fourth.
It was the second straight loss
for the Mountaineers, who fell to
9-7 overall and 3-5 in the
Southwestern 3-A Conference.
Kings Mountain closes out its
regular season during the next 10
days with three important confer-
ence games. The Mountaineers
host R-S Central Friday, travel to
East Rutherford Tuesday, and end
the regular season on Friday, May
12 at home against South Point.
The Mountaineers will host the fi-
nal two rounds of the SWC tourna-
ment May 17-19.
Coach Nelson Connor used
Monday's game with East Gaston
to give his reserves a chance to see
some action. Shortstop Bryan
LeFevers and Timmy Harrelson
were the only regulars in the game
and Harrelson, who usually plays
at first base, spent his time on the
pitcher's mound.
David Stephens went the dis-
tance for the Warriors, scattering
five hits and striking out nine. He
had a one-hitter going until the bot-
tom of the sixth.
The teams matched runs in the
first inning, and East Gaston
scored a run in the second on
Nathan Cobb's single to take the
lead for good. Jamie Cogdill's sin-
gle, Kelly Womack's double and a
single by Kenny Conroy produced
two more runs in the third as the
Warriors went up 4-1.
David Albright's leadoff double
sparked a four-run explosion in the
fourth to make it 8-1. Cobb added
an RBI single and Stephens
smashed a two-run double.
Womack also singled home a run.
Allen Ware's second inning sin-
gle was KM's only hit until the
sixth inning, when Darrin Putnam
singled home Tommy Morrow to
cut the margin to 8-2. East Gaston
scored three more runs in the top of

Burns' Jason Greene is caught in a pickle between first and second base in Thursday night's game at
Kings Mountain but he avoided the tag by KM first baseman Timmy Harrelson and later scored to help
Burns win 9-6.
Mounties fall to Burns 9-6
It now appears Kings Mountain's only hope of mak-
ing the state 3-A baseball playoffs is to win the up-
coming Southwestern 3-A Conference tournament.
The Mountaineers dropped their sixth conference
game in eight outings Thursday night at home to
Burns, 9-6, leaving them in fifth place and a full two
games out of a tie for third. The top three SWC teams
qualify for the state playoffs; however, if a team which
finished lower than third wins the SWC tournament it
advances and the third place team stays at home.
The victory improved Burns' record to 5-3 and the
Bulldogs are battling South Point and Shelby for the
second and third playoff spots. After East Rutherford's
upset loss to North Gaston Friday night, the Cavaliers
now hold down first place with a 7-2 record. Burns,
Shelby and South Point all have three losses.
Kings Mountain never led against Burns but did bat-
tle back from a 6-3 deficit to tie the game at 6-all with
three runs in the bottom of the sixth. But the Bulldogs
scored three in the top of the seventh to win the game
and sweep the Mountaineers for the first time in many
years.
Three straight walks to lead off the seventh proved
to.be, KM's downfall. Burns scored the go-ahead run
on'an error and got two insurance runs.on-a double by
Eric Powell.
Brad Hoyle went the distance for the Bulldogs, scat-
tering six hits, and also helped his own cause with a
two-run home run in the top of the first inning. He also
scored the Bulldogs’ winning run in the seventh.
Bryan Leftwich started for the Mountaineers and
Robert Wingo came on with one out in the sixth.
Wingo was the loser.
Kevin Melton's solo home run, Brian LeFevers' dou-
ble and a run-scoring single by Cameron Falls tied the
game for KM in the second inning. Burns regained the
lead in the top of the third when Jason Greene singled
and later scored on a single by Hoyle, and the
Mountaineers tied it again in the bottom of the third
when Kenny Bridges singled and later scored on a sin-
gle by LeFevers.
Burns ripped Leftwich for five consecutive hits -
singles by Andy Champion, Powell, Thomas Pruette,
and Greene and a double by Chad Beam - to score
three runs and take a 6-3 lead in the fourth.
Melton's second home run of the game and his third
of the season sparked a three-run rally which tied the
score for the Mounties in the bottom of the sixth. After
Melton's blast, LeFevers tripled and scored when the seventh on singles by Brandon
Leftwich reached on an error. Leftwich later tied the ~~ Mills, Cobb and Stephens, a walk |
game on Wesley Bridges’ single. vi |
