The Fighting Christians hit one o£
the high marks of their 1967 baseball
campaign when they drubbed the
Newberry Indians in both ends of a
double bill on the Newberry Field
on Saturday, April 22nd, winning
both games by identical 6 to 5 scores.
The Christians scored four runs
in the second inning of the first game
and then plated another pair of runs
in the fourth to assure the victory.
Paul Amundsen got credit for the
win for Elon.
Rick Coble, Taylor Duggins and
Dempsey Herring each got two hits
to pace the Elon attack in the first
game, and Duggins came back with
three safeties in the nightcap battle
to lead Elon to another 6 to 5 victory.

Panther Nine
Toppl es Elon
By 8-2 Score
The Elon Christans caught Forrest
Dover, High Point mound ace, on one
of his hot days, and the Panther
chunker struck out 15 of the Elon
batters and let the Christians down
with five scattered hits as he tossed
High Point to an 8 to 2 triumph in
a battle at High Point on April 24th.
Dover blanked the Christians in
the first six innings, although they
got four of their five hits during
that time. Elon’s two scores came
in the seventh on a single hit.
The Panthers plated singleton runs
in both the second and third, with
the second score coming on a solo
homer by Nick Perlozzo, but they
got to Elon’s Ed Kirchgessner for four
markers in a big fifth inning rally
and later added two scores in the
sixth and one in the seventh for the
8-2 win.

Chris Pecora (left) and Ed Kirchgessner (right), are two of Elon s fresh
man pitchers who have been real workhorses for Coach Jerry Drake this
spring. Pecora, a stocky 195-pounder from East Islip, N. Y„ has appeared
in exactly half of Elon’s first twenty-two games, and his three wins represent
half the team’s victories. Kirchgessner, a 210-pounder from Succasunna, N.
J., has appeared in eight games, and both Pecora and Kirchgessner have
pitched more than forty innings either as starters or in relief. Pecora has al
lowed only 11 earned runs, while Kirchgessner is close behind with 15 earn
ed runs. Both boys have proven tough for opposing batters, with Pecora
having struck out 35, while Kirchgessner has fanned 28 enemy hitters.

Marshall Montgomery, Elon center-
fielder, hammered a tremendous 3-
run homer in the sixth rack to power
the Fighting Christian baseballers to
a 3 to 2 victory over the Campbell
College Camels at Campbell on April
25th.
The victory, which was Elon’s
sixth in twenty-two starts for the sea
son, was the second of the year over
the Camels, for the Christians had
also turned back the Camels by a
single run in an extra-inning contest
on the Elon field.
Chris Pecora, Christian freshman,
went the route on the mound and
gained the nod over Campbell’s Bill
Young in a pitching duel. Both hurl
ers allowed only four hits during the
fray.
Elon was down by a 1-0 count in
the sixth when Rick Coble opened
with a single, and Dempsey Herring
advanced him with a single sacrifice.
Mike Spillane grounded out, and
then Danny Pendry drew an inten
tional walk. This set the stage for
Montgomery’s 380-foot blast over the
left field wall.
The line score:

Elon (Jolf Team
Has 6-3-2 Mark
The Elon golfers, after dropping
decisions to both Appalachian and
Atlantic Christian within a two-day
span last week, now show a record
of six wins, three losses and two
ties for the season. All matches have
been with Carolinas Conference foes
and count in Conference standings.
The Christians, who were to face
High Point away yesterday in the
only match this week, will close out
by meeting Atlantic Christian and Ca
tawba on the road next week. The
season closes with the annual Caro
linas Conference tournament at Boone
on May 15th and I6th.
Everything should be practiced in
moderation, including moderation.
Hard work is an accumulation of
the things you did not do when you
should have.
