The Mountaineers, who had col- " lected only 11 hits in their first three games, got nine against South Point pitchers Brent Carpenter, Heath Cherry and Brian Norris. South Point grabbed a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning on a home run by Chad Honeycutt but Kings Mountain came back with a pair in the second inning, and then broke the game open with a six-run fourth inning which was highlight- ed by Michael Bell's grand slam home run. said Coach Nelson Connor. "In the first inning we got two quick outs and then the boy knocked one out of the park. But Duane settled down and pitched a good ball game. "Duane really battles," said Connor. "There's not a whole lot of frills about him - no trickery - he just squares his shoulders up and comes at you. As long as he keeps the ball down he's going to be tough to beat. "The home run ball he threw was a good pitch. It was down. The batter just got down there with it and got all of it. It was a good stroke, but he hit a good pitch." Kings Mountain grabbed the lead with two runs in the second inning, aided by a pair of South Point errors. Chris Hutchins' two- out, two-run single scored both runs. Then, the Mountaineers scored six in the fourth to take an 8-1 lead.

Hopper and LeFevers led the KM hitting attack with two hits each. "I was extremely happy that we won big," said Connor, "but I would say that's going to be the ex- ception rather than the rule. We're going to have to scratch out a lot of “wins, and that's okay too." Connor said he was pleased with his team's defensive play despite three errors. "None of our playérs quit," he said. "In one instance, South Point had runners on first and second base and the batter hit an absolute- ly perfect double play ball to sec- ond. Our man didn't get the handle on it, but he didn't get down and quit. We continued to scrap and that's what we have to do to win."
