West Iredell pitcher Kevin Martin does an excellent job of blocking the plate (top photo) on Kings
Mountain pinch-runner Doran Moore to get him out (lower photo) after he tried to score on a wild pitch
in Wednesday night's state playoff game at Kings Mountain's Lancaster Field. The Mountaineers won 3-2
on Mike Smith's game-winning single in the bottom of the seventh inning.

behind Stephen and I think maybe
the two-run homer was the best
thing that could have happened to
Stephen," he added. "He was feel-
ing pretty good about himself and
that kind of brought him back
down to earth. Since then he's done
remarkably well...not that he hadn't
done well before, but he is begin-
ning to be a dominating pitcher
now."
Clark said the turning point of
inning. x Sis
Stephen Fisher pitched one of the best games of his career
the game was in the top of the third
inning when West Iredell, leading
2-0, put runners on first and third
with one out. On a ground ball to
shortstop, Todd Stephenson, who
was running for Martin, broke for
the plate but knew he was going to
be an easy out after a perfect strike
by Todd Ware. He tried to hustle
back to third but catcher Chris
Rider nailed him for the second
out. Marr then alertly turned to sec-
ond and saw that Josh Danson,
who had gained life earlier on a
single, had strayed too far off sec-
ond and the Mountaineers caught
Danson in a run-down to end the
Wednesday in a 2-1, nine-inning victory over St. Stephens at Granite
Falls. He also singled home the winning run in the ninth inning.
From Page 6-A t
Stephen Fisher for the way they hit
the ball. I think it's a credit to our
program and our community for
the support we had at Granite Falls.
It was just a tremendous following
and our kids responded well."

ting three of them.
"That was a big emotional lift
for us," said Coach Clark. "We
came into bat and Rick Marr hit his
first career high school home run
and it gave us the confidence we
needed to come back."
Fisher, who collected his 11th
straight victory, finished with a
five-hitter and allowed only three
base runners after the first inning.
Ironically, all three were erased.
Rider nailed one, who was attempt-
ing to steal second, and the other
two were retired on the strange
double play.
The Mountaineers finished with
six hits off Martin, with Smith get-
