delco, Whiteville currently is 1-0 in the WC, 4-0 overall and should join North Brunswick as the teams to beat as the league diamond season begins. Pitching Plentiful For West Baseball The West Brunswick baseball team is not suffering from a pitching shortage this spring according to second-year head coach Mike Alderson. The Trojans, now 0-1 in the Waccamaw 2- A Conference and 1-3-1 overall, have used no less than five pitchers in the first five games in veter ans George Daniels and Adam Johnson, the coach's son Brian Alderson, Aldwin Lance and Bryan Fleming. Daniels was scheduled to start yesterday (Wednesday) in the Trojans' opening game of the first Beach Diamond Classic baseball tournament against Chapman, S.C. Alderson indicated he plans to start son Brian in today's (Thursday) Waccamaw 2-A Conference contest at South Robeson. Johnson is a likely starter in Friday's loumey final round with the pos sibility of Fleming or Daniels providing relief help. "Lance started in the win over Hallsboro last week," said coach Alderson. "His arm got a little sore in the second inning but we're hoping he will toughen up as the season goes on." "Aldwin throws the ball well in the bullpen but he sort of short-arms the ball and tries to guide it once he gets into the game. He tends to take a little something off it (the ball)." Trojan Netters Split With South Robeson, St. Pauls The West Brunswick boys' tennis team split a pair of matches last week taking an 8-1 Waccamaw 2- A Conference win over South Robeson while dropping an 8-1 nonleague decision to Sl.Pauls. The second-place Trojans are currently 2-1 in the WC and return to action on Apr. 8 following the Easter holidays. South Robeson Results Singles: Ransom (SR) dcf.
