Baseball Team in First
Place
The Guilford College Base
ball team won two very im
portant Carolinas Conference
contests this past week and
took an early lead in the race
for the Carolinas Conference
1977 regular season crown.
With a 2-0 record in the con
ference the Quakers also ran
their overall record to 9-6.
The two conference
wins were not easy for the
Quakers, as they had to go
into extra innings in both con
tests. On Tuesday the Quakers
went 14 innings with Catawba
College before they were able
to pull it out 4-3. The win
came as Gary Reynolds led
off the bottom of the 14th
with a single and then Bruce
Baden came to bat and hit
a double to drive in Reynolds
for the winning run. Jerry
Broome was the starting
pitcher for the Quakers and
went nine innings before May
nard pulled him for reliever
Brad Haines. Haines went
three innings for the Quakers
before being replaced with
Andy Howerton. Howerton
pitched to four batters and
then the Quakers won the
game in the 14th inning to
give Howerton his first win
of the year.

The next day against
Atlantic Christian College the
Quakers proved that you are
never out until the final out
of the game. Down 6-3 going
into the bottom of the ninth
inning, the Quakers rallied for
three runs to go into extra
innings. The Bulldogs rallied
for four runs in the top of
the tenth to go ahead 10-6.
Still, Guilford did not give up.
With the score 10-9 and Pella
Stokes on third and Jeff Kirtz
on first Gary Reynolds hit a
1 -0 pitch into the trees behind
the 360 sign on the Quaker
fence to give Guilford a 12-10
win.
The next day against St.
Lawrence the Quakers just
couldn't get things going as
they fell to the Saints 9-7.
After trailing 9-0, the Quakers
tried to jump back on top as
they picked up three runs in
the seventh and four runs in
the eighth.
Marty Block homered to
start things off in the eighth
but the Quaker miracle could
not happen for a third day.
Although Guilford had the
bases loaded in the bottom of
the ninth they still lost the
contest.
The Guilfordian
On Friday the Quakers fell
to the Hornets of Lynchburg
College 11-1. The Quakers
only run came after Pella

Gary Reynolds.
