MONROEA campaign flier distributed

to some Union County voters is “intentionally misleading,” N.C. Senate candidate Fern Shubert said.

The flier pins Shubert as an in-effective senator during her pre-vious time in office, referencing the number of bills she backed that did not pass.

Her opponent, Tommy Tucker, whose campaign team paid for and mailed the fliers, maintains that the information is dead-on.

The flier reads:“In the General Assembly,

Fern Shubert sponsored or co-sponsored 100 bills. How many

passed? Z-E-R-O. Fern Shubert is ineffective. We can do better.”

“It’s a fact of record,” Tucker said.

Of all of Shubert’s bills, he said, 109 of them did not pass.

According to the N.C. General Assembly Web site, Shubert sponsored or co-sponsored 130 bills. Of those, 21 are marked as passed.

“Those are not all the ones that made it into law,” she said.

C o m p a n i o n bills, identical bills introduced in both the N.C. House and Sen-ate, might count as passing only in the House, she said, but she still

advocated for the causes they ref-

BREAK-INSomeone broke into the Sub

Stop at 107 E. Jefferson Street Thursday night.

At approximately 11:11 p.m., the restaurant’s front glass door was broken and $25 was taken from the register.

“I am concerned about the security now,” Conroy Parchment, the store’s owner said.

He is now looking into ways to make his business more secure, he said. The break in triggered the restaurant alarm.

“I would suggest all busi-nesses have alarms,” Lt. T.J. Goforth of the Monroe Police Department, said.

The Sub Stop is open from 7:30 a.m.- 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.- 8 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m.-6 p.m. on Sunday.

Tucker fliers draw Shubert fire

Boy, 7, killed at bus stop

Dwayne Thomas, left, describes to Trooper J.L. Sanders his efforts to avoid striking a seven-year-old boy as he crossed Medlin Road.

BY JASON deBRUYNStaff Writer

MONROEA 7-year-old boy was killed Fri-

day morning after he was hit by a car and flung 78 feet.

The boy, Jonathan Alexander Beegle, was crossing Medlin Road at 6:50 a.m. Friday toward a school bus when a 2002 Dodge Caravan hit him. The school bus

had its yellow lights flashing, but the red lights were not on, ac-cording to N.C. Highway Patrol 1st Sgt. Mark Leach.

He was listed in “critical” condition at Carolinas Medical Center as of 12:15 p.m., but later attempts to confirm the boy’s condition in the afternoon were unsuccessful.

Late Friday night the State

HIghway Patrol confirmed that the boy had been pronounced dead.

Dwayne Thomas, driver of the Dodge, skidded for about 35 feet before he hit Beegle. Leach said it appeared Thomas tried to veer to the side of the road but hit Beegle with the front left side of his car; he noted the Dodge did not have anti-lock brakes. Highway Patrol

continued the investigation Fri-day, but Leach said “charges are not likely. ... It does not look like speed was a factor.”

The speed limit in that section is 55 miles per hour.

“I thought the bus was still driving,” Thomas said. “I tried to

helm of HealthQuest, a nonprofit that provides prescription medications to locals without drug coverage.

It’s been a month since she replaced Breanne Marshburn, who took a teaching position at Stan-

ify for prescription assis-tance don’t know about

HealthQuest, Horne said, and it’s her job to help spread the word.

“The board considered many well-qualified ap-plicants and selected Mrs. Horne based on her past experience and educa-tion,” Board of Directors chair Bob Curry said in a press release. “We look forward to HealthQuest’s continued growth and the

addition of more services to the community under Mrs. Horne’s leadership.”

Horne, a Wadesboro resident, received her undergraduate degree in health policy from the University of North Caro-lina at Chapel Hill. She holds a master’s in public administration from Ap-palachian State Univer-sity.

Horne previously worked at Wingate Uni-versity in alumni develop-ment and has two daugh-ters, 1 and 6.

