This past Monday night, some 1817 fans at Durham Athletic Park saw their beloved Durham Bulls act out those words as they literally slaughtered Salem 19-1 to take a half game lead over Kinston (who lost to Alexandria 7-5) in the Carolina League's Southern Division. Although anything can happen between now and the end of the first half on June 18, for now the Bulls , are basking in the glory of what seemed to be an im possible dream just a week and a half ago, Durham got things go ing early on the warm, muggy night when Alvin Moore hit a two out, two on homer in the bottom of the first to give the Bulls a ' 3-0 lead which was literal ly enough and the Bulls ."were headed for First place for the first time since May 5. Before the massacre ended, Moore would add another four bagger, Brad Komminsk would also send two out, as would Keith Hagman. Tom Hayes and Jeff Vuksan : had solo homers to give Durham a team total of eight, tying a Carolina League record set by Greensboro against Dan ville back in 1958. "What the heck can you say after a game like that?" asked , Bulls Manager "Dirty" Al Gallagher following the slaughter. "I'd like to save about 16 of those runs for our upcoming series with Alexandria," he added. For the Bulls, it was one of those nights that they , couldn't help but score with Salem throwing enough fat pitches and making enough errors to send any manager to an BACK 1 WTO Wttm All J 1 FIRST PLAGE ERIC deFREITAS INDUCTED INTO NATIONAL BOWLING ASSOCIATION HALL OF FAK2 CIAA Athletic Director of the Year J.

When PA announcer Eric Brooks informed the crowd that Kinston had been defeated, they went wild. For Durham and Kinston its now time .to play a chess game as the first half winds down. The two front runners do not meet on the field, thus they must keep winning and hope that somebody takes care of .the opposi tion. Mike Garcia, of the Bulls said, "It's great to Now it's up to us to stay there.'": Happiness Returns To Pack As Bulls Surge Back Into Race Science increases our power in proportion as it lowers our pride. -Gaude Bernard. By Elson Armstrong Jr. As recently as May 28, there seemed to be little hope for the Durham Bulls in the first half, of the Carolina League Pen nant race. On that day, the Bulls dropped a one-run game at Lynchburg and fell 6Vi games behind the high fly ing Kinston Eagles in the Southern Division. Durham manager "Dirty" Al Gallagher summed up the situation hv saving , that- his ttlub rave with dim hopes of -any kind of recovery. At press time, these same Durham Bulls find themselves riding the crest of a pennant wave as they' now trail Kinston by a scant half game and the crowds at the Athletic Park love it. The month of May was not kind to the Bulls. Their magic seemed to vanish in the late spring sun. A combination of a team hitting slump, men tal mistakes, bad base run ning, base on balls, a break down in pitching, and just plain bad luck all contributed to knock Durham out of first place.
