thing about this year's Warrior team is the "balance" that exists between "hitting" and "pitching". The '89 squad was more of a "pitching" squad while the '88 team featured a "hitting" club. This year, Clark said the Warriors are equally strong of– fensively as weU as defensively. Although the Warriors are ble\s– ed with many strengths, Clark said the actual "keys" to a successful campaign include the health of sophomore hurlers Jeff Crocker of Marengo (Alabama) Academy and Donald Culberson of Neshoba Cen– tral who have undergone rehabilita– tion programs, and freshman out– fielder Scott Hines of Neshoba Cen– tral and Wendell Whitehead of Newton "who need to provide baserunners" for sluggers J oey Boykin of Winston Academy, Jamey Champion of Demopolis Academy and Culberson. Returning starters include Boykin (designa ted hitter), Culberson (right field), catcher Scott Allen of Livonia, Louisiana; first baseman Eric Davis of East Chatham, New York; second baseman Scott

Fulcher of Louisville; and short stop J imbo Patterson who last season played third base. Also returning is last year's top pitcher, Brian Senn of Demopolis, Alabama. Senn was ranked na– tionally in the top 10 with an ERA of 1.67 for 81 innings. Besides Senn, other starting pit– chers arc sophomore David Hub– bard of Baton Rouge, Louisiana and freshmen Brian Jones of Neshoba Central, David Luke of Nanih Waiya and Greg Perry of Edinburg who will also possibl> pro– vide "relief" help. Clark said freshmen expected to see action include third baseman Jamey Champion of Demopolis, left fielder Scott Hines of Neshoba Cen– tral; center fielder Wendell Whitehead of Newton and infielders Clay Courville of Eunice, Louisiana and Cliff Moncrief of Westlake, Louisiana and Steve Burleigh of Plaquemine, Louisiana. Clark's 24-man '90 roster includes 12 sophomores and 12 frestimen. Of the 10 starters, five are in-district athletes with five team members be– ing from out-of-district.

Warriors queeze for win

By Riley Adair Special to the Star

DECATUR- East Central us– ed a safety squeeze in the seventh inning to win a 1-o pit– cher's duel in the first game but, the second game belonged to the bats of Three Rivers Community allege as it earned a split with a 4-1 win Saturday afternoon. The Warriors won the first game when Scott Fulcher bunted home courtesy runner Jeffery Thomas with one out in the top of the seventh. Thomas was runn– m for catcher Scott Allen, who ed off the inning with a double. Stephen Burleigh then reached on a bunt, advancing Thomas to third. Eric Davis then flew out to allow left field setting up Fulcher's heroics. '·It was originally set up to be a suicide _queeze but the batter v.a unsure of the signal so as the pitcher went into the stretch, I told the runner safety squeeze,'' ECCC head coach Jam1e Clark said. "Their defense was playing in so close I didn't know if we could get it down to get the guy home." The run ended a pitchers duel v;hich saw the Warriors use a pair of pitchers - Brian Senn who started the game and went four innings and David Hubbard who picked up the wm. "'Senn has pitched like that every game out the past two )ears, so that was no surprise. Hubbard has the potential and he p1tch v. ell one game and not v. ell th,e nexL Today he pitched P..ll, Clark said. "We used both r •'- 1 ike we did because we

Despite his performance Scott Simmons sufferred his first loss ·for the Raiders. He allowed six hits, two in the seventh inning, for the game. Clark said beating him was an accomplishment. "He's been drafted and a lot of major colleges have offered him a scholarship." Three Rivers pounded out 14 hits including three home runs in the night cap off five Warri~r pitchers. Shane Eaker, Chrts Unrat and John Moon each had two hits with a two-run homer. Every player in the Raider starting lineup scored. All but one player got a hit in th~ g~me which was called after fiVe mn– mgs because of the ten-run rule. While Three Rivers was show– mg the hitting power which was missing in the first game, Steve