UNIONVILLEHeads up base running by Piedmont High’s

Will Dorton and a key hit from Scott McClain is what it took to beat Cuthbertson, 5-4, in ex-tra innings Friday night.

With one out in the bottom of the ninth, Dor-ton beat out an infield throw from third with a gutsy headfirst slide to get on, and then took second thanks to a poorly thrown ball from third after Tyler Edwards lined out.

“I was getting home, I didn’t care what it took,” Dorton said after scor-ing the winning run. “I knew when I came up that I had to get on anyway I could and I did.”

Piedmont, now 13-2 in the Rocky River Conference and 15-5 overall, is in sole position of second place. Cuthbertson dropped to 12-3 in RRC play and 16-3 overall.

Junior Brad Elwood was the starter and Colby Barnette got the win in relief.

“Brad pitched an excellent game and I’m sorry he couldn’t get the win,” Piedmont coach Milt Flow said. “Colby came in (in the ninth) and got himself into trouble and worked his way out of it and that’s big for a freshman pitcher.”

In the ninth, freshman Drake Zupcic laid down a textbook bunt to third to get on with one out. JD Long then doubled to left, but the Panthers got the next two batters on ground outs to second baseman Lance Gower and shortstop Will Ray to end the threat.

INDIAN TRAILThe annual Union County

track and field meet cranks up this morning at Porter Ridge High starting at 9:00, with the field of schools expanding to 11 for the first time.

Marvin Ridge High swept the boys and girls county meet in 2009, with 10 schools partici-pating. First-year Cuthbertson pushes the field to a record 11 today.

The top two scorers in last year’s county meet are both back, including Monroe soph-omore Janieyah Collins (24 points) and Weddington se-nior Breahna Morrison (23.5), who won the 200- and 400-me-ter dashes a year ago to help the Warriors place second. While the MR girls edge WHS (122-100), Marvin Ridge’s boys cruised with 182.5 points. Sec-ond-place Monroe scored 79.5 points.

The Mavericks will have to

replace the top three boys scor-ers at last year’s county meet. Diego Lawrence (20 points) and David McCuiston (20 points) graduated, while Torri Tillman (18 points) transferred.

Host Porter Ridge placed fourth at the county meet among boys last year. The Pi-rates will be hoping for big points from sprinter Javonte

Truesdale, who enters with the county’s best time in the 200 (22.44). Truesdale will also help with the relays. The Pi-rates ranks first in UC in the 4x400 (3:33.3) and second in the 4x100 and 4x200.

Piedmont’s boys, coming off a fifth-place finish at the 2009 UC meet, are led by senior Matt Corum, who has the county’s top performance in the high jump (6-4.25) and ranks third in the triple jump (37-11).

mARVINNo girls soccer team in Union County plays

Marvin Ridge tougher than Porter Ridge.The Pirates gave the state’s top-ranked 3A

team a scare on Friday, but the Mavericks emerged with a 1-0 home win in what has de-veloped into an intense rivalry.

Senior Kaitlyn Sulser saved the day on Marvin Ridge’s senior day, scoring from 20 yards out on a free kick. “She was able to see a spot on the back of the post and sneak it into the side netting,” said Marvin Ridge

coach Ray Fumo of Sulser’s goal.A third-year school, Marvin Ridge has

played Porter Ridge six times in soccer — winning four and tying twice. Fumo said five of the six matches have been decided by one goal or less. “We are two very evenly-matched programs and they come ready to play and work very, very hard out there,” Fumo said of the Pirates. “It was a playoff atmosphere out there. Their defense did a great job. Our

defense held strong and was able to really lock down on them and not offer too many good chances.”

The Mavs (14-0, 6-0 in South-ern Carolina Conference) at-tempted 17 shots compared to two for PR (11-4-1, 3-3).

“We stayed on their end most of the night,” Fumo said. “You have to give their defense a lot of credit. I was pleased with our team for finding a way to win such a hard-fought, close match.”

