West Brunswick Coach Mike Al
dcrson will serve as regional head
coach this year.
"It's a pretty big honor for these
kids to be selected out of about 63
kids," Aldcrson said Monday.
Brian Aldcrson, who graduated
last week, made the regional club
last year as a junior. The pitcher
shortstop was believed to be the first
West Brunswick student named to a
stale game baseball team.
Both Gore and Fleming are ju
niors who played key roles in the
Trojans' 19-7 record Ihis spring.
Gore pitchs and plays infield, while
Fleming is a power-hitting catcher.
Coach Aldcrson said the regional
squad includes 10 high school sc
niors and 10 juniors. The region
stretches from Brunswick County
north lo Carteret County and lakes
in several inland counties.
The state games baseball tourna
ment will be June 18-21 on the UN'C
campus. Region 2 will play Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday, and lour
of the eight regional teams will ad

Alderson said the Region 2 club
has a strong pitching staff, anchored
by New Hanover's Trot Nixon and
Laney's Joey Pyrtlc.
Other pitchers include Scott Fus
sell of North Lenoir, Terry Williams
of Midway and Jason Ramsey of
Southwest Onslow. Ramsey, a ju
nior, is 25-1 the last two seasons in
high school.
"This will be my last year as
coach," Alderson said. "Once
you've been head coach you've got
to bow out and let one of the assis
tants take over."
Assistant coaches for the region
al team this year arc Tom McMahan
of James Kenan, William Rivenbark
of Pender and Jerry Baldwin of
Pamlico.

ing last week's game in Whiteville.
Coach Aldcrson said Burleson's
first-inning RBI triple was a key hit.
"That got them started, got them
tired up," he said.
The Trojans twice stranded a run
ner at third base. In the fifth inning,
Bellamy led off with a double and
moved to third base on a wild pilch.
West Brunswick failed to pick up
the run.
Whiieville ace Clay Boykin pitch
ed the enure game for the Wolfpack,
recording six strike outs and im
proving to 8-1 on the season.
Gore settled down after trouble in
the first inning and went the distance
for West Brunswick. He struck out
seven and had two hits.
West Brunswick finished the year
at 19-7. "We're proud of the season
we had," Aldcrson said. "The kids
played hard."
Kast Bladen
The Trojans had advanced to the
eastern final by beating conference
foe East Bladen last Wednesday
night in Elizabethiown.
Bellamy's two-run double in the
fourth inning was the difference as
West Brunswick beat the Cougars 3
1.

just two hits in 6 2/3 innings. Gore
picked up the final out after entering
the game with the bases loaded in
the seventh.

East Bladen, scoring West's first run
of the game.

on four pitches in the first inning
and later scored from second base
on a two-out single by Butler.
The Trojans clung to their 1-0
