W Kings Mountain's Anthony Ash pulls into third base on a base hit by one of his teammates in KM-Lincolnton Bi-County Conference baseball game at KMMS Thursday. Kings Mountain won 17-3. Pats off to fast start in Bi-County Conference Kings Mountain Middle School's baseball team has bounced back from an opening-season 7-5 loss to Shelby to run its record to 3-1 in the Bi-County Conference. The Patriots will host Burns Thursday at 4 p.m. in a battle for first place. In action last week, the Patriots edged West Lincoln 9-8 and de- feated Lincolnton 17-3. Monday afternoon, they whipped East Lincoln 14-1. Brandon Boone picked up the win in relief against West Lincoln as Kings Mountain scored five runs in the bottom of the seventh to win. Andy Leigh led the KM hitting with 2-for-4. The Patriots could do no wrong in their victory over Lincolnton Thursday at home. Kendrick Bell went the distance on the mound and scattered four hits. Robin Perkins led the hitting with 3-for-4 and Leigh and Seth Denton added 2-for-3 each. "Lincolnton is down this year," said Coach Ricky Fortner, "but we won the game like you're supposed to win it. We hit the ball real hard." Denton went the distance Monday to defeat East Lincoln on a five-hitter. He walked only one and struck out four and also led the hitting attack with 3-for-4. "His mother called earlier in the day and said he was sick," Fortner noted. "He was to be our starting pitcher. But around 11 o'clock his dad called and said he was feeling better and wanted to go to the game. If he's going to play like this every game he needs to be sick more often. I can't ask for anyone to play any better." Robin Perkins, Chad Jones, Clay Phillips and Matthew Ferguson al- so had a good day with two hits apiece. "If we keep hitting the ball like we are now good things are going to happen,” said Fortner. "The coach from East Lincoln said this is the best hitting team he's seen in this conference in many years. Our kids work real hard in practice and it's paying off."