WHO’S NEWSHarvick unsure about his future

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — Kevin Harvick will have a new sponsor for sure next season. He could have a

new team.Harvick knows

wherever he lands, he’d like to stick with Chevrolet.

Harvick’s future with Richard Childress Racing appeared to take a huge a hit after Shell

Oil Company’s decision to transfer its sponsorship from Harvick to Kurt Busch starting next season. Harvick said he’s unsure where he’ll drive next year, but has had ongoing conversations with Childress.

“I don’t think there’s anything pressing time-wise for anybody, whether it’s the team at RCR or myself,” Harvick said Friday at Tal-ladega Superspeedway.

Harvick is a free agent at the end of this season, and became the most-watched driver after Kasey Kahne announced last week he had signed a deal to drive for Hendrick Motorsports in 2012. Kahne must still find a seat for next season.

Harvick, fourth in the points standings, said it’s a “fair state-ment” he’ll be in Chevrolets next season. RCR, Stewart-Haas Racing, Earnhardt Ganassi Racing and Hen-drick Motorsports all run Chevrolets.

“Right now, I’m driving the 29 car and we’ll see,” Harvick said. “I don’t see where anything is going. I know that Richard and I have had a lot of conversations over the last three months.”

Harvick said he has a “great relationship” with Childress and contract talks are continuing as they normally would this time of the year.

Cavs nip EL, 1-0WAXHAW — Cuthbertson High,

ranked eighth in the state among 2A schools despite being a first-year school with no senior class, defeated East Lincoln 1-0 to improve to 12-3-1 on the season Friday.

Leah Drawdy scored the lone goal off an assist from Jessica Wallace.

Jane Sosinski had four saves in goal for the Cavaliers, who will be at home against Monroe Monday starting at 6 p.m.

CATA ties 4A schoolCHARLOTTE — Central Acad-

emy, a 1A school, played to a 1-1 tie against 4A Olympic Friday with Laura Courtney scoring the Cou-gars’ goal off an assist from Peppy Godinez.

Lindsey Kurtz had four saves in goal for the Cougars, who are now 10-5-1 overall.

The Cougars play at home Monday against Union Academy at 4:30 p.m.

Mavs improve to 18-1INDIAN TRAIL — Marvin Ridge

High’s softball team got back to its winning ways with a 12-0 victory over Sun Valley in five innings on Friday.

The Mavericks, who were coming off a loss to Piedmont, improved to 18-1.

Claudia Spinelli went 3-for-3 with a triple, Jordan Lugibihl had a home run and Madison Arroyo contirbuted a triple and two RBI.

Peyton Jordan pitched the first three innings for the win, striking out six, and Caitlin Kurtz cleaned up in the final two innings. She struck out six to end the game.

The Mavs have two meetings with Porter Ridge next week, with the first being at Porter Ridge Tuesday and the second at Marvin Thursday. Both games start at 4:30 p.m.

INDIAN TRAILPlayoff-bound Parkwood

High ran its win streak to six games with an 18-7 victory at Porter Ridge on Friday.

The Rebels started out 0-5 in the Southern Caro-lina Conference, but won their last five to finish 5-5 in league play. Parkwood has won nine of its last 11 to improve to 11-9 overall.

Parkwood left no doubt after the top of the first in-ning, sending 13 batters to the plate to start the game

and scoring all they needed by crossing the plate nine times in the inning and promptly chasing starting pitcher Brent Thomas from the mound.

Catcher Jacob Rand started the inning with a single, on his way to a 4-for-5 day with two doubles, a walk, two RBI, three steals and four runs scored.

Craig Brooks singled to left field with one out to put runners on first and third and then Preston Helms was hit by a pitch to load the bases.

Corey Melton then brought in Rand, followed by a RBI single by Morgan Hall to score Brooks.

Chad McWhorter then brought in Helms and Melton with a two-RBI sin-gle to center field.

