Jenkins led the plate attack with 3-for-5. Smith ‘added two hits. Shelby handed Kings Mountain (its fifth loss Tuesday night at ‘Lancaster Field, 11-7. © Smith led the KM plate attack ‘with 3-for-3. Donald Bell was 2- for-3 with a home run and Ormand -also hit a home run. - Shelby broke the game open ear- ly, building a 7-0 lead after four in- mings. Kings Mountain cut the margin to 8-3 after six and 8-6 af- ter seven but Shelby scored four runs in the eighth to seal the victo- "We just haven't been coming to the ballpark ready to play," Clark said. "We're perfectly willing to let sémeone get the lead on us and then try late, dramatic comebacks. That's real exciting for the fans but is discouraging for coaches. It would be nice for the kids to come ready to play, get a lead and allow the pitchers to work comfortably. That's got to come with a little more growing up. : "We're 7-5, which is good con- sidering we draw players from only one high school and we're playing nine inning ballgames just about every night," he said. "But we started the week in first place and fell to fourth against the Shelbys and Bessemer Citys...teams we should have beaten. That's the first time that Bessemer City has beaten us since we formed our own legion team. They're something like 1-16 against us. And Shelby has beaten us only twice in the last four years. We're pleased with what we're do- ing but at the same time we don't want to start digging a hole that we can't get out of." Post 155 faces a big week in its final regular season week. The Juniors were scheduled to face Stanley last night at Lancaster Field. They play a doubleheader Friday at Belmont, host Gastonia in a single game Saturday and close out the first round with a doubleheader at Cherryville ‘Monday. "These are going to be important games," said Clark. "Everybody, except for Stanley, has four and five losses and it's important to get some wins in these final games to strengthen our seed for the Area Four playoffs." The playoffs are scheduled to begin next Wednesday. Crime of the week On June 4, 1992 at 3 a.m. three black males were seen running from a break-in at Gaston Music & Pawn Shop, 101 E.
