righthander Rusty Bumgard-
ner, who was the winner in
|| three of KM’s first five vie-

the fifth and five more in the
seventh to break the game
open.
Kings Mountain had eight
hits with Thomas Breakfield
leading the way with two.

Bobby Pearson, Del Postell,

Boheler’s two-run homer in
the third inning cut the North

Breakfield’s two-run double
sparked a three-run rally in
the fourth that made it 6-5.
North Gaston brought its
sticks out again in the top of
the fifth to score three runs
for a 9-5 lead and chase
Bumgardner. Sophomore
Brent Bagwell finished up.
The Mountaineers cut the
margin to 9-7 with a pair of

top of the seventh and the
Wildcats put the victory on
ice.