Hall, McWhorter, Dillon Durham and Noah Maynor all scored, bringing Rand back to the plate. This time he drew a walk with the bases loaded for an RBI, and Craig Brooks followed with his second hit of the inning — a two-RBI double.

INDIAN TRAILThe Marvin Ridge Mav-

ericks will share the 2010 Southern Carolina Confer-ence baseball title with Wed-dington after defeating Sun Valley 11-5 Friday night.

Marvin struck first with Joey Thomson singling home Byron Haag, who reached on an error in the top to the first inning. The Mavericks sent nine batters to the plate and pushed the lead to 4-0.

Marvin Ridge added two more runs in the top of the third. An RBI double from Matt Corgan and an RBI single by Brett Thompson pushed the lead to 6-0.

Sun Valley answered in the bottom of the third inning behind a two-RBI single from Mike Sluja to cut the lead to 6-2. Sun Valley cut into the lead again in the bottom of the fifth after Maverick start-ing pitcher Tyler Chadwick was pulled with one out for lefty Brian Peart.

With the bases loaded after a error and two walks, Zach Wagner hit a fly ball to right field which was misplayed and resulted in Sun Valley plating two runs.

MavericksContinued from Page 1B

Steven Blythe knocked in Ryan Smith to cut the lead to 6-5 after five innings.

“The guys fought hard tonight,” said MR coach Mark Mennitt. “We had a chance to keep ‘the belt’ and we did. I am so happy for these kids. We knew we had to win two games this week to stay

atop the conference.”The Mavericks have won at least a

share of the conference title in each of its first three years as a school.

MR broke the game open in the top of the seventh, with JC Howze doubling to score two. Hunter Hiers added a solo homer to stretch the lead to 11-6.

Chadwick, a sophomore, got the win for the Mavs, improving his record to 6-1 on the season. Chris Timberlake took the loss for Sun Valley.

Marvin Ridge, coming off Thursday’s 8-7 loss to Charlotte Country Day, im-proved to 15-5 overall and 8-2 in the con-ference. Sun Valley dropped to 15-9 and 5-5 in the conference.

Marvin Ridge hosts Hickory Ridge Monday.

The South Carolina Conference tour-nament will be played the week of May 3, with the first round at the higher seed and the semifinals and finals being held at Sun Valley.

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Paul Silas remembers how strange and uncomfortable it was in 2002 when he coached an un-wanted team in a city that had turned its back on the NBA.

Silas looked into the stands for the opening game of the playoffs and saw 9,505 fans in the 23,799-seat Charlotte Coliseum. The final game — a second-round playoff loss to New Jersey — drew less than 14,000. Days later, the Hornets were officially property of New Orleans.

“It was kind of dishearten-ing and disconcerting because we did have a good team,” Si-las recalled Friday. “It was very difficult. It was really bad at that particular point.”

Eight years later, a new team with a different name and colors owned by favorite son Michael Jordan will play in front of a full house in a new downtown arena on Sat-urday, Charlotte’s first taste of the playoffs since the Hornets’ ugly exit.

And the six-year-old Bob-cats need all the support they can get down 2-0 to powerful Orlando in their best-of-seven series.

“It’s going to be crazy,” Bob-cats guard Raymond Felton said. “It’s something the city of Charlotte has been waiting on.”

But will the shift in venue matter? The Bobcats have looked overmatched for much of the first two games in Or-lando.

Dwight Howard’s foul trou-ble and a less-than-stellar of-fense haven’t mattered. The Magic have smothered Char-lotte with defense and just enough 3-pointers, show-ing all the confi-dence of a team that made it to the finals last season.

Not even the prospect of Jor-dan’s imposing, referee-baiting presence at the end of the Bobcats’ bench for Game 3 seems to bother the Magic and feisty coach Stan Van Gundy.