SCOOBA - The East Central Community College Warriors and Donald Culberson used the long ball as they defeated East Mississippi 12·7 Monday afternoon. Culberson hit a pair of three– run homers, one in the third and one in the fourth, that overcame a 3-0 deficit and helped stake the Warriors to a 9--3 lead. That gives Culberson six homers for the season. Wendell Whitehea

The Lions jumped out with three runs in the bottom of the first with Mike Deavers and Scott Istre both delivering run– scoring singles. That knocked out Warrior starter Brian Jones before he could complete the in– ning. David Luke came on and shut the Lions down for the next 31/a innings to pick up the win and push his record to 2-2. ECCC struck for four in the third and five in the fourth. The Lions got a run in the fifth but

and that is not battling." The Lions had 12 hits for the game, but Baldner was disap– pointed in his team's perfor– mance.

"I got into a situation in where we are playing a conference game on Wednesday and I couldn't use Senn and Hubbard but for an inning or two. I thought that Hubbard and Crocker pitched well." The downfall of the Lions was the fact they left 10 men on base. "There were just two many guys left on," Baldner said. "We were battling back in that we got men on base but we didn't get them in

DECATUR - East Central's Warriors celebrate their wins by pla}ing James Brown's "I Feel Good" over the public address ;y tern at Chris Gay IV Field. It was Del Shannon's "Runaway" in the middle of the fourth inning that set the tone tond ay night as East 1issis:>ippi 's Lions soundly panked the Warriors, 13-0. The 19-12 Lions had just racked up five runs off only three hits in the top of the fourth to turn a 2-0 lead into a 7-0 runaway. Three walks and a pair of ECCC errors aided the big inning. Joe Wofford made it 3-0 with a bases-loaded fielder's choice. After Alex Mears and Wofford scored on a pair of throwing er– rors, Tom Slovick added an REI– single. Mike Deavers doubled to drive in the final run of the frame. EMCC had 14 hits in the game with each starter, except one, getting at least one. Five Lions had two hits each.

Scott Allen's two– run single did the most damage. ECCC led 3-o in the nightcap before Southwest tied it up with a pair of runs in the fifth. Each team added a run in the sixth, then went scoreless until Eric Davis doubled in courtesy runner Larod Odom with the winning run in the bottom of the 12th. Allen had singled to start the one– out rally. ECCC's Greg Perry's tied the game at 4-4 with a sacrifice fly that scored Joey Boykin in the sixth. ECCC's David Hubbard (5-2) allowed only one hit while strik– ing out four in four innings of relief to keep the Warriors in the game. A 1-2-3 double play in the ninth erased a bases-loaded one-out threat by the Bears. Boykin went 5-for-8 in the twin– bill, homering in each game to run his total to seven. He also drove in four runs. "He's beginning to swing the bat like he did early in the season," Clark said. " He's strong, he's a disciplined hitter, and he's settled into a groove. This was his night." Davis was 4-for-8 with a pair of doubles.

DECATUR - It took six hours and 25 minutes, but East Central and Southwest each gained a game in the race for the No. 2 spot in the MJCA South Division baseball race Tuesday. The teams split a doubleheader with Southwest taking the opener, 13-10, and ECCC claim– ing the nightcap, 5-4, in 12 innings. " I think we've reached the point where we shouldn't be haJr py to split," ECCC coach Jamie Clark said. "We really needed to sweep. We really wanted to sweep, but we just weren' t good enough to do it." A crowd that arrived mostly in shorts and short-sleeve shirts had jackets and blankets before the games were over. Both teams picked up a game on second-place Pearl River after the Wildcats were swept by Hinds, 3-2, 5-4. Southwest (14-14, 9-9) took the opener with four runs in the top of the seventh. A one-out ground ball that hit a water sprinkler head in front of ECCC shortstop Jimbo Patterson turned a poten– tial double-play ball into an inning-prolonging single. Donald Culberson (2-3) then gave up three walks and a wild pitch before Sean Meaux added a two-

