PAGE FOUR THE CLARION may 18, 1962 Tornadoes Close Season On Nine-Game Winning Streak, Defeat Mars Hill, Anderson Junior College BEST iN I SPORTS Baseballers Close With 10-4 Record BARNEY MclVIAHAN Brevard Finishes With 8-4 Record Brevard’s baseball team has just completed one of its most successful seasons. The Tornadoes finished the season riding the crest of a 9 game winning streak. This surge brought the team’s overall record to 10-4. In conference action they finished in a tie for second place with a record of 8-4. This year’s squad after a very slow start really came into its own in recent games. The win streak was phenominal when it is taken into consideration that Brevard’s pitching staff was only three deep. Charlie Cort, Doug Rogers, and Monty Matthews were the only hurlers to see action in a game this year. The hitting attack picked up game by game and at the sea son’s end the team batting average was a very respectable .281. Catcher Doug Scott, outfielders Perez and Wilson, and second- baseman Joe Forte were the regulars who finished the season over 300. Perez also led the team in home-runs with two and runs- batted-in with nineteen. Looking ahead to next season the team should continue its winning ways. Brevard will lose five players off this year’s squad via graduation in June. Danny Bost, Doug Scott, and Gene Holland are the Sophomores who played their final game, for Brevard against Anderson on May 14. Despite the losses a sound nucleus remains for Brevard to make a bid for the conference champion ship in the 1963 season. We Make 87.5% In an earlier issue of this paper, these writers established a list of school track records which we personally believed would be broken. All of these records were broken except for the 440 yd. dash, setting the percentage at 87.5. However, four records w^hich were not among our predictions were also broken. Below is a list of all the school track records which were broken this year. They are listed as. they presently stand. On May 14 Brevard closed its diamond season by defeating Anderson Junior College on the Brevard diamond in a rain short ened game by the score of 3-2. By winning, Brevard stretched its winning streak to 9 straight. The Tornadoes finished the sea son with an overall record of 10 wins against 4 losses. The game was called due to a downpour in the bottom of ;he seventh inning. The Tornadoes pushed across a single run in the third inning jnd 2 in the sixth. In the sixth frame the scoring came on a walk to Joe Forte, followed by singles off the bats of Doug Scott and Gene Holland, and an error to account for the two runs. Monty Matthews went the route on the hill for Brevard, giving up only three hits. He struck out 8 and walked none in posting his second victory of the year against one defeat.