“Come on, Michael Jordan hasn’t had time to do anything as an owner,” Van Gundy said when asked of his impact since buying the team. “I un-derstand we’re all supposed to bow down at the alter of Mi-chael Jordan, but come now. Not in this case. He’s been the owner for what, a month?”

For his part, Jordan is a little cranky, too. He watched his new $275 million toy fall behind 24-12 in Game 1 and 13-3 three nights later. Coach Larry Brown said his team, which dropped to 13-30 on the

road this season, hasn’t ad-justed to the increased inten-sity of the playoffs.

“I even got a call from my owner last night during the Chicago game. telling me, ’Are you watching this? Do you see how hard they’re playing?”’ Brown said of Jordan. “And it

was obvious to me he was right.”

So what to do for a team that’s led for all of 93 seconds in two games? Brown insists the Bobcats can’t change their drive-first, shun-3-pointers style

that produced 44 wins and the team’s first playoff berth — even with the NBA’s defensive player of the year clogging the middle.

“Even though Dwight How-ard is there, or Shaq is there, we drive the ball,” Brown said. “We can’t all of a sudden change who we are.”

Charlotte also needs Ste-phen Jackson to cut down on his turnovers (12 in two games), get All-Star Gerald Wallace more involved, Felton and Boris Diaw out of their funks, and more than just a collection of fouls from cen-ters Tyson Chandler, Nazr Mohammed and Theo Ratliff.

“Tyson playing 12-14 min-utes and Theo and Nazr get-

ting in foul trouble in war-mups, that’s not helping,” Brown said.

The Magic have been even more upset with the number of fouls in the series, specifi-cally on Howard. Van Gundy and Matt Barnes were each fined $35,000 for criticizing the officials after Orlando’s 92-77 win on Wednesday.

Howard has been held to 20 points and 57 minutes in the two games, but Rashard Lew-is (13 of 23 from the field) and Mickael Pietrus (7 of 11 from 3-point range) have made up the difference.

Lewis expects to play Satur-day afternoon despite a sore left ankle, but the Magic know they’ll have to play better to take a 3-0 lead.

Orlando has allowed fourth-quarter comebacks in each of the first two games to get Charlotte within striking distance. And no team had a wider home-road record dis-crepancy than the Bobcats, who went 31-10 at Time War-ner Cable Arena during the regular season.

“We know it’s going to be crazy. The place is going to be rocking there,” Howard said. “We know they’re going to be very hyped, they’re going to come out with a lot of energy. We just have to weather the storm and play basketball.”

TrackContinued from Page 1B

Corum helped the Panthers win a four-team meet at home on Wednesday by winning both of those events. Piedmont had 90.3 points, beating out Sun Valley (80), Parkwood (54.3) and Anson (35.3).

Parkwood junior Taliqua Medley had her best showing of the year in the 100m hurdles on Wednesday,

finishing in 16.4 — which ranks second in UC behind Monroe’s Collins (15.94).

Parkwood senior Lyndsie White goes in favored to repeat as county champion in the pole vault. White cleared 8-foot-6 at last year’s event, and went on to place fifth at the 3A state meet by going 9-0.

White won the pole vault at the Providence Girls Only Challenge track meet on Thursday, among a field of 20 teams.

White won the meet by clearing

9-6.Last year’s state champion was

Ashleigh Culpepper, who went 10-0 as a sophomore for Franklin High.

Other returning county cham-pions include: Collins (100m, 100m hurdles) and Issac Blakeney (tri-ple jump) of Monroe, Morrison and Justin Neville (300m hurdles) of Weddington, Chris Colo (3,200) and Andrea Jones (triple jump) of Marvin Ridge and Marcus Leak (high jump) of Parkwood.

RebelsContinued from Page 1B

The Pirates (5-10, 2-8 SCC) re-sponded with four runs in the sec-ond inning, sending all nine batters to the plate.

Ryan Wernli led off with a single, followed by a single by Kyle McMa-han and then a walk to Max Moody to load the bases.

