Devils win comes in pairsBy Larry Sullivan Mooresville High School’s varsity baseball team enjoyed its season-opening North Piedmont Conference outing in bunches late last week. The Blue Devils made a success of their earlier-than-ever conference debut, it coming in just the second game of the season overall, by producing runs in pairs on three different occasions and riding a stellar complete-game pitching performance from one of its college-bound staff members to ping-pong their way past host Carson High, 6-2. With the win, the Devils improved to the 2-0 mark overall, more importantly however getting off to that promising 1-0 start in league play to support their status as reigning NPC champs. “It felt good to get off to this kind of start in the conference,’’ assured Jeff Burchett, Mooresville’s dugout boss. “We’ve got more league games this year, so every one of them is important.” The NCP has grown by two more teams than just a year ago, forcing the early start and increasing the total number of circuit games to 18 by season’s end. For the Devils, they rode their pitching horse to the winning stable. Senior lefthander Aubrey Meadows, already signed and sealed to join the University of North Carolina at Charlotte pitching roster, worked the complete game to glove the win, his first in as many starts. He went all seven innings, allowing the two runs on nine hits while striking out nine. Meadows’ mound duties wound up being supported at the plate, as the guests tallied two runs each in three different at-bats to account for their scoring. The Devils plated a pair of runs each in the first, third and sixth innings to never trail and wind up as comfortable four-run winners. Meadows was also one of the ones aiding his cause at the plate as well. He whacked out three hits, one of them a double, to top the offensive chart. Both Nathan Abraham and Jon Crucitti belted a double each as one of their two hits apiece to aid a charge that conjured up five extra base hits overall. Johnny McElhany also banged out two hits in the cause. Aaron Meadows slammed a home run to lead the cast of players with a single base knock each. Dylan West also pitched in with a base hit to the effort. Weather permitting, Mooresville headed into this week with a trio of games of tap, two of them also taking place against fellow league foes. A scheduled non-league game at Cherryville tabled to take place Wednesday afternoon served to flank league outings at home against North Iredell and on the road at East Rowan in affairs all taking place within a four-day span.
