Patriots beat Shelby 13- 10
Kings Mountain Middle School opened its
baseball season Friday with a 13-10 Victory over
Shelby.
Will Sellers went 2-for-4 and Taylor Cash,
Mitchell Cloninger, Cameron Pittman, Matthew
Moss, Trey Sellers, Logan McGill and Canaan
Green had a hit apiece for the Patriots.
Trey Sellers, Matthew Moss, Will Sellers, Logan
McGill, Taylor Cash and Cameron Pittman
shared pitching duties.
Will Sellers scored on a fielders choice and
Trey Sellers singled in a run to give the Pats a 2-0
lead in the top of the first.
Shelby came back to take a 3-2 lead in the bot-
tom of the inning, but KM went back on top for
good with two runs in the top of the second. Tyler
Gilliam reached on a error and scored on a hit by
Taylor Cash to tie the game, and Cash later scored
on a passed ball to put KM on top.
KM scored four in the third to go up 8-3.
Pittman and Will Sellers had the only hits in the
inning but KM also took advantage of two Shelby
errors.
KM built a 13-5 lead going into the bottom of
the seventh but Shelby scored five runs and had
the potential tying run at bat with two outs.
Coach Monty Deaton called on Pittman to pitch
and he struck out the batter to end the game.
Each team committed three costly errors and
KM also benefited from six bases on balls.
“This team has a lot of pressure right now
because we're coming off a 14-2 season,” Deaton
said. “We're mixing up pitchers right now.
Hopefully somebody will step up and we'll get a
good combination going. We'll have to play bet-
ter defense and get people out. We won - and
that’s good - but we can’t make errors every
game and expect to win them all. We're smaller
than we've been in the past but most of the kids
should grow and get better as the season goes
along.”
