Curtis Johnson sees it as just the law of averages catch- ing up for the Sumter P-15's American Legion baseball team, but in a very, very good way. After scuffling for most of the season and even into the Palmetto Invitational tourna- ment at Riley Park over the weekend, Sumter went through its best stretch of the season with three victories on Saturday and Sunday. "I think it was just a matter of things going our way for the first time," said Johnson, whose squad finds itself 13-7 on the season after going 4-1 in the tournament. "Things just haven't been going our way, but it's not from a lack of ef- fort on our team's part. They've been working their tails off, and I think we just fi- nally had some good things happen." It started with a 3-run rally in the bottom of the sixth in- ning for a 9-7 triumph over Pitt County, North Carolina, on Saturday morning.
