The High Point Panthers used
four unearned runs to edge the
Elon Christians 4 to 3 in a Caro-
linas Conference baseball game
here Tuesday afternoon, April 30th.
It was the second time this season
that the Panthers had nosed the
Christians by a single run.
The High Point outfit plated a
single run on a wild pitch in the
third, but Danny Hall hammered a
solo homer over the left field wall
in the bottom of the same inning to
tie the count, and Elon went on to
score single runs in both the fourth
and fifth racks to grab a 3 to 1
edge.
An Elon error gave the Pointers
another marker in the fifth, and
then in the eighth another infield
error enabled two Panther nin^ t
race home with th'' tyin>; and .v.l
ning runs. The Christians I'nl 'i .i
on third with one out in th? bottonii
of the ninth but failed to i)lalo the
tying counter. |
Uanny Hail paced Elon with a
homer and single, while Phil Cheek
contributed a pair of singles to the
Christian attack. Bob Harris,
Panther center fielder, led the
Panthers with four singles in five
tries.

Tourney Win
The Christian baseball squad, aft
er finishing third in regular .seo.sun
play in the Carolinas Conference,
could manage only one win in three
starts in the first annual Carolinas
Conference toiirnament, which was
held at Lexington on May iKh. 10th
and 11th, and this gave them the
third spot in the loop's first dia
mond titular meet, which was won
by the Heiffer Falcons.
The Christians o|)ened the tourna
ment play with a hard-hitting 11 to
2 victory over the Catawba Indians
on Thursday afternoon. May 9th, but
they were victims of a rampaging
crew of I*feiffcr Falcons in a sec
ond-round game on Friday, May
10th. Then, playing in a semi-final
battle, the Elon nine dropiH?d a lop
sided 14 to 6 decision to the
tawba Indians on Saturday after
noon. May 11th. Pfeiffer top|»d Ca

11 to 2 in the first round action
in the tournament, with Christian
batters pounding three Indian hurl-
ers for a total of seventeen hits
during the fray. Every Elon batter
hit safely at least once, and six of
them had two hits, with Pete Oook
leading the assault with three safe
ties in five trips.
Lefty Everett, Elon’s big sopho
more mound star, worked a master
ful game on the hillock for the
Christians. He allowed two hits in
the second and fourth, with Ca
tawba gelling one run each time,
but he silenced the Indian hats the
rest of the way, fanning seven while
walking two, allowing six hits.
