SOPH PROSPECTS - Eric Moore, left, and Eric
Dixon come into the game for Kings Mountain High a
lot when the Mounties are In ‘pinch.’ Both Erics are
used by Coach Barry Gibson as pinch-hitters and pinch-
runners. The Mountaineers Hod themselves In a pinch
as they look toward their remaining Southwest Con
ference games. They’re likely going to have to win the
rest of their games to qualify for the playoffs, beginning
tonight when they host East Gaston.
The Warriors, coached
by former KMHS athlete
Jerry Adams, come to
Lancaster Field tonight for
a 7:30 game. KMHS could
get back into the thick of
the battle with a victory,
but a loss would almost
certainly kill any playoff
hopes the Mountaineers
have.
Adams, In his first year
as East Gaston baseball
coach. Is expected to throw
JERRYADAMS
with any consistency.
The senior outfielder
currently Is the only player
hitting over .300. He’s 8-
fbr-17 (or a .471 average.
The only other player
anywhere close to the .300
mark Is Ellis's replace
ment at catcher, Tim
Whitaker. He's hitting .288.
The Mountaineers
managed only four hits
Friday against South
Point's ace righthander,
Dlz Richmond. They never
could manage more than
one hit In any one Inning.
KMHS scored both of Its
runs in the fourth Inning,
one scoring on a fielder’s
choice and the other on a
double by Danny Bolin.
South Point had grabbed
a 2-0 lead off Ronnie Wilson
tai the third on a walk and
two errors by centerflelder
Jimmy Hall.
The Raiders got back-to-
back singles by Richmond
and Mitch Painter to open
the decisive sixth and
Cbach Gibson called Leach
out of the bullpen.
An out later, Richmond
was caught In a rundown
on a suicide squeeze at:
tempt, and Painter ended
iq> on third. He then scored
the winning run on a
passed ball.
The Mountaineers blew
several scoring chsinces.
After being retired In order
in the first inning, they put
runners in scoring position
in each of the last six
frames, but couldn’t come
iq> with any hits to drive
them home.
South Point had runners
in scoring position In every
inning except the fourth
and fifth, when Wilson
retired the Raiders In
order.
