Th>’ Elon Christian baseballers
turned back the Pfeiffer Falcons 3
to 1 here on May 4th and climbed
into the top spot in the Carolinas
Conference standings. The victory
over second-place Pfeiffer moved
Elon up one notch, and High Point
gave a helping hand by knocking
off first-place Atlantic Christian to
elevate Elon to the leadership.
The victory over the Falcons,
which came on a fine 5-hit pitching
job by southpaw Herbie Johnson,
was Elon's sixth consecutive Con
ference win and the Christians' fif
teenth victory in seventeen starts.
After holding only a 4-5 loop record
as late as April 23rd. the Christian
nine climbed from .seventh to first
in exactly twelve days.
Two walks and a steal of home
by Herbie Johnson gave Elon her;
first run against Pfeiffer in the
third, and the score that proved to
liiigton, and David Andes, of Klo
