Whirlies Swamp Gastonia
After Smearing Salisbury
Two conference wins spotlighted
the action on the baseball front this
week. The Whirlies rolled over first
place Gastonia 10-5 and Salisbury
7-4.
For the first time in five years,
Coach Julian Smith’s baseballers
won a conference game in Gastonia
last Friday night with a convincing
10-5 victory. This was the second
time the Whirlies have defeated
them this year.
Tlie Whirlies started the scoring
in the second inning with C. L.
Nabors adding the big punch with
his grand slam home run with the
bases loaded.
Greensboro hit at will in the
early innings before Gastonia could
halt the attack which saw the
Whirlies build up an 8-3 margin.
Gastonia threatened in just about
every inning but could not get that
important base hit in the clutch.
The game was played in unfavor
able weather conditions which ex
isted throughout the game. The
rain had fallen all day until game
time and then after the game it
progressed steadily.

number one Whirlie tennis player,
and Doug Orr, a junior high ad

bringing this honor to GHS.

year’s winner, is no longer in high
school competition, leaving the
field open to a new state champion.

match ended 7-0 in favor of Greens

the Reynolds High netmen 7-0 for

with the hitting exhibition of his
Whirlies. Along with Nabors, Tom
my Nance, Teddy Burcham, and
Norm Odyniec added timely blows.

the winners although allowing 16

ond place, the Greensboro Whirlies
followed the seven hit pitching of
Fritz Apple to hand the Boyden
High baseballers of Salisbury their
second defeat 7-4 in the Western
Conference AAA race at Senior
High on April 30.
To open the first inning the
Whirlies saw losing pitcher,

game away when he walked the
first two Whirlies and then ad
vanced them to second and third
on a wild pitch, David Thompson,
the next batter, lined a single to
left field to score the first two
runs.
