Peeler And Champion
Lead KMHS Hitting
Seniors David Peeler and
Mark Champion were the only
regulars to hit over .300 for
Kings Mountain High’s baseball
team this spring.
Peeler collected 17 hits in 38
trips to the plate for a .447
average. Champion collected 17
hits in 51 trips for a .333
average.
The Mountaineers compiled a
211 team batting average with
91 hits in 432 trips to the plate.
Junior righthander Tommy
Batchler led in the pitching
department. He worked 58 inn-
ings and compiled a 2.89 earned
run average.
Coach Barry Gibson, whose
club finished 3-13 overall and
2-11 in the Southwestern 3-A
Conference, loses only three
players off this year’s team and
looks to 1984 with a lot of op-
timist. He will have 13 lettermen
returning.
“We have lots of room for im-
provement, but should be much
stronger in 1984,” he says.