ECCC sophomores post winnin mark

From staff reports DECATUR - The sophomore members of East Central Com– munity College's baseball team wanted to be remembered as they took the ECCC diamond for the last time Tuesday. A12-7, 5-4, sweep of South Divi– sion champion Gulf Coast in– sured the ECCC Class of 1990 that it will be remembered in a good light. It gave the team a final season record of 22-21-1 and a career mark of 42-40-1. The 22 wins set a school record, break– ing last season's total of 20. The consecutive winning seasons enables the Diamond War riors to leave as the school's only male athletes to exit with career winn– mg marks since the 1986-87 foot– ball teams went 12-9. A 12-12 mark was good for fourth place in the South Division and left ECCC with a 3-1 edge over Gulf Coast in the season's four meetings. "I thought it was a little bit of 3ustice," ECCC coach Jamie Clark said. "Our guys definitely work hard enough to be remembered as winners. But there's a lot more to it than baseball. Nine of the 14 sophomores will graduate next Friday and the others are close to graduating. "When those sophomores walked up the hill for the last time, they were happy." Neither win came easy. Gulf Coast (30-18, 15-7) led 6-0 after 31r.l innings in the opener before Scott Allen smashed a solo homer. The Warriors scored six runs ua the bottom of the fifth to take a 7·6lead. Scott Hines came off the bench to rip a double to give ECCC the one-run edge. After Gulf Coast drew even in the top of the sixth, Er ic Davis

Jamie Clark singled to drive in two ECCC runs. Athird run scored when the Bulldogs committed a throwing error on the play. Jamey Cham– pion added insurance with a two– run homer. Jeff Crocker (4-2) got the complete-game win. Gulf Coast led 3-1 through five innings in the nightcap. Another pinch-hit double by Hmes and a double from Davis tied the game at 3-3 in the sixth. A walk and a fielding error gave Gulf Coast a 4-3 lead in the top of the eighth. Fir<~t g3me GCCC.....................012 301 0- 7 II I ECCC....................

• I twinbill Warriors stand in third By Marty Stamper Sp:clal to The Star DECATUR- Standing pat and running out of games. "Tonight he got some help from some of the other guys." ECCC had 23 hits in the twinbill.

"Crocker continues to give us good pitching efforts," Clark ad– ded. "It seems like he's gotten better every time out over the last four weeks. I thought he had a real good fastball (clocked in the 80-84 mph range by a Chicago White Sox scout), but it was his breaking ball that r eally kept them in trouble throughout the game. " ECCC scored two runs in each of the first four innings, got four in the fifth, and ended the game with two in the sixth. Donald Culberson, Wendell Whitehead, and Clay Courville each had two hits in the nightcap. Whitehead and Steven Burleigh drove in two runs each. Whitehead was 3-for-4 with three RBI, while Burleigh went 2-for-4 with four RBI for the day. "I think you have to give Steven credit," Clark said. "He hasn't started a conference game this year. He caught two games today and threw out runners on two steal attempts. I thought he did a real good job of handling the pitchers." Burleigh got in the game in the first inning of the opener. replac-

That's the situation East Cen– tral's Warriors face after split– ting a Sout h Division doubleheader with Hinds Wednesday, taking the nightcap, 14-4, in six innings after losing the opener, 10-6. The split leaves theWarriors in third place two games behind No. 2 Pearl River, which split with Southwest. ECCC is 1o-10 in the division, 2o-19-1 overall. Pearl River is 13-9 in the division. Hinds fell to 8-12, 26-18. Only the top two teams advance to next weekend's state tournament. "We're very close to being rea ll y good enough to do something, but we're not quite there," ECCC coach Jamie Clark said. Joey Boykin's bat and Jeff Crocker's pitching enabled the :warriors to remain in the playoff picture and equal the school's r ecord for wins in a season (20 set in 1989). Boykin went 3-for-4, scored three runs and drove in four in the nightcap. Crocker (3-2) tossed a two-hitter. "He has been blazing hot as of late.," Clark said of Boykin.