Chase Devonde brought in Wer-nli with a sac fly to center and Mc-Mahan and Moody each took home plate on steals.

Korey Smith got on base with a single, and was brought home on a RBI single by Tyler Kiser that cut the lead to 9-4.

Parkwood added a run in the third inning with Rand scoring from third on a wild pitch with two outs to make it 10-4.

Porter Ridge quickly picked that run back up in the bottom of the in-ning, with McMahan scoring from third on a single by Moody.

The Rebels’ Corey Melton made up for that with a solo home run to left center field with one out in the fourth inning, then Hall got on with a walk and moved to third on a sin-gle by McWhorter. Hall scored on the RBI fielder’s choice by Durham.

Parkwood was able to push the lead to 11 runs with a four-run fifth inning.

Rand led off with a single, and he

stole second and third base before scoring on a passed ball strikeout of Craig Brooks, who made it to first base on the dropped third strike.

Helms was hit by a pitch, and came home behind Brooks on a dou-ble to center by Hall.

Porter Ridge kept the game alive in the bottom of the fifth with Alex Gajewski and Wernli scoring. But that was all for the Pirates, as the Rebels added two more in the sev-enth with two outs, which included an RBI double by Rand.

“I feel good about our team right now,” said Rebels coach Jimmy Co-chran. “We kind of cleaned up some of the mistakes we were making in the beginning of the season. We’re starting to play up to our potential.

“Our potential is starting to turn into performance for us, which we’ve been talking about for a while.

We’re pitching well, we’re swing-ing the bats well and we’re playing enough defense to get us through the ball games.”

Craig Brooks finished 2-for-5 with a walk three RBI and two runs scored; Helms scored twice; Melton was 2-for-5 with a homer, two RBI and two runs; Hall finished 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and three runs; McWhorter went 3-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored; Durham scored twice and Maynor scored twice.

Parkwood has three non-confer-ence games on the road to end the regular season, starting with South Meck on Monday.

Porter Ridge will face Grace Academy Tuesday at home before playing a doubleheader at Hard-ing Wednesday to end the regular season.

Panthers draft Clausen, snatch Edwards in thirdCHARLOTTE (AP) — Caro-

lina Panthers general manager Marty Hurney spent much of Friday trying to move up in the draft to take Jimmy Clausen, a day after the Notre Dame quar-terback was a surprising first-round snub.

Hurney couldn’t strike a deal, however, and when Arizona trad-ed up to the 47th slot — one pick ahead of the Panthers — Hurney acknowledged he was crushed, sure the Cardinals were going to take him.

“I could lie, but I won’t,” Hur-ney said.

Only the Cardinals passed on Clausen, too. It didn’t take Hur-ney long to pounce — shaking up Carolina’s newly shuffled quar-terback depth chart.

“You always say anything can happen,” Hurney said, smiling. “Wow, it happened. ... We think he’s an excellent quarterback and we feel extremely fortunate to get a quarterback of his abil-ity with the 48th pick.”

Hurney wasn’t done in a wild draft night for the Panthers.

They addressed another need in the third round, taking receiv-er Brandon LaFell of LSU. Then the Panthers gambled by trading next year’s second-round pick to New England for an extra third-round choice.

Carolina then promptly took one of this area’s most decorated college play-ers, Appalachian State quarterback Armanti Edwards, whom the Pan-thers project as a receiv-er and return man.

“We thought it was as good day,” Hurney said.

Despite not having a first-round pick, Caro-lina feels it got a high first-round talent and perhaps immediate competition for newly minted starting QB Matt Moore.

The 6-foot-3, 222-pound Claus-en was rated as a first-round pick — perhaps even in the top 10 — by many analysts. But he wasn’t selected on Thursday, per-haps because of concerns about his arm strength and leadership

abilities.Carolina didn’t hesitate, taking

him ahead of his college team-mate, Golden Tate, and other receiver prospects. The Panthers also decided to wait on address-ing holes on the defensive line.

