Chuck Carpenter’s home run
highlighted a four-run Kings
Mountain uprising in the fifth
inning Wednesday at Burns and
sparked the Mountaineers to a
10-7 win over the Bulldogs in a
Southwestern Conference base
ball game.
The Mountaineer uprising eras-'
ed a 7-6 Burns lead and sent ,
sophomore relief pitcher Keith
Parker toward his first victory of |
the season. j
Carpenter’s clout led off the
Mountaineer fourth and singles
by Robbie Moore and Grafton ^
Withers, two walks and an error j
led to three more Mountaineer ;
tallies. i
Parker, who pitched three and
two-thii^d innings, came on in the
second inning after the Bulldogs
t:;ok a 7-5 lead off starter Danny ;
Hartsoe. Rick Hord relieved Par- j
ker in the sixth and received
credit for a save. ‘
Burns outhit the Mountaineers,
U to 10, but six of the Bulldog
bits came in the first two innings
off Hartsoe. Burns secured only
four hits off Parker and one oil
Hord.
Moore, Withers. David Bolin
and Geeper Howard paced the
Mountaineers at bat with two
hits apiece. Carpenter’s homer an'd
a first inning double by Parker
were the other two blows off
three Burns hurlers.
Kings .Mountain struck fora 5-0
lead in tlie top of the first on
Parker’s double, Bolin’s single,
three walks and an error. But
Mike Blanche’s homo run high-
lig5iU‘d a four-run Burns rally in
the first and Scott Hamrick’s
round-tripper koyt'd a three-run
second inning rally which moved
the Bulldogs ahead 7-5.
Consecutive singles by Withers,
Bolin and Howard cut the mar
gin to 7-6 in the fourth and set
the stage for KM’s winning rally
in the fifth.
