Kentucky glides past CPB
on shoddy playing field
By DUANEE. HARRIS
Sports Editor
Both KFC and Central Progressive
arrived at Jaycee Park Monday, May 27
only to find an "uncared for" field, ac-
cording to Central Progressive Coach AI
Courouleau.
"There's no excuse for the grounds
being in that terrible shape! It's a shame!
So irs a holiday. These kids are here to
play, there are no lines and the turf is in
absolutely terrible shape! If the city
won't let us know that they're not going
to bother with it then 1'11 come over and
put it in shape myself and not get paid.
As for the lights, if they get the bulbs I'II
put them in too! It's a matter of responsi-
bility and the city is responsible for the
field's upkeep," said Courouleau.
In any event, KFC took the lead ear-
ly, broke a tie and win over Central Pro-
gressive by one run 8-7. (Kentucky
Fried remains in first place and Central
Progressive tie for second.)
"It's just not Progressive's night on the
mound," remarked "Mrs. Baseball",
Margie Lessard, from the park press
box. Stanley Brown took the mound
first for CPB. He walked seven and
struck out three in two innings while
Larry Terry mounted up striking out
nine KFC batters, walked five and al-
lowed only two hits in the four innings
of play.
Meanwhile, KFC's sole pitcher Ste-
phen Perrin struck out 12 batters,
walked only two and allowed 12 hits in
the entire six frame span he had
pitched.
"How many teams does it take to
prove that we're the best?" inquired
KFC baseman Robert Foster. Only time
will tell.
Anyway the KFC team took time in
warming up but ended in victory, scor-
ing eight runs taken on only four hits to
which Stephen Perrin added a home
run, three stolen bases, a wild pitch, 12
walked batters and 12 strike outs.
However their win wasn't as easy as it
had appeared to have been.
KFC had the lead at the top of the
sixth frame by three runs. But Progres-
sive was up next.
Larry Terry, CPB's prime pitcher,
reared up to bat rapping out a hard dou-
ble. Larry's father leaped five foot off
the ground as the fans cheered them
0n.
Derek Allen struck out next hut Gene
Malone was put at first on a wild pitch.
At this point the CPB fans trembled in
pure amazement when Tommy Lucas
loaded the bases on a walk. Jeremy
Schmidt felt at ease at the plate and cra-
cked off a single that brought home both
Larry and Gene due to a KFC infield
ell'or,
"It's up to you," reminded Coach AI
when CPB's Damon Delaune ap-
proached the plate. Damon later ended
the game with his second consecutive
strike-out of the game.
Larry Terry and Stanley Brown were
the men to beat on the CPB team. At
the plate, Larry pulled in one run taken
on a double and a triple while Stanley
made way scoring two runs taken on
two singles.
Other superior CPB players were
Brett Tilyou who attributed a run on a
single; Suiki Courouleau who was
credited with a run on a walk; Ronnie
Corbin who was credited with a run
taken on two hits: Gene Malone who
turned a fastball in the stomach injury
into a run; others to crack off hits were
Chris Wilson, Tommy Lucas, and Jere-
my Schmidt.
KFC listed several outstanding
achievements made at the plate.
Overall, Stephen Perrin led the team
with three runs taken on a home run, a
walk, a single and a stolen base. Mean-
while Shane McMorris followed close by
although he never rapped out a hit.
Shane composited three runs taken on
two walks, a wild pitch and three stolen
bases. Shane also led as the team's
Kentucky Fried baseman Robert
Foster carefully eyed the pitching tech-
nk:iues demonstrated by Central Pro-
gressive's prime pitcher Larry Terry
Monday, May 27. Robert was only one
leading base thief.
But it could not have been done with-
out .the tremendous efforts applied by
teamsluggers Robert Foster, Lenny Mil-
ler, Chris Flannagan, Bobby Lee, Jim
Woods, Brannon Pittman, Corey
Roguin, Shane Blodgett and Gene Fer-
rant.
Speaking of Gene Ferrant in that
game, he was unanimously nominated
for the game's best catch. Gene single

over Central Progressive.

handedly captured a sure fire grand
slam after scrambling 20 yards to catch
it! Gene apparently believed the rumor
that ma)or league scouts were spotted in
Jaycee Park(By the way, who started
that rumor?)
KFC kept the winning torch lit scoring
those eight runs but their next op-
position announced their threat earlier
this week. Check your schedule!

Persistence pays off?. If so, Kentucky
Fried's extensive efforts paid off well
during their twi-night match held Thurs-
'-.. day, May 23. KFC listed another vic-
\\; tory to their unblemished by defeating
Citizens National Bank 8-4.
If the game was compared to any TV
show, which one? KFC baseman Robert
Foster replied, "Mission Impossible."
"Don't laugh. We're only halfway
through the season and I might be
right." added Foster.
"'They just didn't have the edge."
remarked KFC pitcher Stephen Perrin.
Stephen. who says very little, persists as
an authority on Dixie Youth Baseball.
Nevertheless, all KFC fans focused
their eyes on the performance of KFC'S
two outstanding players at the plate:
Shane McMorris and Jim Woods.
Shane picked up a home run and a
double while bringing in three RBI's.
Woods led as the leading scorer with
two runs taken on a double and two
inales.

Kiwanis players set team highs
By DUANE E. HARRIS

Although it was no guessing game,
what team compiled 18 runs taken on
13 hits in which there were five
doubles, 17 team ribeyes, eight walked
batters, a sacrifice, three stolen bases, a
triple and only six strike outs this week?
A clue? It was a Dixie Youth team. If
you doubt the above statistical listing,
just ask any Land of Sports player.
Yes, Kiwanis sent out every player to
score during their season stomp over
Land of Sports.
It was definitely not your average
Dixie Youth game. Kiwanis simply
powerhoused Land of Sports in every
aspect o the ame.
Kiwams had three players reach the
three run mark Willie McCrory, Trey
Harris and Colin Uter all added in three
individual runs. Willie contributed his
individual runs each on
hits. Philip Bougere, Paul
Rusty Milton and Clay Thompson
included on the phenomenal list
game achievements. Phil cracked
two singles and stole one base;
Jackson was walked twice;
Milton boasted a single and a double,
strike out and two RBI's and
Thompson was the only batter to
out a triple. Clay also added five
vidual ribeyes and a stolen
It was clear to see that Land of
never got the chance to
the door. In fact the door was nev
even there.
Brady Mathews, Devin Barring:
Mark Canterbury, Chris Reeves ,ndan
Chad Roussell provided the action f'
Land of Sports.
Brady listed a hit, Devin
the team with the only run taken
two hits; Mark was walked
