Kings Mountain pushed
across an unearned run in the
bottom of the sixth inning to
defeat a good North Gaston
team 1-0 in a Big South 3A
Conference softball game
last Tuesday night at Lan-
caster Field #3.
Sophomore southpaw
Reagan Childers of the
Mountaineers hooked up in a
pitcher’s duel with Sidney
Mitchell of the Wildcats as
both ladies pitched S-hitters.
Childers struck out nine in
the first complete game per-
formance of the year for a
Mountaineer in BSC play.
Childers also got the win-
ning rally going when she
singled to center to lead off
the bottom of the sixth. She
was sacrificed to second by
Taylor Faris, who was safe
when the North first base-
man dropped the ball.
Emily Bell went in to run
for Childers. An out later,
Caroline Chambers also
gained life on an error and
the bases were full of KM
runners. After fouling off
several pitches Caitlyn
Braunns hit a routine
groundér to second which
was booted and Bell scored.
Childers issued her sec-
ond walk of the game to
North's leadoff batter in the
seventh, but buckled down
2011
to strike out the next two bat-
ters. Molly Morrow singled
to right to put runners on
first and second but Ashley
Roper’s grounder to. third
. was handled cleanly by KM
freshman Molly Short, who
stepped on third for a force
out to end the game.
Kings Mountain’s de-
fense played exceptionally
well to back up Childers’
strong pitching performance.
Caroline Chambers and Tori
Glass combined for a double
play following a single by
Mitchell in the fourth and
Childers retired the next six
batters in a row, including
three by strikeouts, before is-
suing ‘the leadoff walk to
Burnell in the top of the sev-
enth.
Braunns led the KM plate
attack with 2-for-3 and Faris,
Chambers and Childers
added a hit apiece.
