It was Elon s second win of the lear over the Pirates and the second time Gil Watts had hand cuffed the East Carolina batters. In so doing he posted his seventh win against a single loss in the Conference and gave Klon a team nark of 12-3 in Conference play. That 12-3 mark assured that he Christians could not do worse than a tie in the loop, for Ca- 'awba needed to win two rained- . jp battles and Elon to lose a i rained-out battle with Atlantic Christian for the Indians to tie. V Catawba loss in either game T an Elon win over the Bulldogs would lock up the title. Larry Bulla, Don Lichok, Bud- ly Montgomery and 6il Watts all lit twice to lead the Elon attack igainst the Pirates. No Pirate vas able to hit twice.

The battle produced almost ev erything in the way of ragged and erratic play, with nine walks, four hit batsmen and a combiilet total of twelve errors figuring ii« the scoring as the Christians and Panthers battled right down to the wire. The Panthers had turn ed back Elon 11 to 4 in an equally ragged contest in early season. The Christians were away on top with a single run in the first on a double, a sacrifice and an infield out, but High Point knot ted it in the second with a hit batsman, an infield out and a sin gle. Elon rebounded with four In the third on a walk, three er rors and a single hit, but High Point got two of them back on a single hit. So it went until the bottom of the ninth when High Point ral lied to come from behind, scoring two runs to knot the count at 7-all. Only a quick rescue act by A1 Lovelace halted the rally at that point. The lanky freshman entered the game with bases loaded and fannel Bill Formydu- val to end the rally. Lovelace went on to retire High Point in order in the tenth and eleventh, but Bob Pharr dupli cated for the Panthers. Then came Elon’s winning rally in the twelfth, with singles by Buddy Montgom ery, Buddy Way, Bobby Sharpe and A1 Lovelace combined with an error for five counters. Sharpe was the only Hon batter to hit •wice. Score by innings: r h e Elon .., 104 010 Oil 005—12 9 8 H. Point 012 200 002 000— 7 9 6 Henderson, Lovelace and Sharpe; Pharr and Beasley.
