Page 2B The Kings Mountain Herald | www.kmherald.net Wednesday, April 24, 2013 KM’s Alex Reynolds steals third in victory over East Rutherford. Reynolds’ walk-off HR beats East Rutherford A walk-off two-run home run by Alex Reynolds in the bottom of the seventh inning lifted Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers over East Rutherford 4-2 in a non-conference baseball game Wednesday night at Lancaster Field. The visiting Cavaliers forced the issue in the top of the inning when a sacrifice fly by Logan Hawkins tied the game at 2-all. Reynolds also got the win on the mound, coming over from first base to relieve starter Alex Grooms after Grooms walked the first two batters. After fanning Brandon Williams, Reynolds walked John Padgett to load the sacks for Hawkins. The Cavaliers re-loaded the bases on another walk before Reynolds fanned pinch-hitter Reece Hollow to get out of the jam. Wil Sellers’ single set the stage for Reynolds’ homer over the left field fence. The teams battled on even terms through- out most of the contest with good pitching and defense. The Cavaliers grabbed a 1-0 lead in the top of the first on Tripp Hamrick’s single and an error. Kings Mountain tied the score in the third when Reynolds doubled off the top of the centerfield fence, stole third and scored on an error. Sophomore designated hitter Brandon Bell, who. was called up from the JV team prior to the game, slammed a solo home run over the center field fence to put the Moun- taineers on top 2-1 in the fifth. Grooms did an excellent job on the mound. He gave up only four hits and struck out four over six innings, and at one time re- tired 11 batters in a row. Hits by Trent Self and Strickland broke the string with one out in the sixth. After a strikeout, the Moun- taineers got out of the inning when Strick- land broke for third base and was tagged out in a rundown. ! Cameron Bullock led a 9-hit KM plate at- tack with three singles. Reynolds had two hits and Colby Crisp, Bell, Grooms and Sell- ers added one each. : Lady Mountaineers win county track crown Kings Mountain High’s women’s track team successfully defended its Cleveland County championship by winning the annual County Meet Tuesday at Crest High School.

The Mountaineers de- feated South Point and Crest, both by 6-3 scores, to end in a tie with Crest and Forestview. Ashbrook fin- ished in first place. "After losing 8-1 last Thursday against Forestview was a big disappointment," said KM Coach Rick Hen- derson. "Even though we are young, we are determined. I was just elated after winning five singles matches out of six against a strong team such as South Point. Winning five of six singles matches against Crest was a major confidence boost for our ten- nis program." Crest won the tie-breaker to go to the state tournament as the BSC's second place SPORTS team. The BSC tournament will be held April 24 at Bigger- staff Park in Dallas. Isaiah Cole and Dillon Ervin will be playing doubles along with Dalton Cash and Robert Baker. Gibson Connor and Alex Lovelace will be play- ing singles. KM-SOUTH POINT Singles Isaiah Cole (KM) d.