“He told me he was trying to get up to the 33rd pick,” Clausen said. “He was just really excited to have me on the team. I told him I can’t wait to get there and go to work.”

Clausen, who threw 60 touchdowns and 27 inter-ceptions with the Fight-ing Irish but was just 16-18 as a starter, will join a thin quarterback unit

with Carolina. The Panthers released longtime starter Jake Delhomme last month. Moore has started eight NFL games and Hunter Cantwell none.

Clausen will also get a pretty good target to throw to in four-time Pro Bowl receiver Steve Smith.

“I can’t wait,” Clausen said. “Trying to get his phone number

right now so I can call him.”Hurney wouldn’t say if Claus-

en would immediately compete for the starting job, but lauded his experience playing in a pro-style offense similar to Caro-lina’s. Fox and former Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis are close friends.

“I think it’s going to help me tremendously, being in coach Weis’ system,” Clausen said. “Coach Fox told me he said it was the same exact system I’ve played in the last three years.”

A beaming Hurney said Claus-en was by far the highest-ranked player left on their draft board, and had no concerns about lin-gering personality issues.

“The people you talked to at Notre Dame, the people that have been around him, I think would tell you that they don’t think some of those things are fair,” Hurney said.

Whether Moore or Clausen is the quarterback next season, the Panthers found another target with the 78th pick.

The 6-foot-2, 211-pound LaFell

is a big and strong receiver who could complement the small and speedy Steve Smith. Carolina is without a No. 2 receiver after deciding not to re-sign veteran Muhsin Muhammad.

The 5-foot-11, 182-pound Ed-wards was an intriguing pick. Hurney said he’ll start out as a receiver and may compete for the kick return job.

“I’m not disappointed at all,” Edwards said on not being draft-ed as a quarterback. “I’m willing to play any position they need me to.”

Edwards, the only player in NCAA Division I history to pass for more than 10,000 yards and rush for at least 4,000, led Appa-lachian State to a stunning win over Michigan in 2007 and two FCS national titles.

“You get a feeling about him that he’s just got something, that he’s going to be a very good play-er,” Hurney said.

Carolina has six picks on the final day of the draft today, in-cluding a fourth-rounder and three sixth-round choices.

CLAUSEN

PanthersContinued from Page 1B

Elwood, who pitched eight innings and struck out 12, got out of a jam in the first. With run-ners on first and second with one out, Elwood got cleanup hitter John Mangum to fly to right and caught Preston Morrison looking.

Gower got his team out front early with a solo homer to deep right on the first offering from starting pitcher Cameron Tekker.

In the same inning, with Elwood on first thanks to a free pass, Barnette doubled off the

left-field fence to drive in the second run.

Cuthbertson cut the lead to one in the second when Zupcic singled to left to score Austin Pierce, who reached first on an infield error.

The Cavaliers tied it at two in the third when Mangum hom-ered to left with two out.

With two on and two out in the third, Cuthbertson ended a Piedmont threat when Long

made an impressive defensive play at short to get the force out at second.

Elwood got into trouble in the fourth by walk-ing three straight batters. With two outs and the bases loaded, Tekker singled to left and the Cavaliers went up, 4-2.

“That was Brad’s only hiccup of the night,” Flow said. “What mattered most is his ability to keep (Peter) Hendel from getting on base.”

In addition to walking Hendel twice, Elwood struck him out twice.

Cuthbertson replaced Tekker in the fifth with Morrison after he walked Gower and Elwood doubled to right. Kendall Hooks sacrificed to second to score Gower and Patric King sacri-ficed to short to score Elwood to tie it.

“This was just a well played game all around and a tough loss for us,” Cuthbertson coach Travis Little said.

NOTE: Hendel, a junior, was offered a base-ball scholarship by Division I Western Caroli-na University on Thursday night, according to Little. Hendel is the first athlete at the first-year school to get an athletic scholarship offer.
