That’s the only reason we lost the one regular season game to Chase.” Kings Mountain, which won the Eastern Division title of the split SWC, will host the second place team from the Western Division (either Crest or East Rutherford) in the opening game of a best-of-three series beginn- ing either Monday or Tuesday. The second game will be played away and the third game, if necessary, will be back in Kings Mountain. The winner will ad- vance against the winner of the Chase-North Gaston game for the overall SWC title. Kings Mountain’s success this spring has been the result of ex- perience and hard work. Clark has eight returnees from last year’s team which tied for se- cond in the division and made the SWC playoffs, and he has some talented sophomores and juniors who have filled in at key positions. No less than six Mountainet- tes are hitting over .500 and the team has received excellent pit- ching from Melanie Herndon (14-1) and Leslie Sellers (5-0 with five saves). But the big key to the team’s success has been the defense, which failed only in the 74 loss to Chase. “After 20 games, we're giving up only 3.9 runs a game, which is excellent for slowpitch soft- ball,” says Clark. Senior Pat 'Davis leads the team in hitting with a .556 average and has been All- Conference two years running at second base. Outfielder Melinda Roberts is also hitting over .500 and has over 40 runs batted in. “Roberts hits the ball as hard as any girl has ever hit a softball,” says Clark. First baseman Becky Bolt, cat- cher Tippy Curry and outfielders Cindy Bullock and Yvette Moore are glso over the .500 mark. Edie Herndon, a sophomore catcher, and Dawn Morris, a senior outfielder, are hitting over .500 off the bench. Outfielder Leigh Anne Odell is probably the best leadoff hitter in the conference. She has come to bat over 75 times “and con- sistently gets on base,” says Clark. She is also hitting over 500. Other members of the team are Shannon Curry, a junior who has done a good job runn- ing the bases; Debbie Nance, who has improved tremendously and will be a big help next year; Susie Moore, a sophomore third baseman who has done an ex- cellent job defensively, and Joan- na Boheler, a junior shortstop who Clark calls his best defen- sive player. Also contributing greatly to Kings Mountain High's girls softball team closed out regular season play last Friday with a 12-8 win over Crest. Melanie Herndon hurled the victory and Leslie Sellers earned a save. Pat Davis led the hitting with 3-for-5. Becky Bolt was 2-for-3 with two runs batted in and Melinda Roberts was 2-for4 with a two-run homer. RE-ELECT EDITH L. LUTZ DEMOCRAT N.C.
